#AwesomeCharacters Wren is 28 and Spencer is 30. It's important to the story because they have had life experiences that shape their personalities. While I love a coming of age, chosen one fantasy, I wanted to write more mature characters. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Wrencer

Presenter: hey you should use AI? Me:

#AwesomeCharacters Mireia & Kena both start off the series at 13yo and end at 18. I could answer "because it's YA," but that feels like a circular argument 😅 So I'll explain why I chose to write YA: Because the books I read from 13-18 were some of the ones that shaped me as a person the most, 🧵

Duggy is 35 yrs old. Why? Easy, because I don't see enough stories about regular people in their 30's and 40's in crazy situations. He has no children, no particular set of skills, and is trying to make it one day at a time. Then the apocalypse happens and like... ¿What do now? #AwesomeCharacters

The basics are easier to yap about when the brain don't act right, Charlie! ⚠️It gon' be long. Their starting ages aren't crucial to the story in the long run but somewhat important at the beginning. Mana is introduced at 24, an age when many college-goers have been out for a few months. 🧵1/9

Road trip! 🚗 I burned us a CD for our drive into Sunnyside. ☀️ Did you print the MapQuest? 🗺️ Can't wait to find #TheCryptidOfSunnyside! 👣 #UnhingedPit #NA #LGBT #Paramystery #W ( Extended playlist-in-progress: open.spotify.com/playlist/5Vr... )

#Septopolis 23 Sunnyside is quite safe. Most interactions with the law are for back road speeding tickets and low-level marijuana offenses (D.A.R.E. be damned). Although, someone keeps stealing the shoelaces from the bowling alley and the roller rink 🤔

#Septopolis 23 Shorespine is full of crime, particularly in the lower tiers. There's such a surplus that criminals sometimes have to book dark alleyways in advance to prevent scheduling conflicts. It's driven by tradition, boredom, curiosity, 'just being there', and of course... ✨opportunity✨.

#Septopolis 23 Kaghar makes every effort to combat crime by compensating for factors that would have motivated it in the first place, so having a renowned social safety net to meet the needs of its citizen-employees goes a long way. It doesn’t account for *everything* of course. 🧵

#Septopolis 23 Unwisely choosing to answer this while barely awake 😅 In Arx Lucis, everyone has their basic needs met: housing, food, medicine, etc. As I said another day, people generally live like comfy middle class types, so you don't get many poverty-driven crimes like theft. HOWEVER... 🧵1/10
