Claudia rolled her eyes and frowned at the statement. “Maybe I like the blood there, unless you want to remove it for me?” She smirked.
Lestat pondered this response for a moment, withdrawing the handkerchief back into his coat pocket. “Well… it’s gruesome, but it’s certainly a boldly artistic statement, ma cherie.”
Harriet is the most understanding being I have ever had the pleasure to know. She’s perfectly understanding of my requirement for distance at times, followed by her presence upon my lap when it is wanted. She also “gets” my humor.

#Claudia wipe your mouth dearest
My favorite random question from my mother while watching a movie was the time I was watching Interview with the Vampire for the millionth time and like, it was the scene where Lestat is at mortal Louis’ bed with his choice I never had shit and she was just like, “are they going to have gay sex”
I’ve watched it a million times and am always disappointed that they don’t have gay sex.
I say a lot of stuff about writing and 90% of it is for my own benefit. I’m still learning. Higher stakes and plot are two of the things I still have a lot of trouble with. I’m learning and getting better, but sometimes I have to remind myself that there need to be stakes for your protagonist and characters or no one is going to care. A lot of my older stories lack high stakes or if the stakes are there, they aren’t made clear to the reader. So it’s something I have to be vigilant about. Character studies are great but they need something to pull them along into story.
Also stakes are good to have on hand in case of vampire attack, so…
‘Stakes’ no longer looks like a real word.
