Well, looks like I took up crochet. Let's see how this goes.

#LateNightWrite Lastak's sort of using selfish motivations (wanting to be well known enough to be noticed when she disappears, which in translates to a lot of issues) as a coping mechanism. She does not share a lot because she is paranoid about being discovered and dragged back to where she's from.

Character question: What are your character(s) more selfish motivations? Do they struggle to share, or do they share too much? #LateNightWrite

I could go into more detail here but that would be a book (with politics and the existence of mages and nature spirits and their biggest neighbor being what it is all factoring into it).

#LateNightWrite Yes, it's a world after all and some people will be greedy. The economy of the country where the story takes place in is mostly agriculture-based, though there is trading and manufacture. Being a gigantic country helps with it being mostly self sufficient.

Worldbuilding question: Does the world of your WIP experience economic disparity? What kind of economies exist in your worlds? #LateNightWrite

#LateNightWrite Yes. A major driver of the plot is the economics around working as a mage. There's the politics aspect as well, which I would say has a component of greed (for power and resources).

General Question: We've done Pride, Wrath, and Sloth, so let's examine Greed next. Do you examine economic disparity, greed, and selfishness in your WIPs? #LateNightWrite

Answer to the bonus question: I have been to too many places to pick one. Generally, I love anywhere I can just walk around in nature.

Hello #LateNightWrite I finally managed to be here on time in a while. I'm still working on Shadow Mirage, my episodic fantasy WIP, and I'm currently working on rewrites and some worldbuilding stuff.

Welcome to tonight's #LateNightWrite, let's kick things off with introductions: Tell us about yourself and your WIP(s)! Bonus question: Where was the best place you went on vacation?

Watch out for this bit where they throw a double negative at you hoping you're just smashing "Strongly Disagree" and not looking to skew their data.

PSA: do not check whether your bike's lights are working by turning them on in your face. I will be echolocating for the rest of the day.

Correct the best music happened when I was about 15.

Times weren’t better back then. You were just in your carefree youth and are missing that time now. We tend to claim that music, fashion, TV, and society peaked when you were in your teens. It’s not the world it’s you that you are melancholic about.
