Meet the Quire · No. 2
Plumelings
Grown from the feathers of quills that wrote finished books.
✦
Their job
Plumelings keep you writing. They never touch the pen. A Plumeling stands just ahead of your words and points at the empty space where the next one goes. Most of the time, that's enough.
What they love
- The scratch of a pen that's going fast
- Ink that's still wet
- A page with only one sentence on it (it's a start)
- The words "The End"
What they can't stand
Waiting until it's perfect. (It doesn't have to be good yet. It just has to be there.)
A secret
A Plumeling's crest is a feather from the quill that wrote the last line of a finished book. Theirs curls a little tighter with every chapter you finish.
