Z

Zoreth – member of the 10th Wing of Aerland on patrol in the Canyonlands, griffin partner to Yadira, trained with Klyan the Bold (Klyan’s father) as a young griffin

And, this just in, I had a sneak peek at the cover art for Champion in Flight last night, and I'm so excited I decided to offer Champion in the Darkness for 99 cents for kindle for today and tomorrow!
 
World Building Thought/Question: Does your world have any zany or zealous characters?
 
And yes, I ran out of ideas here, but started thinking it might be fun to throw a zealously zany and zestful character into my next story - a sidekick who zealously wants to be the mc? I have no idea. It's the end of A to Z, and I'm signing off until next Wednesday's IWSG. I hope you all had a great month.
Congrats if you finished A to Z!!!

X
Wait, I don't have any "x" names!!!

World Building Thought/Question: Does your world have any xenophobic characters?

Ok, ok, so I looked up x words and came up with that.

Hmm - ok, here's a better question:

Does your book have an "x" that marks the spot kind of place? A special place that has meaning for your characters?

V

Valeriy – Ambassador from Aerland, human

Valterra – capital of Aerland

Veness – a member of the Dark Sisterhood Coven, and care-taker of the nagi

World Building Thought/Question: Through what view will the reader see your world? The villain's view? The hero's view? The hero's best friend's view? (Holmes and Watson are an example of this last one)

Do You Have Goals Check-In: Just a quick check-in this month from me. This month's progress: nearly nil. I'm completely caught up in life with school work (teaching, and more teaching), and family events (Vacation at Whistler, Paddler's Cup for my youngest, a driver's permit for my oldest, and a niece's Wedding). I think by this time this airs (pre-posting), I'll be in final format mode for Champion in Flight . . . I hope. I'm far behind my goals for CiF and it's driving me nuts.
