#PennedPossibilities 1004 — If they have any, tell us about your MC’s philosophical beliefs.Ooooh, let’s get down to the nitty gritty with this one. Philosophical beliefs are guiding principles or worldviews that shape how individuals understand reality, morality, and existence. I’ve never really thought about this in reference to this specific WIP of mine, but it felt so easy once I sat down and really delved deeply into my answer for the prompt.Alistair: • Socratic Method: Developed by Socrates, this belief emphasizes questioning assumptions and engaging in dialogue to seek truth, fostering critical thinking rather than accepting ideas at face value. • Introspection: The practice of examining one’s own mind and beliefs to gain self-knowledge and understanding. (All Alistair ever does is think, think, and think some more.)The thing about Fenella is that I can’t quite pin her or explain her beliefs. The only thing that comes to mind is “Justice for Women” because of everything she’s done in her life, considering how she’s helped women steadily for nearly a decade. She dedicated her life to the cause. Not to be forgotten, this is also the tail end of the Victorian era. That plays a major role in all this. It matters a great deal. Times were different. The days were much harder back then, even for vampires. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves
