November #CharactersHell

Hi there!

Our November game board is here!

The daily prompts always post at 12:05AM ET, on Twitter. Catch my feed if you missed one.

Anyone who reads this post will get the question/tweets in writing, too. Right here, in one place, no waiting for day of posting to understand our questions. Especially for a NaNoWriMo writer, so you can schedule posts and write on without distractions.

A month of Food, Love, and the sin of Pride await us all…

Gameboard by @M_Arbanassi and @LadyofMind721 on Twitter.

The Underworld (Week 1)  #UnderWorldWeek

1- Intro your WIP with Antag prideful boasting! Because you know they want to tell us all about themselves, or their plans.

2- Some places are known for being birthplaces. Others are famous makers, or even world record holders. Any city pride of a food item?

3- Is your WIP world a food travel destination? Do people travel to your current location for food markets or fests?

4- Not all travel is about food. Sometimes it’s about a city of love. What about a romantic destination?

5- Main animal most eaten in your WIP? Who are we kidding? In November we talk a lot of food. Hope you’re prepared to keep thinking about eating…

6- Oh, and the safety of drinking too! How’s the drinking water in your world?

7- #TBT 28/11 #CharactersTell asked: Does your world have incentives or deterrents for having families?


Relationship Hell (Week 2) #RelationshipHellWeek

8- It’s another week, so we’re back to love relationships with a simple starter. Anyone love the fool?

9- How many love classic combos? Of what? Peanut butter and jelly. Pie with ice cream. Chocolate and fruit. There are just some classic food pairings that everyone knows.

10- Yesterday we asked about classic pairings. What are some of the other kinds? What strange combos do they love?

11- Who’s pride gets in the way of relationships? Having the sin of #pride can be good for some things, like confidence. But what gets someone’s attention may also annoy them later on…

12- Let’s be honest. Love isn’t just between people anymore, especially in some Fantasy worlds. Is there love for inanimate objects?

13- Anyone admire someone else’s confidence or pride? As the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence… that may even include someone else’s strengths.

14- #TBT 20/11 #CharactersTell asked: Is your family progressive or conservative?


Obscene Spoilers (Week 3)  #ObsceneSpoilersWeek

15- Does anyone take pride in their cooking? After all, it is an art form to be proud of if it is a passion.

16- Chocolate or chilis? Candies or hot sauce? Who falls where on the sweet vs spicy debate?

17- Any food allergies among your characters? Preferences are one thing. Reactions to food can limit a character’s range of meals, especially if the allergy is strong enough to cause major health issues.

18- We know spicy v sweet, and if there are allergies. What about foods characters hate?

19- Any markings worn with pride by a char? Tattoos, scars, birthmarks. Some hide these things, others put them front and center.

20- Today we show side characters some love! What’s a Side Character’s favorite food?

21- #TBT 9/11 #CharactersTell asked: Have you ever ran away from home? Here in hell, we don’t ask about a specific character, so that all characters have a chance to come up and answer for themselves.


Possession Week (Week 4)   #PosessionWeek

22- From this point forward- your fine dining char? Now gets peasant bread & cheese portions. Or the other way- Your scavenged meal char feasts daily! How long until they’re sick of it? What happens when they are? What caused the situation swap?

23- Mealtime conversation snapshot! Some holiday seasons are all about the food and chatter. Tell us a bit about your characters sit down meal time conversations!

24- Since food is one of our themes, it should have a moment of pride too… Food saves the Day! How?

25- Your WIP is full of pictures in words. Say someone takes a photo in your story! What is it of? Why did they take it? Describe a snapshot!

26- A character develops an Obsessive Compulsive Behavior! What and why? A throw back to one of our old Hell questions… Twisted for Possession week of course.

27- Since we’re pre Thanksgiving in the USA, and it’s Hump Day here in Hell, what better way to mess with your characters than to terrify them with a food item! A food item becomes a fear for a character! It’s true #HumpDayHell in #PossessionWeek

28- #TBT 4/11 #CharactersTell asked: Does a family have a business? Are you going to work there? We’re using this as a call to action scene! Show us your character accepting/denying the family business life expected of them! Happy Thanksgiving!


Random Author Torture (Extra Days)   #RandomAuthorDays

29- What it says on the tin! #FollowFriday! Who’s stories do you want to read based on this month’s answers?

30- Did you participate in NaNoWriMo? #NaNoWriMo ends today. Did you participate or do your own writing goals?

Hope to see you all in Hell with me!
