[TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING]
Hi everybody! I'm Joey Paul and I'm an indie author. And today
we're gonna be doing a tag. It's a tag that I've made up with my friend Dal Cecil Runo,
whose channel I will link below. It's basically the winter tag. It's all about winter, and
your works in progress and all of that fun stuff. All the questions for which will be
down in the description, if you wanna do the tag yourself. So here we go. Here are the
rules. You can give a short synopsis of your current work in progress, and you can use
each character up to three times. The Dying Thoughts series follows Tara who has a psychic
gift, and the ability to see the last moments of someone's life when she touches something
that used to belong to them. Seventh Death is the seventh book in the series and deals
with Tara's Dad, Colin going back to his music career, going on tour and his life being threatened.
Can Tara put the pieces together before it's too late? And what about Mike? Why is he so
reluctant to help? So that's my synopsis and on with the questions. ICE: Which of your
characters are likely to slip and slide? So I'm gonna say Nate. Nate is Tara's kind of
boyfriend, and he is gonna be trying to be suave and delightful but all I can see is
him slipping and falling on his backside. SNOW: Which of your characters will be the
first out there to build a snowman? Lilly. Lilly is Tara's college friend. She has a
brittle bone condition, so she's been wrapped in cotton wool by her parents, but given the
chance she would be out there building the biggest snowman she could manage. FIREPLACE:
Who likes to snuggle up with a book and a warm fire? This would be Tara. She's not one
for the outdoors, and she could very much enjoy her time in front of a fire with a god
book ignoring all of the cold. HOT CHOCOLATE: Who takes charge of what to do on a cold day?
That would be Colin, he's Tara's dad, but if anyone else is around, he'll happily tell
them how to spend their days. Like doing schoolwork or reading a book, or doing something that
he would consider adventurous but is actually kinda boring. SNOWFLAKES: Who doesn't mind
the cold, and who would prefer to live on a tropical island far away from it? That would
be Evelyn and Gareth. Evelyn is one of Tara's college friends. Gareth is Kaolin's, Tara's
best friend, boyfriend. So Evelyn doesn't mind the cold and she's happy for it considering
the time of year. But Gareth? He's more happy to live in the sun despite his girlfriend
being very happy with the holidays HOLIDAY SWEATERS: Who would wear the most ridiculous
holiday sweater? That would be Colin again, but probably because it was a gift from his
wife, Megan, Tara's mother who died many years ago. So it's a nostalgia thing for him. PRESENTS:
Who gives the most thoughtful gifts? Kaolin. She's Tara's best friend and she's always
been someone to really, really think about the kind of thing that she wants to give someone.
And she definitely wants everyone's presents to be perfect. BAH HUMBUG: Who doesn't celebrate
or get into the season and why? This would be Jen, she's another of Tara's college friends.
And it's not that she doesn't like winter and the holidays that go with it. She's just
not a fan of the mass buying, and the cold, and the snow. She's much rather spend the
time curled up in bed, being toasty warm and not having to deal with family and everything
that goes with it. YULE: Which two are most alike, but wouldn't agree with you saying
so? Nate and Kaolin. As I said, Nate is Tara's boyfriend, Kaolin is Tara's best friend. They
both love Tara to some degree, but I'm not sure they'd appreciate being put in that position
of being most alike. They'd both like to think that they're different from each other. MOTHER
IGGY: Who would be the mother figure, the wise mentor or just the mamafriend in your
story and why? That would be Kaolin again. I think it's just simply the kind of person
she is. But also because she wants to make sure that everyone is okay, even if she's
not. She likes to be looking after people even if no one's looking after her. MISTLETOE:
Who is a double-edged sword type of character? Healing to some and poisonous to others? That
would be Colin. I say this because a lot of people can't decide if he's a good guy or
a bad guy. Tara would say he's mostly good, yet there are some things coming into light
in the story that change her perspective of that. Other people would say that he's not
exactly father of the year, so he's not really a good guy. LONGEST NIGHT: Which character
is most likely to withstand all the downs of an antagonist force and still keep hope
for the brighter days? I would say Kaolin but I can't. So I'm gonna say Tara. While
she doesn't always keep hope, she does keep fighting and getting back up again. She's
very happy to stand in front of anyone to make sure they stay safe and she has been
through the wars herself. I think she'd be the one withstanding and keeping hope. And
the final question is, NORTHERN LIGHTS: Which character is the colourful spirit who lights
up everyone else during the dark and longer nights? And that would be Kaolin which is
why I couldn't say her for the last one. [laughs] She would be the bright star of anybody's
day, and she'd make it her job to look after everybody else. She would make sure that everybody
else had exactly what they needed, and she'd just be this bright star on the day. So that's
the winter tag. I'm gonna tag some people, and that is Brooke Passmore, Write Holly Davis
and Kim Chance. All of their channels are linked below. If you feel like you want to
do this tag, please, please feel free to do it. You don't have to do it on youtube, you
can do it on a blog as well. And please do check out Dal's video as well because it's
gonna be awesome. So that's all I have time for today. If you wanna support my channel,
you can comment or subscribe. I post new videos on Thursdays. You can find me all over social
