Writing Tag

✍️ Writing Tag: 
Tag Tuesday, November 7th, 2017📝

In honor of November being Nanowrimo: National Novel Writing Month, I decided to do some writing tags each of my Tuesdays this month. Also, I'm going to spend some time just talking about my writing.

This year I started writing a four-book series, that I have had the idea for since 2014. I am right now working (slowly) on my second novel. It's a twisted retelling of classic stories such as Fairy Tales, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and Greek Mythology. I am trying to get the first book represented by an agent at the moment. This series has become everything to me and I'm excited to do this tag all about the characters in this story.

This tag was created by Rachel from Rachel Writes here is a link to her blog: http://coffeeandcalligraphy.tumblr.com/post/146337815684/writing-tag

1. A crazy hacker's gone into your computer and has deleted all of your music, except for one song off of your writing playlist. Which song is it?-
🍂 "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" by Celine Dion. It's a favorite of mine and one of the longest songs. Luckily, I have all of it already backed up.

2. Your protagonist and antagonist have been paired by friends to go out to lunch together. Where do they go?
🍂 In my second book, I am planning on introducing a little family restaurant run by some trolls. That would be quite fun for them to go together. Poor Max.

3. You're crossing a bridge when the troll living under it stops you. He demands to read a chapter from your novel and won't let you cross otherwise. Which chapter do you give him?
🍂 I have written the first book in a series with retellings of classic books and tales. One of the chapters is actually focused on a goblin who owns a troll bridge (I won't say why he does). That would be the chapter I would choose.

4. Your friends have invited you out to a party. Surprise! All of your characters are there. Who do you choose to hang out with?
🍂 This is literally the hardest question for me. Well, if they are all there I would be able to meet them all, which would be the best day ever! The character I'd probably hang out with is Lyndell. We would have a great time dancing. The best party ever.

5. Crap. You left your car keys in your house, and you've (somehow) locked yourself out. Which of your characters picks the lock for you?
🍂 Zichwich would be perfect for picking locks. He's a trouble-making goblin. He'd know how to do it.

6. The zombie apocalypse is happening right now.  (It sucks.) Everyone is fleeing the planet and moving to Mars. ONE of your characters can go with you. Who do you choose?
🍂 Probably Arthur, who is first introduced in my second book. He's powerful and would probably be helpful in this situation.

7. You've been given the opportunity to travel to one place (town, building, landmark, country) in your book. Where do you go?
🍂 The White Kingdom, then I'd be able to go to the other worlds also.

8. You meet your main character and start a conversation with them. Problem is, you've got six words or less to do so. What do you say?
🍂 Everything's going to turn out okay. (At least I guess I would. I don't know)

9. Crazy acid rain is falling from the sky. Which of your characters would you use as an umbrella?
🍂 This is so easy, I would use the man in the magic mirror from the hunting cabin (makes sense if you read the book). The mirror would be perfect to hold off the rain. Also, it would not hurt him because the mirror is imperishable.

10. You're out at a restaurant with your main character and the time has come to order dessert. What do you order for them?
🍂 For Max, I'd order something with marshmallows. They have always been his favorite sweet since he was a child.
