School meals should be free for everybody. Charging children to eat somewhere they are legally required to be for the entire day is crazy!

Bonnie and Lian both (unknowingly) wind up at the same night club at the same time at one point.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Antagonist Day! Do your antagonist and protagonist share any interests? Stripped of any quarrels between them, what could you see them enjoying doing together? Like Mario Kart for Bowser and Mario! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Her nemesis, Kirana, is the sole magic-using superhero. Her goal's to spread magical education to the public so people can better defend against supernatural threats. She feels that Bun Voyage's (Bonnie's) use of stage magic in the public eye undermines her efforts. And Bonnie has a crush on her.
A villain with a conscience is so much more interesting than a straightforward bad guy and a nemesis who's slowly realising she's not actually evil that tension must be really fun to write are they rivals or is there something more complicated going on between them?
Annex told them not to come for him, deeming it too risky. Evidence against him was minimal; he can just serve his sentence. What kickstarts the plot is Bonnie's conscience getting her involved in public events that make her nemesis start to see that she's a 'villain' but she's not a bad person.
She has a mentor figure who's now out of the picture that's such a compelling setup it sounds like there's a real found family dynamic there with her and her brother too is getting Annex out the driving goal of the story or does something bigger pull her in a different direction?
Bonnie certainly thinks so, despite being a supervillain. She's a thief, not a 'hurting people' type villain, plus a running theme is that she's mentally healthier and happier than her superhero nemesis. And as a supervillain, she's aware of certain dirty little superhero secrets the public isn't.
Does your original character believe that they are a good person? Is their assessment of themselves correct? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY
#FantasyIndiesAugust 11 Bonnie wants a big party, a bigger cake, and a night out on the town. She has to fight the opposing urges of wanting to be surprised and being nosy because she just can't wait. #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky

Given that Bonnie is a C-tier supervillain, her making the front page probably means trouble. Not a one of her supervillain friends is surprised.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters You wake up this morning to find your characters splashed all over the news! What's the headline? What have they done? Is this going to be a problem? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Depends on the story. With the Burning Veil, I knew exactly how I wanted it to end from the start. Then changed that while writing the first drafts. For Almost Criminal, I only have a vague idea of how it'll end and it's gonna take a long time to get there.
At what point do you usually know the ending to your WIP? If I donโt know the ending or something close to it from the beginning, I canโt get started #writingq #WritingCommunity
Might as well post it here! A magical girl animation I've been slowly chipping at over the weekends for ages.
#FantasyIndiesAugust 10 My last read was A Girl's Gotta Eat by local author Elizabeth Blackson. Check it out & help an indie author: www.amazon.com/-/he/Elizabe... Just keeping up with a few web novels at the moment. Not sure what I'll go for next, maybe the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks.

Well, Bonnie's quite practiced at stage magic. I wouldn't mind learning some magic tricks for parties and such.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Today you are getting an exciting opportunity! You get to have a lesson from your characters on any subject you choose! What would you want to learn from them? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Time to put a dent in the pile of unbuilt Gunpla in my corner. While starting to rewatch one of the gayest entries of the franchise (my beloved).
Bonnie uses her portal power to put it somewhere in the middle of the Pacific

#FantasyIndiesAugust 9 There are a few dream sequences in The Burning Veil. Undecided if any will show up in Almost Criminal at all ever, but so far no. My own dreams are usually uneventful, I'll just be shopping for groceries or something, so no. #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky
