Writer Q&A Tag Game

Thank you so much @mthollowell-writes for the tag! I loved reading your answers and this was fun to fill out :)

1) What motivates you to write?

Mostly my mind cannot stop thinking of Situations. Whether they're for characters from my current TV/film hyperfixations or my own OCs, writing is the best way for me to get it out of my system and the artistic form I'm the best at.

2) A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them)

From Where Paradise Died and Lived:

Sophie was just about draw her hand away, and perhaps he felt the pressure lessening, for then he brought his own hand up to cover hers, to keep her from moving it. He held her hand there, his fingers curling just barely under hers, not with any force but with a lightness she had just been administering to him. And underneath it, a reassurance that seemed to communicate he wanted something that quickened her heart. She knew if she proceeded here, she would be crossing a line she had thought she wouldn’t cross for a long time yet. She finally raised her gaze to meet his, and all sense escaped her—his eyes looked like the way she felt, all the encouragement she needed. A little bit scared, a little bit in love, she kissed him.

3) Which OC makes you smile every time you think/talk about them and what are they like?

Honestly, I haven't gotten to write a lot of him yet, but I have a soft spot for Fendley. He believes passionately in the Velitovan cause and wants to fight for its independence...but he's also the biggest homebody and hates being away from Merity. The two parts of his personality are just direct contradictions to each other, it makes me laugh.

4) What process of writing do you enjoy the most?

Character building: creating a backstory, personality, aesthetic, all that good stuff

5) What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)

Describing inner turmoil? When I look at the passages I'm most proud of, they all have to do with an internal dialogue of some kind, usually in a situation with heightened tension or vulnerability where a character has a lot going on in their mind.

6) What is something in the writeblr community is most enjoyable?

Making friends with everyone! The support system is a huge motivator and definitely something that keeps me going.

7) A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech to text, a writing program etc)

Scrivener, my beloved. I was working in Evernote for way longer than I ever should have and was getting just so sick of it that I finally took the plunge to get Scrivener. Night and day comparison. There are so many great tools and functions and I love being able to have one document for a WIP and its outline, characters, worldbuilding, everything. It's definitely pricey up front, but in the long run worth it since it's just a one-time purchase. Highly recommend giving it a trial run to anyone interested.

8) A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law etc)

I really love the country of Velitova, especially the lands beyond the Idylwild. In-universe they're written off as being sort of rural, but the nature out there is so beautiful and pristine. Huge rolling hills, a huge lake surrounded by flowering trees, cliffs facing a wild ocean...yes.

9) What piece of advice would you say to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?

Stop writing: Whether it's a for a few days or a few months, taking a break from my WIPs and re-setting my mind whenever I am struggling is always the best solution.

Return to worldbuilding: I've seen a lot of people discuss how we get desensitized to the cool things in our WIPs after a while. Creating more cool things that will be new to me as well often makes my WIP exciting again.

Get outside: Traveling always inspires me, but I find even walking around your neighborhood can be so helpful! I especially walking among trees in the fall, that air of melancholy during that time of year just gets me.

10) Tag some people whose works you love/have been your biggest supporters

Love to @sugar-phoenix, @macabremoons, @orphicpoieses @awordchemist @moonlitinks (all of whom should take this as a gentle tag to answer the Q&A yourself!), and special shout out to my IRL best friend @canofpeaches who always goes feral whenever I send her a WPDL snippet (hope you did not combust reading the one above) <3

The Between Premium and even Discount Fly Sportfishing Flies

How big regarding a difference do premium game fishing lures make for your day on the water? There are numerous out generally there advertising "Quality" or "Premium" fly fishing lures, but are not even close to it. A high grade dry fly will certainly land right-side upward, float properly plus consistently, and retain those properties even after catching five, 10, even 20 fish. However, badly tied flies will often land inverted, on their area, and even on their own head. Reduced bass fly in a travel shop costs anyplace from $1. 55 to $3. 00, bass and browse flies $3. 00 - $5. 00 but there will be literally dozens involving online retailers who offer similar patterns for half that will price. You may pay more for a new premium fly from a fly store but research implies the fly lasts nearly 10 times longer. You have to ask yourself one question: Do I want an a couple of fish fly or perhaps a 20 species of fish fly? Let's examine some of the differences: Supplies Typically the first important stuff is the hackle. Many advances have already been made within the last 60 years with the particular hackles that will be used by the particular premium commercial travel tiers. Flocks need been bread centered upon color, hackle length, and barb stiffness to produce superior hackle.

It has been a procedure beginning with Harry Darbee in typically the 1940's and fifties continuing today with the hackles created by Dr. Tom Whiting of Whiting Harvesting and Buck Metz of Metz Hackles, among others. Premium fly manufacturers these kinds of as Idylwilde Jigs, Umpqua Feather Merchants, and Rainy flies use the best quality superior hackles The 2nd stuff of significant importance is the quality of the connect. Tiemco has placed itself as the particular World's leader in premium grade fly fishing hooks with imagination and attention to detail in the functional varieties of its premium fly tying hooks. From bass to tarpon, within freshwater or saltwater, for bass popcorn poppers or Micro Mayflies, top fly producers choose Tiemco barbs over the other competitor's best work. They were one of the first manufacturers to chemically sharpen the factors and after this is standard over the industry. They have a very large distinctive line of flyfishing hooks with about fouthy-six models to choose from. At typically the end of the particular hook designation, you may see a "SP, " this stands for Specialty Level. The SP tow hooks have a hollow curve point with triangulated edges intended for easier sharpening. Typically the hooks also possess a slow frapper which assists within easier hook units. An interesting element of this hook is the basal end from the point has a new swelling that gets results much like a barb without staying a barb. This may be associated with some advantage inside holding hook pieces with the barbless hooks. Another naming you may see is definitely "TC" which appears for Tiemco Minimize. This is some sort of cut that Tiemco uses on particular wet and streamer flies for enhanced hooking penetration. "Its everything regarding quality, or even better said shortage thereof, " Bruce Olson from Umpqua Feather Merchants tells. "The first concern is that cheap imports always usually are tied on inexpensive hooks, with peculiar sizing. I realize that a quality fly has to be tied in [name brand] hooks. This becomes very important for big game, such as tarpon, where sharpness plus ultimate tensile strength of typically the hook wire are vital. inch Some sort of discount fly provider's failure to make use of top-notch materials implies a final product won't compare. As Shawn Brillon, the prospect fly buyer for Orvis says, "If you have in order to tie with rubbish, usually the final product or service is the same... junk. " Discount travel manufacturers also take shortcuts to minimize charges and materials. Bruce states, "In buy to produce lures that cheap, these guys have got in order to take shortcuts. inches The discount fly companies use substandard hooks and components, skip important tying steps (such since laying down some sort of glue base around the hook shank to help keep the materials on place), and no longer exhibit much quality control. Patterns A new second important good quality of premium take flight fishing flies may be the adherence to standard pattern recipes. Generic described one "Copper John" that this individual purchased online while missing the epoxy over the shellback in addition to the lead under the thorax. "So, you may possess saved a lot of money on the fly, nevertheless a possibility a Water piping John! " he says, and information that such a second-rate version from the well-liked fly won't conduct on the normal water just how its designer intended. Without the lead, it won't kitchen sink correctly, along with the lack of epoxy makes the fly much significantly less durable. Factories Just about all fly production is usually done in 3rd world countries as a result of price but likewise because they still operate with their palms. Although they are generally third world countries the fly divisions are paid the good wage and earn middle course income because of their operate. The more expensive flies carried from the premium fly shops such as Blue River Fly Business are tied in Thailand, the take flight tying capital involving the world. https://www.plusinno.com/collections/fly-fishing-rod will discover over a dozens of major fly tying or braiding companies that experience tying facilities right now there. Other areas of the world that do a significant amount of travel production include The far east, Sir Lanka, plus Kenya. There exists many production in Central and South America, Mexico, and the Thailand. The fly manufacturing in the Unified States and Europe where the largest amount of users will be is primarily by simply home tiers or perhaps tiers that link for specific skim shops. Many high quality fly manufacturers, which include Idylwilde have the strong belief in corporate social accountability and rely on reasonable trade. They get duty for the effects their activities need on customers, staff, communities and the particular environment. As Idylwilde describes on their website: "If the fly's worth only $. 99 that not only pulls, but it was likely tied within a third-world sweatshop plus we'd rather not have access to that bad mojo hanging on our conscience. Idylwilde travel fishing flies are usually tied in Manila, Philippines within significantly forward-thinking arrangement together with Sister Christine Tan, a Catholic jetzt who believed the girl people needed extra than charity. They will needed good-paying, honest jobs they can rely on as they built an existence outside the limits of poverty. Each of our promise to Sis Christine continues some 12 years later, now enabling over 150 tiers to better offer their very own families. The lures you see in this article are the work of their hands and their hopes. " Fly Fishing Fly Costs The standard cost of most desired to get a premium travel manufacturer for typically the simple dry lures and nymphs equals to about dollar 4. 50 -- $5. 50 a dozen. Additional shipping, responsibility costs and a great US excise duty add an further $1. 00 the dozen. The fly companies which are importing the flies require to make a new profit so the price to the shops are generally with keystone (50% markup) therefore the cost to the shops will be now at $ 12. 00 for every dozen. The soar shop pays shipping and delivery and marks up for their operating expenses and profit, keystone again, the cost for the consumer is definitely pushing that $2 -3 price an individual pay at a physical fly shop. The top box stores, to obtain the pricing into what they do are either having huge discounts for volume level buying or they will are getting jigs that are attached somewhere other compared to Thailand, or each. Hopefully now whenever you get sticker shock when an individual go in a soar shop you can know why the go shopping is charging what it does. Cost per Fish Bruce Olson states that anglers have to look at typically the cost of a new fly in regards to its toughness. If the 75-cent Stimulator falls apart after the further fish, but the particular $1. 75 Umpqua Stimulator is useful for twelve fish, then a cost effectiveness of the more costly fly is twice as high. (75 broken down by 2 fish=37. 5 cents for each fish, 175 broken down by 10 fish=17. 5 cents per fish. ) "You gotta do the particular math, " claims Olson. Premium Go Fishing Lures A person would not settle for sub-standard rods, reels, fly lines, waders, etc. that break apart or break following a couple times fishing. Why then settle of substandard flies? Flies are the most important part of take flight fishing. When the conclusion result to all with this is to get fish then the reason why not spend more time, cash, and energy about the only element the fish notice? " Price is usually quite a good signal towards the overall good quality from the flies an individual buy. Cheap jigs are almost often cheaply tied. This does not take a Rocket Scientist to accomplish the math. An individual can also test them out by producing sure they don't easily spin, will be designed well intended for balance, are tied to the proper portion, and so on Umpqua, Idylwilde, and Rainy have got significantly raised typically the standards through which premium quality fishing flies will be defined using their work with of premium supplies such as Tiemco hooks, Metz and even Whiting hackle, in addition to by developing the consummate skills associated with its production travel tyers.

Disappointment

By Howard Shapiro

In the new reality of staying home and in place many of us are sorting it out with each day. In Washington State we are in our fourth full week of ‘stay home, stay healthy’. Being at home has given me some time to think about so many things. Among them have been how I spent the spring of 2017 and 2018. I was in Southern California walking those PCT sections. Prior to that time my work schedule just wouldn’t have allowed me to take on ‘the desert’. With a change in schedule/retirement, I knew I had to go to the desert and I did. 

By happenstance I got to experience the ‘super bloom’ of 2017 and found no shortage of water in either 2017 or 2018. The weather was also cooperative.  My hikes were strikingly successful, meaningful, and impactful. I shared time with dear friends and also experienced what being alone was all about. I met people who became new friends. I discovered some confidence I didn’t know I could tap into. 

In 2019, after many years of sectioning the PCT, I walked my last sections to complete the trail. Here I am in the spring of 2020  and the trail is closed. That has never happened before. Sections have closed due to fire but not all 2600 miles because of a virus. Some people had already set out and most if not all got the word and left the trail. Sadly, even in the short time the trail was open at least one hiker lost their life. Since the closure the Sierras have been hit with late winter/early spring snow storms. These have blanketed the trail from Idyllwild north. Travel would likely be treacherous for all those starting the PCT this spring.

Being home, I have been imagining the thoughts and feelings of so many who either started then stopped or those that never got to start at all. The adage of ‘all dressed up and nowhere to go’ comes to mind. It takes a lot of logistics, planning, thought, and grit to decide to do any part of the PCT. It doesn’t matter if you do a section or all of the sections. It really requires a whole lot of determination.

One feeling that must be on a lot of people’s minds and in their hearts is disappointment. What a powerful feeling. Disappointment can be defined more than one way. As a noun [it is] sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one’s hopes or expectations. Some synonyms include dismay, dissatisfaction, frustration, and letdown. All those words and descriptions seem to capture the sense fo what many may be feeling right now. 

One journalist, Chris Kenning, summed it up this way, “...the pandemics unsparing ability to torpedo even our most pivotal moments has nonetheless brought a mix of crushing disappointment, on the fly workarounds and life affirming shifts in perspective.” Many have had their plans ‘torpedoed’. Coming up with ‘workarounds’ may still be possible for 2020 but maybe not. Shifts in perspective is one of many ‘have to’s’ right now. Nevertheless the trail will remain. If you are one of the many who dreamed of walking your walk and hiking your hike in 2020 it appears that 2021 may be your year. Maybe a portion of 2020 will still allow for some determined types to get on the PCT further north. This assumes COVID-19 is slowed or stopped, the trail is reopened and plans can get changed. 

Disappointment is a huge feeling, especially this year. However a skill that works well on and off the trail is flexibility. If we can conjure up our most flexible selves then that may be a way to set aside the disappointment and make room for the enthusiasm and excitement of following our hopes and dreams. Like many, I have had some disappointments on and off the trail. The virus will recede and all of those waiting for a better time will definitely proceed and succeed at putting themselves on the PCT. Don’t give up, none of it, your dreams, hopes, and the trail itself aren’t going away!!

OC in 15

Thank you @the-down-upside-finch and @lexiklecksi for the tag!

Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

I'm going with my Sephris Wiel for this one, the prince of snarkness.

"So am I supposed to bow, or what? Thought Stesara stripped you of all that business."

“Are you going to stand all day out there?”

“You’ve had a long day, I expect, you can just sit if you’d like—"

“We’re not as nosy as people seem to be in the capital. If you want to talk to give an interview, I can introduce you to him in town tomorrow. But here, we generally let people have some privacy about their feelings.”

"'Ceremony of humiliation'? Is that something the old heres pricena is used to seeing happen to someone else?”

“Don’t worry, Breo can handle two people. You’re a strong boy, aren’t you?”

“They know who you are, but they don’t know you. Everyone in this town knows each other’s names, their families, what they do. You haven’t said a word to any of them.”

"We might not be Fareis, but we do get the papers here, Your Highness.”

“First of all, don’t call them children. They’re all in Upper School and won’t take kindly to the insult.”

“Do you want to go over there and interrogate him yourself? What’s the matter with you?”

“That’s none of your business. It was honestly earned, I can tell you that.”

“He should have lost a lot more. My parents died that year, and he gets to resign and live the rest of his days in comfort in the capital?”

"This isn't the Mirellette Palace, Laesia. It's real life."

"Will they even recognize you? No one north of the Idylwild has seen you in almost a year and the Corps’ been on the road for even longer than that."

"Would you shut up, it wasn't like that—!"

Tagging @mercurygray @softspeirs @hesbuckcompton-baby and open tag because this was fun <3
