Character #2: Maverek // Blogging Schedule

 Hey!

I haven't even posted since the blog tour (which was so much fun!), but I'm finally back with the next character interview and what I *hope* will be a blogging schedule I can keep up with! First off, the schedule:

I'm going to try to post every Tuesday morning, with posts on Fridays sometimes. With school, writing, and life . . . who knows how often those Friday posts will come.

Now, on to interviewing Maverek! He isn't overly thrilled about this, but he agreed to try. *sighs* Finally.

Here goes!

Abby: Hey, Maverek! I'm so glad you could come!

Maverek: *smiles slightly* Only because you and Briannon begged me.

Abby: Well, I appreciate it! I'll try to keep this shorter than Bree's.

Maverek: Thank you.

Abby: Okay, to start us off, what does your name mean?

Maverek: In your time, it means "independent." I think that meaning was invented somewhat recently, though.

Abby: I think so. But, hey, it fits you! Maybe too well.

Maverek: I suppose it does.

Abby: What about your theme song?

Maverek: *clears throat* Briannon informed me that it is "Heart of Stone" by Britt Nicole.

Abby: And do you think it fits?

Maverek: Next question.

Abby: Okay. Well . . . what is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Maverek: I . . . I don't even know. Dark chocolate, maybe.

Abby: That makes sense. *smiles* Favorite restaurant?

Maverek: I don't like the idea of eating out.

Abby: I didn't think you would. It's not my favorite thing to do, either. Grocery store?

Maverek: Where do these questions even come from? I wasn't expecting . . . this.

Abby: *grins* A friend of mine. It's a lot better than if I came right out and asked you what your biggest fear is, right?

Maverek: Are those the kinds of questions you had planned? In that case, I'm very grateful to your friend.

Abby: *chuckles* Well . . . that is a good question for an interview like this. But I knew you wouldn't answer it anyway. Anyway, back to the grocery store.

Maverek: Isn't it simpler to just hunt and find your own food?

Abby: Well, there is that . . . Here's an easier one. Favorite animal.

Maverek:  Maybe a Silk Wolf. Or Range Dog. What you call them depends on where you're from.

Abby: Care to explain why that's your favorite animal?

Maverek: No.

Abby: Okay. Next question. What's your favorite color?

Maverek: What I think you call a "navy blue."

Abby: Yes, that fits you! Favorite sound?

Maverek: Silence. Or, at least the kind of silence you hear when you're outside late at night. When the insects are chirping and the owls are calling, but it still sounds like silence.

Abby: Ah, yes. What's your favorite hobby?

Maverek: Hunting, probably. I guess you could count that as a hobby, even though I did it to feed my family.

Abby: Do you like to read or write?

Maverek: Not often. I try to avoid reading aloud, and I almost never write.

Abby: I would ask more, but . . .

Maverek: You know I wouldn't answer?

Abby: Right. Well, those are all the questions I have for you! Thank you so much for joining me today!


Well, I hope y'all enjoyed that! See y'all next time!

Fonts & Titles: Book Cover Design Crash Course - Part 1

Welcome to day one in my new three-part series!  For three Tuesdays in a row, I want to share some tips about the incredible art of designing book covers. I've spent hours and hours researching, observing, critiquing, experimenting with, stressing over, and having fun with book cover design. And I'm still not tired of it. Matter of fact, I spent hours yesterday making sample covers for this blog post, knowing full and well that there wasn't even a story to go with any of them. However, for a lot of y'all, stressing for hours over the perfect book cover probably  isn't  your idea of fun.  But that doesn't mean you get to skip doing it. I know that a lot of people will tell you that you should always  hire a professional to create your cover. And I'm not saying that isn't a good idea.  But I know that professional book covers are expensive, and that a lot of indie authors don't have a couple hundred dollars lying around to buy one. So, hopefully, I can...

Let Me Introduce You...

I admit it.      My characters are real people to me. They have personalities, ideals, quirks, motivations, beliefs, good points, bad points. Like real-life people. I just happened to make these people up.     They're real to me, though, and I hope that, once you read their stories, they'll be real to you, too (a lot of commas right there).     First, though, you've got to know who they are. So that's what this post is about. I want to introduce you to some of the major characters in my novel, then you can ask questions about them - questions that they can answer in upcoming posts.     Now, to those intros. Protagonist: Briannon     Seventeen-year-old Briannon should be living in Zayvia's castle with her family of nobility. Instead, she's been living with a peasant family since she was twelve. She's left ruling to her uncle and sister - that's the way it's always been, even if it's wrong. But som e things are impossible to igno...

January 2021: Wrap Up

And . . . the first month of 2021 is already over! Can you believe it? 😮 Already this year, some big things have happened in my life! I got my first job! I decided on a timeline for publishing Like a Warrior . I read one of the rare books that actually blows my mind. I made a drastic change in career plans that I'm really excited about! I found yet another scheduling/to-do list method for my days that helps me! (I have to switch between different kinds of schedules and lists so I don't burn out.) I managed to stay consistent at blogging! I started a new blog series (Indie Author Spotlights). I participated in my first cover reveal! I joined Rebekah Morris's 2021 Reading Challenge! I had a lot of fun at The King's Daughters' Writing Camp! I wrote a short story in 21 words, as part of a challenge at Camp. That's the shortest story I ever remember writing! Writing progress in January: Worked on revising Like a Warrior , including majorly polishing the first chapte...
