--How does your most recent POV character react to praise?

Oh dear, Clark isn't keen on it at all, to be honest! It makes him uncomfortable and he's likely to fly off just to avoid it. Bruce is much the same, actually--a lot of him disappearing on Jim Gordon is being eager to avoid any awkward compliments for things he feels like he probably didn't do quickly enough anyway ("Praise for catching a serial killer after 7 victims instead of after 5 is extremely inappropriate.") I may be projecting a lot there, though, as praise is extremely difficult for me and I can't imagine taking it well!

I hope all is well with you and you're safe and productive and have much to be thankful for this week!

Oh, wow, this is a tough one. My recent character actually get praised when he doesn't want to be and on the other hand doesn't receive credit for a lot of things he actually does and likes about himself. So praise is always a bit of a two edged sword for him!

It's been a wild few months. I feel like most people had a wild year of one ind or another though, but it's been WILD. Productivity peaked around Yuletide though and it feels like the creative interests are coming back ten fold!
