Well now... Not as bad as expected, but not as good as hoped for... the waiting/negotiating game begins... Why does any local council expect anyone to establish a club for the general public to use, when it is the council's remit (isn't it?) to provide facilities for the community. Politicians? Pfffttt!!!! (and other less polite expressions).

#WordWeavers May12 - What role does romantic love play in your story?

Only whatever is appropriate to the relationships involved. Not airy-fairy, nor is it cold and platonic, it is whatever is appropriate to the interested (or disinterested) parties.

Is it just me?

Do "producers" of art forms, not realise that whereas in the time before corporate enshittification, the audience followed those artists/art forms to media platforms, now the situation has changed?

Much of their audience/potential audience has moved away from mainstream social media to places such as this (MASTODON) to AVOID the enshittification foisted on us by the corporations.

I want to vote for an artist, but can't because - FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM... so, whatever... 🤷‍♂️

#WSS366 May 12th #purple

Velveteen purple and red robes, and a crown create the impression of royalty for all to see.

But for those who dare look down there is the truth of the gaunt, starved, neglected, abused bodies covered with the black, blue, purple, and yellow patches produced by the countless beatings of the downtrodden.

Fortunately, crowns will topple and fall... with the right persuasion. All we must do is look to the French of 1793 and their monarch.

#WSS366 May 10th #Mother

"Necessity is the Mother of Invention and you, wonderful person that you are, are causing the presence of that necessity.
Trust me when I say I can be quite inventive on the horror front when the mood takes me, and you have put me, amongst so many others, in that mood.
I have such a show lined up for you Donny... it's a family oriented presentation, and it'll start with the termination of your lineage.
What?
Wait. Let me remove the gag..."

Have you ever taken inspiration from something which could have but didn't happen?

Kind of...

One of the Beagle missions to Mars "disappeared" - which I attributed to the intervention of inter-dimensional entities in "The Awakening" - subsequently reading that it had suffered a "catastrophic failure" of some sort...

#SmallStories #Series 1

Heavy footfalls close behind, spurred him to greater speed.
Sharp left.
Across a small square.
Into a narrow alley.
His pursuers slowly lost ground.
Into an abandoned house, through empty rooms.
Out of one building and into another, and another.
Then… nowhere.
The escape route ended abruptly.
Eyes frantically searched for options, but other than a fist-sized hole in the wall to his right, there was no other way to get past that final barrier into friendly territory.

I've just completed a thread (23 parts - 1739 words - 9735 characters) to produce a short story - privately viewed by @JeanieBurrell@mstdn.social - who suggested that I might want to share it. Hence the thunks leading to the question. Maybe I'll serialise it - one toot per day.

@WataruTenkawa_1 OTHER: as in there has been no single thing that has been the greatest experience in life. So many things on the list apply and things like "the inordinate amount of luck" required to find your soul mate (who happened to be half a world away), to find a "home" in a new town where friends are worthy of such titles, to live in a locale that satisfies virtually all the requirements for a healthy, happy life have been overlooked.

#ScribesAndMakers 27Mar—What's a book that made you see the world differently? How?

Animal Farm - It opened my eyes to the existence of such foul behaviours (which are so very evident these days) in human beings.

1984 - Current media behaviour? Oh, YES!

#ScribesAndMakers 26 Do you dance or move along to music when you listen?

It has been known to occur at any time, and in any place... though generally I do not inflict my enthusiasm for the music on others.

It is usually used as a background to my writing (formal and authoring) and hobbies. But not my sport!

26th Mar 2026. How much of a break or hiatus do you take between works?

🤔 Break? Not so much... Hiatus... it varies, depending on the willingness of the muse.

Sometimes the muse's enthusiasm level is so high there is no break. (Three novellas in 45 days!)

But they are currently A.W.O.L. and have been for far too many months!

#ScribesAndMakers Mar 25. Do you use music as a storytelling tool? Give an example.

Not as such... but...

I found inspiration in a couple of tracks that tied in nicely with "Dark Path".

"The Chain" - Fleetwood Mac - matched the desperation of one who loved the protagonist deeply, but that love was not returned, rather it was usurped by the protagonist's affliction.

"Towards the Sun" - Rihanna - matched the sort of advice given to the protagonist when they learning about their condition.

Replying to @SJHoodlet@writing.exchange
@SJHoodlet@writing.exchange Not good at marketing, but... when I was publishing a series, I progressed slowly, book-by-book expecting each book to take around 3 months to complete. It worked quite well (at least on Kindle) until I finished the last three in 45 days... then I screwed up by being all impatient and publishing the remaining books in one go! Whatever you decide - be way more patient than I was!

#ScribesAndMakers March 13. How do you feel about short fiction? Do you read short stories as often as novels?

Short fiction is simply another form of story telling - I've practiced the art of producing 50 word stories, single-sentence tales, etc. It's worth trying/playing with to enhance the ability to keep your writing concise.

As for reading - I used to read collections/anthologies and generally enjoyed those that were most effective in taking me to another time/place.

#PennedPossibilities 953. What author(s) did you dislike at first but grew to enjoy reading?

🤔 If I disliked them, it is highly unlikely that I would go back and read them with even the slightest intention of offering them the opportunity for redemption.

Besides, in all likelihood, I've consigned them to the abyss of obscurity, never to return.

#WritersCoffeeClub 10Mar—How informal is your prose? Is there a limit to informality?

Context determines whether my prose takes itself seriously, or not...

A less rigid format is most commonly used as it seems to be a relatively easy read, but there are times when a more formal style is appropriate.

#WritersCoffeeClub 9/3: Do you prefer to write complex, intricate plots, or more straightforward ones?

A preference? 🤔 Nope. I always blame the muse for what happens - complex, straightforward, crazy, sane, silly, deadly serious... it happens when it happens.

#PennedPossibilities How do you use social media as an author?

As an author? I don't.

I use Mastodon to "socialise" in a minimalistic fashion... (otherwise self-sufficient on the socialising front)...

Sometimes I use it to have a rant about the shit state of the world, the oligarchs, the tech bros, the bullshitters in general and the total lack of accountability built into systems of governance.

Otherwise... **crickets** disturbed by a whisper of "the rest is a social tedium".

#carnival #europe #trump

Not a fan of insta, or YouTube... but...

I wonder if the Orange Egomaniac is being shown videos of the carnivals in Europe (YouTube/Instagram)...

He won't like them - unless, no wait, his ego will interpret them as praise! (right?).

This is just one of many...

#ScribesAndMakers Is there a country other than your own that influences your creativity?

As many as I have visited, lived/worked in and have researched have influenced me inasmuch as human beings are all the same.

There are good, bad and downright ugly people everywhere. In the vast majority of instances the most generous are those with very little, the most avaricious are those with so very much.

Religious fanatics are idiots no matter the religion and race/gender are irrelevant overall.
