February 1: How satisfied are you with your current writerly ‘voice’?

Working through the sequel, the voice seems OK. There is my authorial voice (the whole books feels like me) and the voices of the different characters.

Pure satisfaction may be found by the reader but I am never utterly satisfied with any writing.

#ScribesAndMakers 1/2: What's 1 creative thing you'd like to get done this month?

Finish the strong first draft of the sequel to the Crooked Medium's Guide to Murder, holding title Crooked Medium Two and get it to betas. Absolute priority.

It is standing up well but I am making a policy decision to not use the full formality of Victorian etiquette where it might confuse the modern reader.

#WordWeavers 31/1: What’s your MC’s relationship with food like?

Mrs Ashton and Braddie both like their repasts. Mrs Ashton tends to extravagence and elegance, above her actual budget. Braddie is a plain cook with an eye on the pennies whose baking is described as 'sturdy' and who can be relied on to moan about expense in hotels. They've both been poor

#WordWeavers Jan 30: If there was a party, would your MC be the center of it or hiding in the corner?

Mrs Ashton is gregarious+ talkative. Depending on those attending, she might concentrate on those she needed to speak to, or circulate networking. Mrs Bradshaw, as fond of a drink, hates the social distinctions. She would enjoy a small gathering of the ordinary folk. Maisie (14) is learning to be amphibious between the nobs, the middling folk, and ordinary people. #amwriting #books #writing
