The Language of Worlds: July-August

The ever awesome Liv hosts this linkup. Make sure to check out her blog.

1. How long have you been writing this story?

Too long! About a year and a half. Which is sadly typical of me. It's been murder to write and I've been avoiding it a lot. I've been procrastinating and stewing. I just really want it to be good.

2. Who’s your favorite character? Why?

I'm going to say Chayse right now, because I've been figuring out his issues. He's dealing with PTSD in this one, and I love that he's like Dustfinger's broken love child.

3. Which character do you consider the “goodest of the good”?

Oooh, that's a tough one actually. Most of my characters bad sides come out in this one. I'd have to say Teddy, he's the purest. He wants the best for everyone.

4. Which character is the “baddest of the bad”?

Another tough one. I'm going to say Alilion.

 Cynfael's father. He's the northern fae king and a fairly monstrous one at that. Of course he had to go and show me a different side of him, so I now feel slightly sympathetic to him. Only slightly..

5. If you were to have tea (or coffee!) with one character, which one would you pick? Why?

Cynfael, we would have an interesting conversation. Drink Irish coffee's till we told each other all our secrets.

6. Describe your storyworld.

It's gilded in gold, marble, and blood. Magic is everywhere, coating everything. (That's the ideal anyway)

7. You’ve fallen into your book! Which place would you be happiest at?

It wouldn't be safe at all, but probably Rookshire. It's gorgeous and I would want to paint it. Most likely wouldn't last a week there.

8. Which place would you like to avoid at all costs? (Or, explore to know its secrets a little bit better?)

Rookshire, Humans are treated as a resource rather than people. 

9. Share an aesthetic!

10. Share a snippet!

The pain had dulled, subsided into an almost unnoticeable ache. The soft bite served to remind me that magic cost. Even if the affects weren’t always apparent. They were there, permanent as scars. It was never free.

Hope this was a fun peak at Fool's Bet.
