I hope you're having a great day/night, Scaley!

How’s the relationship between the twins and their parents? Their grandmother?

Hey Aye! My evening is going well, thank you! I hope you’re having a great day/night, too!

Oh, the twin’s parents love their kids dearly. They didn’t expect to have twins but they see them as a gift in their lives. Their mom, a historian, spent many years at home to give them as much love as possible before she would return to work. To spoil them, treat them like the best children in the world. She always wanted to make sure that they don’t feel like a possible burden or unwanted. 

Their father, although working in his antique store, he took as much time off to spend time with his family. He can’t give up his work to stay at home 24/7. This doesn’t lessen the love he feels for his babies. Together they went out a lot, spent days at the family’s cottage. Enjoyed nature together. 

Peyton and Miranda are deeply thankful for their parent’s attention. They are spoiled little brat, believe that they are the best children in the world. And they believe that they deserve it. But when they wouldn’t want to trade their parents for any other people.

Hi, Lizzy! I hope you're having a great day/night!

I’ve always wondered about how writers come up with the concepts for their stories. Especially with stories that have grand worldbuilding and dark themes that really captivates me. So, what was your thought process that lead you to have your WIP(s) now? How did it come to you?

Hi Aye, hope you’re having a great day/night too!! Thanks for the question~

I came up with the how to break every rule in the caretaker’s handbook concept a couple of months ago. I usually begin by creating a couple of characters. In this case, Violet.

I began figuring out Violet’s story. She’s a newbie caretaker in a community that has separated from the others. She’s taking care of a human who is chronically ill and she doesn’t really know what she’s doing. That was kind of my basic premise and since I’m someone who does a lot of character building through dialogue, I was making up dialogue in my head and I then came across the amazingly messy relationship that is Echo and Dewdrop.

Afterwards I lost a bit of interest in the concept and tried a couple of other wip concepts (one wip is about urban dragons, I don’t have more than that) but soon I found myself gravitating back to this concept of caretakers. And Dewdrop was the character I found the most intriguing. There’s so much backstory regarding them, so I shifted my focus to them.

At first I wanted to write this story like Dewdrop is directly writing a handbook for the members of their community, but seeing as I’m a dialogue-heavy writer, I switched it up very quickly.

I hope you're having a great day/night, Scaley!

What’s the main attraction of the amusement park? Is there an attraction least visited? As the writer, which animatronics are your favorites?

Thank you, Aye! My evening is going quite well! I hope you’re day/night is treating you well!

The main attraction...? Honestly, I haven’t decided yet as it, of now, wasn’t important to decide on only one main attraction. 

Although, Mimi’s stage show has been one of the most loved attractions AND was the main attraction for many years in the past. But a stage show couldn’t keep up as visitor magnet when people would demand more exciting, newer, shinier attractions. 

One less visited attraction - due to the removal of the animatronic - was Nellie’s tea cup ride. She was an important part of the entire design, and when Makary demanded that she would be removed it was still a fun attraction but it didn’t have the same charme as before.

Hi, hello! I hope you’re having a great day/night, Scaley. About Makary and the animatronics. Which ones is he the closest to? Does he have his favorites?

Hey Aye! Thank you for your frequent questions and your support throughout the underwing challenge! 

Oof... oof! Does he have a favorite? A clear no. He had poured too much time, love, tears, passion into his animatronics to even dare to choose a favorite. He loves each of them for their own unique reason. Mimi has a special place in his heart as his longest living creation and carries his grandmother’s voice, Lenny as the big brother of the animatronics and selfless help. Nellie, Mo, Remy... He would rather stop creating than to choose a favorite.

Hi, Lizzy! Day 25 is a writer check-in. How are you doing with your WIP so far? Are you struggling with anything? Or is everything going smoothly? What about your day today?

Hi dear, thanks for the question!! Sorry this is a day late, but I didn't do any writing yesterday, so talking about how it's going today is better ;)

I took three weeks off from writing and I've missed it so much. However, I'm also struggling to get back into it.

Today, I finally figured out what I'm gonna do with the next couple of scenes and I feel like the flow and plot of the story is back. (In comparison to the last couple of scenes feeling choppy and disconnected.)
