Muse Food – Capybaras And Being Watched
When we’re writing, we tend to focus on the main characters – what they are doing, how they are feeling, their plans, their desires, etc.
Other characters in our stories might be doing the same. THEY might be focused on our main characters. And these other characters could be nameless. They could be strangers in a crowd.
But these nameless characters can still influence the plot. Maybe they post a photo on social media that shows the main character in the background. The big baddie is monitoring all social media sites. He sees the main character in this random photo and knows exactly where they are.
Who is watching your main characters?

Bridgerton – Season 3 – And Subplots
Spoiler Alert – This post will talk about Season 3 of Bridgerton, Colin and Penelope’s romance, and it WILL contain spoilers. If you haven’t yet watched this season of the limited series based on the novels by Julia Quinn, you might wish to skip this post.
I delayed watching Season 3 of Bridgerton because…well…I don’t like Penelope’s character. I didn’t like her in the books and, after watching the season, I still don’t like the less mean TV version of her.
I don’t like gossips. I don’t like mean people (or characters). And I really don’t like people who betray their friends and family for any reason, frankly, but especially not for money.
That said, I enjoyed Season 3 of Bridgerton.
Why?
Because I greatly enjoyed the subplots.
I loved, loved, LOVED Francesca’s romance. I thought it was sweet and romantic and unique. It was magical.
I enjoyed Benedict’s exploration of his sexuality.
And Momma Bridgerton’s unexpected flirtation. And hearing more of Lady Danbury’s backstory.
For me, the subplots were the REASON to watch the third season.
And that is often the role of subplots. Yes, they should tie into the main romance. But they give readers, who might not like that main romance, a reason to continue reading the story and the series.
With me, with Bridgerton Season 3, this worked!

Muse Food – Who Is Watching?
We saw these two little ‘guys’ intently watching some action on the pier.

Who is watching your hero’s or heroine’s actions? Why are they watching? What will these observers do with the information they gain? How will being watched change your character’s future?
