Muse Food – Boxing Day
Today is Boxing Day in my corner of the world. Historically, Boxing Day was a day to box up leftovers and small gifts to give to charity.
One of the (many) things I consider when building a world is…
How do the beings in that world carry their stuff?
We all have stuff. A warrior has weapons. A medic has medical supplies. A chef has cooking supplies and equipment.
How do they carry that stuff? Do they have wooden crates or cardboard boxes or leather packs or holsters or pockets or…?
It should be practical. The material should, ideally, be abundant on their planet. And it should reflect who the being is or hopes to be.

Intrepid Encounter
Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.
Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.
That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.
The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She’s the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her touch produces a passion he struggles to control.
But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.
Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of her Valkyrie sisters, and she’ll do anything to retrieve it.
That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant-blue eyes and grimly set lips.
The male might…just might…have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough handling, his punishing embrace, his stern words.
But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her fellow Valkyries from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.
Intrepid Encounter is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a protective cyborg, a vengeful Valkyrie, and a destiny neither of them can predict.

Muse Food – Clocks And Making Things Up
I told a new-to-me person I was a writer.
His lips twisted. And he said, “Oh. You just make sh*t up.”
Yes. That’s what I do. I make sh*t up.
But almost everything in our modern lives is made up sh*t.
Sunsets and sunrises, for example, are real. We see those happen. Animals and birds and other living beings experience them also.
8:00 am or 7:00 pm? That’s made up sh*t. Those time references were created to make life easier for us humans. We can tell friends, “Meet at the pub at 5:00 pm.” And they’ll know when they’re expected to be there. We don’t have to look at the placement of the sun or stars to figure that out.
Cars, money, our jobs, what our homes look like, the clothes we wear, our governments and almost everything around us is made up sh*t.
It is all world building in real time. Millions of people over thousands of years built our worlds here on Earth by making sh*t up.
My reply to the person who told me I just made sh*t up?
“Everyone makes sh*t up. They merely don’t realize it.”

Muse Food – Brightly Colored Birds And What We Notice
There were a gazillion birds all around us when the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I last visited Curacao. It was magical. That was how many there were.
But, although he was hidden in the trees, we noticed this Venezuelan troupial right away.
Why?
Because of his brightly-colored chest. He stood out.
When I’m describing places or beings or other entities in my stories, I ask myself, “Why do they stand out? Why would another being notice them?” And THAT is what I ensure I include in my description.

Muse Food – The Resources Characters Have
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were trekking around Saint Lucia when we spotted this collection of plastic bottles in the water.
An innovative fisherperson had designed a float from empty plastic bottles, a ‘resource’ everyone on Earth now has in abundance.
We use the resources we have. I try to remember that when building a world or crafting a scene.
If the character is surrounded by trees, they’ll likely craft their home out of wood, for example. If they’re a warrior, they’d likely pry an object out of a rock with their dagger, a tool they already have. If their food rations come in containers, they’d likely use those empty containers to store their gear.
We use what we have if that is all possible. That is true on Earth. And it is true in stories.

Muse Food – Unexpected Beauty
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I looked along an alleyway in Philipsburg, St. Maarten and we saw this.
It was a beautiful sight and I believe it was made more beautiful because it was so unexpected. It was a surprise green oasis in the midst of buildings and pavement.
I try to create similar moments in my stories. Perhaps there’s some humor in the middle of a battle scene. Or there’s an unexpected touch during a formal event. Or the hero is planning a mission and then, out of nowhere, notices how the heroine’s hair captures the light.
Those moments are often more magical because they are unexpected.

Muse Food – Squirrels And Places In EcoSystems
Squirrels seem like cute little critters with no real purpose.
But their appearances are deceiving. They help trees, for example, reproduce by spreading their nuts and seeds. Many of the nuts and seeds squirrels bury in our lawns are never uncovered and eaten. They’re…planted. Permanently. And if conditions are right, they’ll grow into baby trees.
If squirrels didn’t plant them, something else would have to do that task. Or trees would go extinct.
I think about that whenever I build a world. Who or what will complete necessary tasks (like, as another example, breaking down dead materials)?

Muse Food – Framing And Trees
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were trekking around Sitka National Historical Park in Alaska and we saw this gap in a tree trunk.
It isn’t very interesting, is it?
But look at it with the framing.
THAT is something different, special, exciting.
Framing is very important for images and it is also very important for stories. The most mundane scene can be thrilling if it is framed properly. The scenes before and after it can add tremendous emotion.

Muse Food – Haunted Houses And The Importance Of Stories
When the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I travel, one of the pieces of research I love to do is learn about all the haunted houses and other ghostly visitors in the location.
Almost all old houses have been the site of at least one human death. Heck, EVERYWHERE on this planet has been the site of a human death. And if you believe spirits linger where they’ve died, well…then everywhere is haunted.
The difference between a historic house and a haunted house is the story. A haunted house has an awesomely spooky ghost story attached to it.
And that story makes the historic house special.
THAT is the power of a great story.

Muse Food – Fighting The Flow
The Dear Wonderful Hubby took this photo in Ketchikan, Alaska.
As implied by the salmon statue, the salmon swim upstream, navigating the rapids in order to reach their spawning grounds. This takes a LOT of effort, almost a miraculous amount of it. They’re fighting gravity and they’re literally swimming against the stream.
I remember that when I’m fighting a story, when I’m trying to force it where I want it to go. It is much easier to ‘swim with the stream’ and follow the story where it naturally leads.
I often find that results in a better story also!

Muse Food – Niagara Falls And Perspective
Perspective and point of view is a powerful tool.
Here is an image of Niagara Falls.
It doesn’t look very impressive, does it? It looks like anyone could safely go over the falls in a barrel.
Here is an image of Niagara Falls taken from a different perspective.
This image of Niagara Falls shows more of its strength. We can clearly see why going over this falls in a barrel is a bad and often deadly idea. It is a force to be respected.
This is the power of perspective. It can save lives…and create a much more interesting story.
