Loki once revealed himself as a combination of Brooklyn and Lexington from the Gorgoyles tv show. I thought that was pretty funny.

Here goes:
How do you give each character a distinct voice?
How do you misdirect who a villain is without creating Snape ( never liked that revelation)
I'm having timeline problems as well. I might direct message you this one because my question might be complicated.
Thanks!

#WriteSky How do you give each of your characters distinct voices? #WIP

Well I did it and it hurt. Hopefully once I flesh out the earlier scenes with this character it will be the gut punch I need it to be #WriteSky #Writing #WitchMadness #AmWriting #WIP

#WriteSky how do you get over the stumbling block of being able to see a scene, but not being able to put it into words?

Don't you just want to pull some reverse psychology and lie to them sometimes? 🀣

Do I miss those friends? Sometimes. I don't miss navigating hypocrisy and making excuses for "good people". I witnessed similar behaviour in other organizations over the years. We as #pagans and #witches don't get to mock and vilify other religions if we're unwilling to look in our own back yard.

I could have been better at keeping in touch but after leaving the group things left awkward between myself and those friends. I will never understand welcoming accused abusers into a group with a zero tolerance policy written right into our policies. The same policies created at my kitchen table 5/

After some soul searching I realized the group & probably any other public group so no longer the right place for me. I walked away. I also left facebook some time after for different reasons. Since then I have almost completely lost touch with the two close friends I started the group with. 4/?

The second time I spoke up I was accused of not wanting to work with anyone in the pagan community (not those words but you get the point). When I offered proof of the problematic practices of these individuals it fell on def ears. I thought the point of our group was to create a safe space. 3/?

There were the usual ups and downs plus a pandemic, but we were going strong. Until things started to feel wrong. Wanted to work with a group run by an accused (never charged) predator, suggesting partnering with a group with accusations of harm towards its members. 2/?

For #WitchMadness I'm going to tell you a story. I previously mentioned I lost most of my friends because of boundaries. In 2018 I helped create a multi-faith #pagan church (we called it a sanctuary). It was to be a place safe from predators that seem to infiltrate our spaces. 1/?

This is so simple, and yet rarely done in public ritual in my experience.

The moment you realize a character you just added to the story needs to die later on to move along the story. I just made myself sad. You will be avenge! #WriteSky #AmWriting #WitchMadness

I have to admit Christian/biblical aspects being used in Witchcraft is still something I struggle to understand.

#WitchMadness Wen your antisocial tendencies translate to your spirits. Sorry team, not today. I'll try to touch base tonight.

#WitchMadness How do you avoid spiritual echo chambers? Joining bluesky lol. Seriously though, I’ve learned more in this past year than I did in the past decade. Advice: read all the books/blogs you can. Actively research the topics that don’t interest you.

#WitchMadness25 This year Iβ€˜m reclaiming myself. My health, rebuilding my practice after a personal setback and reclaiming a part of my childhood. In 5th grade I got an incomplete on a writing assignment the teacher said was too good to be my work. 30 yrs later I’m still 😠 and am working on a novel.

Starting #WitchMadness26 late because #Life by talking about boundaries. Over the past couple of years I lost most of my #PaganCommunity becabuse I set boundaries. I could have done more to keep in touch, but the fact that only 1 person kept in regular touch when I left fb speaks volume.

I'm not 100% sure I know what that word means, but for the sake of my search history, I'm just going to assume. ;)

It's also super dangerous. lol I did it once and the flame got so high I panicked and snuffed it out...It only worked temporarily. Must get around to doing it again "properly".

See now why did it never occur to me that a cord cutting should literally be a cord cutting? I've only ever seen the candle thing.

omg I had a similar experience! I was fine was polish amethyst, but geodes or clusters used to freak me out. Now I prefer rough stones of all kinds.

#WitchyTips When you first start out learning your chosen path, start with the topic that least interests or downright scared you first. If you're anything like me, you'll often find those topics are the most beneficial.
