#WordWeavers Jan 28: If your MC and SC each got 3 wishes from a genie, would any of their wishes cause problems for the other?
One of the side characters would wish to be an action hero. This would significantly upset two out of three of the rest of them.

#WordWeavers Jan 24: Your MC has to start a new business with their current skills. What do they do?
"Businesses" don't exist where she lives. Everyone helps to provide the basics they need to live--upkeep of the arcology, growing food, etc.--and then does whatever they like with the balance of their time. She always figured she'd eventually coach gymnastics.

#WordWeavers Jan 25: If traumatic events happen, do your characters process it on page for longer than a chapter?
Half the book is processing trauma, so yes.

#WordWeavers Jan 26: What is your current project teaching you, craft-wise or personally?
I'm able to generate enough "content" to fill a book (70K words and counting), but *sustaining* a story for that period of time is really hard. I'm not there yet. I'm hoping to learn it from this experience.

#WordWeavers Jan 27 — Is it difficult for you if your partner or closest friends don’t enjoy books?
Definitely. I would love for them to love my writing. The problem is that they know me too well, so they can't not see *me* in the text. They're not wrong, exactly, but that's not the intended reading experience.

#WordWeavers Jan 29: Have you ever written a pet into one of your stories?
Does a psychological manifestation of the (in)justice of Zeus that's capable of killing the protagonist count?
Yeah, didn't think so.
