Maggie is questioning everything she has ever learned. Her QPR partner Roe has read the Divine Comedy with her, twice. But the Inferno is much MUCH different than she expected, so all her plans of attack are a bit useless Turns out Roe might not be human, but that's something to tackle later

#Novmemeber 11 What gets your MC flustered? What throws them off their groove, makes them think twice, or otherwise throws a wrench in their plans? (There's some room for interpretation here; if the answer is anything romance-related, please keep it SFW!)

Right now, Maggie just needs a place to sit down, and she will probably pass out from the physical and emotional stress of everything. Right now she's taking a nap in a chariot and by God her dreams are filled with ✨ symbolism ✨

I wrote 8 pages today! #firstline: I had seen Roe irritated, annoyed, and, once, righteously furious #lastline: my offending rib became a crude shank, and punctured my lung #favline: "Stop yelling," Roe breathed, as calm as could be. #writingcommunity #writesky

Maggie has just met the Horseman of Conquest at the Gate of the Inferno. Conquest rides a white horse, wears a crown, and carries a bow and arrows. Since Conquest is about 10 feet tall, their gilded arrows are the size of spears, conduct lightning, and char their targets on impact

Wrote another 8 pages today! #firstline: I met Roe and their family at Grannie's funeral rehearsal. #finalline: Conquest sighed. "It has been 3,750 years. The inferno is evolving." #editingadvice: They (Roe) chuckled again, the sound filled the church as if they had struck the bells above our heads.

In my modern day Inferno, I establish early on that all the fire, sunlight, and boiling blood are actually from Heaven, and purify the souls in Hell. When their flesh is burned away, and the ashes are taken up to Purgatory, their bones are left behind to build onto the ossuary that is The Inferno

The City of Limbo that Maggie visits in the first circle is filled with every business that has ever gone bankrupt, ancient ruins, and abandoned buildings. Limbo is populated by pagan spirits who rejected Heaven after they suffered at the hands of the church. 1/2

#OctoberWorldbuilders, good morning! What are the aesthetics of a town/city/location in your world? What's the architecture, food, culture, etc. like in that place? And would you visit it if you had a chance?

The fact that we still can't edit posts over here annoys me 🫠

Progress!

The main antagonist is having the time of their life. They love feeling like a puppet master, spitting in God's face, and plotting all the different ways they can take revenge on Heaven

Based on how Pazuzu brings Maggie and Roe to Limbo Pazuzu: this ferry gets heavier every damn day! *Continues dragging them through the dried up River Acheron* Roe: I didn't realize global warming was so bad the Rivers in Hell were drying up! Maggie: *screaming, crying, throwing up*

I pretty much made Belial the embodiment of my negative thoughts, so having Maggie bring able to actually confront him, and bring him to his knees is something I am looking forward to in the last act of Hell is Under Construction

Maggie compares herself relentlessly to the other women in her family. Not over looks, or achievements, but she builds them up into perfect role models that she is striving to live up to. But her version of perfection is very different from theirs', and none of them are actually perfect.

I have actually decided to edit this passage. *Ahem* My vision came back as we raced down the steep hill. The sky was a stomach churning navy #blue, but everything else was bathed in grey scale. "Not right now!" Roe hissed as rain poured down around us. #WIPSnips #writesky 🧵 1/2

Roe raised their hands in surrender, and jumped when a raindrop landed on their finger. The sky had turned from peaceful #blue to a stomach churning navy. Thunder and lightning cracked overhead. "Not right now," Roe hissed. #WIPSnips

Maggie (and I) both look for people who are patient and considerate, and slow to anger. Roe speaks in whispers, or sometimes a "librarian's hum" when they have to raise their voice. And then, it takes almost to the halfway point for Roe to finally lose their patience with someone directly

This is actually hilarious because it's the opposite for my story. The Mesopotamian wind demon Pazuzu actually has to beg and bribe Maggie and Roe to let him tag along in their journey through Hell, eventually thrusting an amulet upon them to summon him once they reach the 8th circle for ✨ reasons✨
