Characters in QT Tag

Picture not mine--credit to the original owner!

I was planning on doing a tag that I had pirated this month, but then the lovely Sarah Rodecker tagged me for this one, which has been going around the blogosphere like the virus that necessitates it, and looks like a lot of fun!

So apparently there are no rules for this tag (because it's unofficial...) but basically I'm supposed to take some of the characters from one of my WIPs and tell y'all what they're doing in quarantine! Since my cowriting project is only a couple of chapters long (look, I had finals), I decided to use the babies characters from one of my oldest and longest WIPs which I haven't touched in months and doesn't even have a name which I'm planning on working on again this summer!

Jacob: Started homeschooling Rose the first day of QT, ignoring her protests that he was her brother, not her parents, and that she wasn't even in school yet. Is paranoid that someone he loves is going to get sick, and so has hired someone to bring them groceries and supplies, and is not letting Rose or Adam leave the property, and barely letting them leave the house. Won't even let Leah in. Reads the news every day in hope that the curve is flattening, but doesn't see much hope for the summer. 

Leah: Is aggressively taking online community college classes and studying for several hours a day. Is also teaching herself two foreign languages. In her free time, she drops supplies off to people who need them in a singularly grumpy fashion. Still goes out to the grocery store on a regular basis, but isn't trying any harder than usual to connect with friends (so, she's not seeing anyone). Her social media is full of selfies with her lizard. 

Mira: Has Zoom, Skype and FaceTime calls with friends for hours a day, not to mention the text exchanges, and time on an actual phone. Is loving the extra time with her seven brothers, although they drive her nuts when they horn in on her calls. Keeps trying to reach Leah, but she's ignoring her. (In the nicest way possible, of course). Is enjoying watching cute animals on YouTube between calls, and OF COURSE she's not spending too much time on the computer, why would you think that.

May: Is sewing masks for essential workers as fast as her needle can go, while simultaneously Skype-ing with Mira. Goes and waves to seniors in five different senior homes every day. 

Believes all of the articles that say that Antifa has taken over Seattle. 

Rose: Gets through with homeschool as fast as possible so she can go outside with Adam. Keeps bugging Jacob to let her get out of the house, and generally getting on his nerves. Once Jacob has given her his firm 'no' on going somewhere (for that day), she starts bugging him to let her get an Instagram. 

Wow, this was both easier AND more fun than I expected...and it may have given me some character insights? Thanks, Sarah!

I'm going to tag people, since that seems to be The Done Thing:

Faith @ The Florid Sword (Pleeeease do this with The Pentegreens!)

Hamlette @ Hamlette's Soliloquy (I mostly follow her other blog, but this seems to be her tag/update/articles blog, and I would love to see her do this with any of her books, published or otherwise!)

Bethany @ Scribbled Fiction (Because I NEED TO KNOW what Wick and Archer are doing in QT)

Who are you most like? Do you have a writing project that you've put aside and 'let sit' for too long? *cough*
