Pull the lever, Kronk!

Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why?

1. Yzma had every right to be upset. She literally ran the empire, and she practically raised the boy, only for the brat to pink-slip her without a warning. 100% understandable crash out.

2. Ursula was very upfront about the “poor unfortunate souls” situation. There was a song. Conversations were had. Miss Princess was literally told.

3. Maleficent was very ready to forgive and forget. Then King Stephen & Co. had to go and be disrespectful. Naturally, everyone got hexed. Zero surprise there.

Finally, all three powerful ladies are excellent Mages in their own right. They also have a wicked sense of humour, and each one has impeccable style.

I will take no further questions on this matter.

Reading, apparently

What’s a skill you consider basic, that most people don’t actually know how to do?

Something is happening to reading skills and it is not good. Not just attention spans, which are declining rapidly, actual comprehension.

As in, not only understanding the words written, but understanding the context, subtext, intertext, and metatext of what you are reading. And knowing where to check if you don’t understand what you just read.

There is so much to reading, and it’s a skill humans really shouldn’t neglect, especially in the young.

Read bedtime stories to the children. And yourself.

Your inner child needs attention as well.

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Time is relative.

7 a.m. coffee to work through edits because deadlines.

3 a.m. and you’re writing because if you don’t, the idea is gone, and you will never get it back again. Ever.
