  π16 Our next featured creator is a baker. Describe a baked good you enjoy. I try not to eat baked goods often anymore because of my blood sugar, but probably the hardest to resist is a chocolate chip cookie, firm around the edges and chewy in the middle, with a balanced chip to cookie ratio. #ScribesAndMakers

  Last call for Talk To Me Day featured creators. After this month, we have one person who will be featured in August, and then we plan to retire it unless anyone else is interested. PM @gahlearner@sunny.garden @willelm@indieauthors.social or @saposcat@indieauthors.social if you would like to be featured. #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD

  π3 We have some new people in the community. Re/Introduce yourself and tell us about your creative work. Walter Thinman is a pen name for my creative work, which includes running this hashtag with help from @gahlearner@sunny.garden and @willelm@indieauthors.social , a self-published novel out in the world (I'm doing a giveaway this month if you're interested https://indieauthors.social/@saposcat/116844555289716563), a to-be-self-published novel in the works with contributions from @john...

  @ElyseMGrasso What was your inspiration for the Elderkin? #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD

  № 29 Our next featured creator has done creative work with math(s). Does math(s) ever feature in any way in your creative work? I have taken inspiration from Fermat's Last Theorem, but not the mathematical part of it. I can't think of anything else. #ScribesAndMakers

  #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD @QuasiTemporal For your epsilon project, do you have a core of readers who vote regularly? Are there unexpected challenges to collaborating with your readers?

  @SuzyShearer@mastodon.au did the dream reveal the killer, or did you have to figure that out in your writing process?

  № 4 How many songs are there where you know all the lyrics by heart? Honestly, not that many. Mostly songs that don't have many words. I usually know some but not all of the words to songs I like. #ScribesAndMakers

  № 3 When you see the word 'read', is your first instinct to read it as present tense or past tense? Present tense, for sure. I'm not the biggest fan of words I have to know the context before I know how to pronounce it. #ScribesAndMakers

  ∆ 29. Someone else promotion day. Tell us about someone else's work. Let's boost away. Once I finish up my current book I'm jumping into the world of Ontyre with Trust in the Forgotten by @CA_Hawthorne You can learn more about her books on her website. https://christinahawthorne.wordpress.com/ #ScribesAndMakers

  ∆ 25. Our featured creator does "a bit of educational activism on the side." Do you do any activism through your creative work? I often work issues that are meaningful to me into the story, but I don't think of it as activism. I think of my writing as more likely to connect with people who share my views than change minds, but I'd certainly be happy if someone changed their views because of something I wrote. #ScribesAndMakers

  ∆ 19. Have you ever been to a poetry reading? I think I went to a few in college, and many years ago I went to see Nikki Giovanni, but I don't think I've been to one since. #ScribesAndMakers

  ∆ 10. Our next featured creator writes Science Fiction. What's a feature of Science Fiction that you find interesting? Space is vast, and the idea of exploring it, and that there might be other life somewhere in that vastness, is very intriguing. It's also very interesting to see how people approach solving the problem of traversing that vastness. #ScribesAndMakers

  @art_of_goulwenr@mastodon.art @gahlearner@sunny.garden @grahamefleming@c.im @ElisesWritings@wandering.shop @willelm@indieauthors.social do I get a Scooby snack for finding the answer? 😆

  @gahlearner@sunny.garden @grahamefleming@c.im @art_of_goulwenr@mastodon.art @ElisesWritings@wandering.shop @willelm@indieauthors.social full text of question: "Just for fun, share a 5 minute sketch of your MC. Stick people are fine."

  @johnyNocash@indiepocalypse.social and who knows, maybe my comment will lead to people reading the blog, and then going on to buy the book(s). Or maybe it will effectively render the whole post invisible and no one will know your blog or your book exist. Let's hope for the former...

• Post #1028094

  @johnyNocash@indiepocalypse.social some potential future prompt fodder in there. Like who's directing the movie adaptation of your book, and have you recorded an original soundtrack for it yet? I've often seen the question what actors will star in your film (or television) adaptation, but less often who will direct it. And often which pre-existing songs will be in the soundtrack, but I don't know that I've ever seen have you recorded your own.

  @gahlearner@sunny.garden @SJHoodlet@writing.exchange I think that could definitely be fun. I could also imagine something like the old HHGTTG style text based game.

  @johnyNocash@indiepocalypse.social very impressive!

  @paranoiapen@mas.to okay, that makes sense. On first read they all sound like creative activities, but I definitely see where you're coming from.

• Post #881083

  @paranoiapen@mas.to what about knitting, sewing, and fiddle playing feels less creative to you?

  •30 Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example. Here is an excerpt from The Night Plummer & The Mockemortician A plump waterfowl sashayed over to B'Link, shaking its rump while staring at her fish with covetous eyes. "Go away, it's not for you," B'Link said, but she left a tiny bite on the leaf when she stood up to leave. The fowl lunged at it, but from above another bird dropped whatever it had been carrying in its mouth and swooped i...

  @SuzyShearer@mastodon.au I think your bbq is what we call a grill. A griddle is mostly used for breakfasty foods.

  28. Do you ever sacrifice blunt clarity for prose that flows well? Yes, that's my tendency. On occasion I might sacrifice flow for clarity, but most of the time I go with what I think flows well. #WritersCoffeeClub
