#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions Who do you think is the MC? The love interest? The bestie? The antagonist? 😉

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions My MC is actively trying to fit in and not be noticed because she’s competing under a false identity: a woman disguised as a man. But her disguise makes her look younger than she is, more like a teenage boy, so she stands out in a group of adult men.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions 😂 It’s not a thing in my world, and my MCs aren’t superstitious enough to really believe in it… but one of my side characters would probably carry a talisman for either good luck or to ward off bad luck. Rabbits foot maybe?

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions They want the same thing: to rule the kingdom of Karop, to retain their agency and remain free of subjugation. But they have very different ideas of what that looks like (one progressive, one maintaining the status quo), and their goals are mutually exclusive. One must win

# WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions Sapina is afraid of being powerless and subjugated, of only being worth her bloodline and ability to produce a royal heir. It pushes her to fight back, to prove her worth in a man’s world, to go after a different life for herself and her people.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions Condensing it into a pitch and a trad debut length novel! It wants to be a sprawling epic. It wants to be a beautifully huge tome on my shelf. Figuring out what needs to stay and what needs to go while keeping the story and character integrity is a challenge!

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions That even if the world doesn’t expect much of you, you can expect much of yourself. Don’t let their prejudices and assumptions hold you back. Don’t settle for your “role” in life. You are powerful. Trust yourself. Have some faith. And whatever your dream is, GO FOR IT!

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions The king’s death. It’s the inciting incident really, but it happens off screen before the story starts. We open with them dealing with the fallout. But that moment changes everything.

#WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions Oooo… good question… 🤔 I AM most like Sapina, my FMC, but I’d like to be more like Rose, my MMC’s sister. Feisty, smart, confident, sexy, driven, funny. 🤷‍♀️ Do I have some of those traits? Sure. But all of them all the time? No way. 🤪
