For #KPopMonday #SoloLadiesOfKpop, here's Taeyeon singing "Into the Unknown" for Disney's Frozen 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLj0MyVyhaU

The "Side Quests" are only available in the collected edition of *Revin's Heart*. https://waterdragonpublishing.com/product/revins-heart/

#PennedPossibilities Does your MC have any nicknames?

In Revin's Heart, members of the nobility usually assume an alias when acting outside of their official capacity. In *Where There's a Will* one of the "side quests" in the collected edition, Will offers a few suggestions.

In the confusion, however, they had missed the rescue. And when they returned, their baby was gone. They were inconsolable. Now, they were just trying to keep from getting corralled by the workmen.
"Go!" yelled one of the men closing in from the side. #wss366

There was one place you could sneak out of the stockade, but to get back in, you needed assistance from inside to hold the wire up. The two CuddleTums had left their baby asleep so one could sneak out to get some food while the other held the wire.

Three workmen were inside the building trying to catch the two remaining CuddleTums.
"C'mere," said one of the men, holding a large sack behind his back, trying to coax them within range to grab them. "We won't hurt you."

#WritersCoffeeClub Does caffeine intake influence your writing?

Only its absence, which gives me a headache.

I've tried quitting caffeine before and found that it's so ubiquitous that if I'm not using it regularly, it has a strong effect that can be unpleasant, e.g. eating chocolate for dessert and being wired at bedtime. As long as I drink coffee regularly, the caffeine has basically no effect. I routinely drink coffee in the evening and sleep fine.

But if I don't get any in the morning…

#ScribesAndMakers What would your best creative life look like, keeping it realistic?

[Looks around. Opens mouth. Closes it again.]

American voters: "I regret I have but one nose to cut off to spite my face."

"Never heard of it."
"Oh. It was the first kind of plastic." He poured them each a cup of tea then sat down. They both heard a crunch.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" she said. He stood and they inspected the bracelet now broken into three or four pieces. "I guess now it's made out of #satellite." (3/3) #wss366

She inspected it curiously. "What is that? It looks cheap."
"It looks cheap, and I got it for a song," he called from the kitchen. "But it's actually quite valuable."
"Ew. Why?" She set the bracelet back on his chair.
"It's made out of bakelite!" he said, placing the tray on the coffee table. (2/3)

"Wanna see my newest acquisition?" he asked, getting up as the tea kettle started to whistle.
"What is it this time?" she asked. "You always get such weird stuff at the flea market."
He handed her a colorful plastic bracelet. "Ta-da!" Then he scurried out of the room. (1/3)

Maybe Miss Demeanors should be the daughter of General Amnesty and form a polycule with Felonious Monk and Corporal Punishment.

I uncharacteristically heard voices, looked out, and realized that today is the so-called "blarney blowout." Streams of undergraduates are walking past my house to attend parties in North Amherst. I don't see any with BORGs this year. #westernmass

Miss Demeanors and her ill-fated romance with Corporal Punishment.

I looked up my books at biblio.com. Weird. Resellers claim to have absurd numbers of my books (69? Nice!) and are offering them at ludicrous prices: they cost less than that new!

He'd been at the bar for a long time and was drinking his third scotch when the music started up. He looked over his shoulder and saw that a young woman had started playing the piano. Her fingers seemed to #glide effortlessly over the keys. She moved smoothly from one song to the next. She wasn't using sheet music, but playing from memory. But not just playing the notes. Her music was invested with feeling, spirit, and soul. He closed his eyes, swept away by the sound and his memories.

Many thanks to @ojensen for producing and sharing these awesome pins. We will wear them with #pride.

#WordWeavers Which one of your characters is in the safest situation?

Probably Tseluna. As an ancient demon, she's incredibly over powered as any kind of ordinary character. There aren't many entities that could offer a legitimate challenge to her power: only organized demons could offer a serious threat and, by nature, demons mostly don't organize.

Tseluna is a protagonist in *A Familiar Problem* coming soon from Water Dragon Publishing.

*Lady Cecelia's Sacrifice* is Part 5 of *Lady Cecelia's Journey*, a sapphic romantasy road story. It has not yet been scheduled for release, but if you subscribe to my monthly newsletter, you can receive updates when it appears. https://author-sdbrewer.micro.blog/subscribe/
