When ‘satire’ was selected as our genre, Robert said he was just relieved it wasn’t romance, which is how I got to the idea of a werewolf breakup. I like the idea of a regular apartment building inhabited by both regular mortals and monsters, in a sort of uneasy truce – I’m adding that to my idea list for a later date! For now, I hope you enjoy the drama of Rodrick and Helen.

This week’s prompts were fun:

  • Character: Werewolf
  • Object: Packing tape
  • Genre/Tone: Satire

The plot for this one came pretty quickly to me, but as soon as I started writing it sprawled out of control with too many characters and not enough theme to hold them all together. Also, I’m not sure a single Beatles pun counts as “satire”. But it was exciting as I wrote, trying to cram everything I was thinking into words on the page. It just needs a lot of work before it’s properly readable. That’s how first drafts usually work: there’s something good or fun in it, but it takes work to communicate that to the reader.
