#PennedPossibilities 980 — Have you ever had your work plagiarized or stolen?

Bijou from #TimeTravelingGhost tells dad jokes.
#Airisu from A Crow and a Witch jokes a lot. Not that her humor is very sophisticated.

#WritersCoffeeClub 4/8. Do you do warm-ups before or cool-downs after a writing session?
No, unless you count reading a bit of what I just wrote a warm-up. I don't.
Cool-down, I'm not even sure I would know what that looked like. I just go do the next thing I am going to do.

#PennedPossibilities 979 — Tell us about something that disgusts your SC.
Emily from #TimeTravelingGhost is totally disgusted with Nazes and fascism. The OG kind. (She would be with the modern kind, too, if she were exposed to them.)
Less seriously with eating oysters.

#ScribesAndMakers 7 Would your current creative project make a good game?
Possibly an open world adventure like Skyrim. Though most of the material would be new to flesh it out.
Or the yet unnamed game project I was recruited into.

#WritersCoffeeClub April 7: Do you combine poetic fragments and prose paragraphs in your work?
Yes. Usually, whole poetic passages. It's a very Heian/Edo thing to do.

#WordWeavers Apr 6: Can you create a character/place/storyhook/device on the spot, if you need to? If so, share an example.
Small stuff or continuing stuff. Lots of smaller characters just come as needed. Places the same way.
Larger stuff, like plots, takes maybe 15 minutes to an hour of […]

#WritersCoffeeClub 4/6. Do the plots or characters in your work converge towards a single point?
Seeing some of the posts, I think I see a pattern.
No, there are min-arcs. Some are progressive, and others are not. Some arcs finish before the climax. But everything important is wrapped up by […]

#WritersCoffeeClub: How can the physical form of the writing become part of the storytelling?
I refer again to The Passing of Zi Zhen 子真之逝 where I make use of white space as an active part of the story.

#PennedPossibilities 975.1 — Author/Artist POV: Sometimes we end up In the Zone. Do you work until you drop? Or to a stopping point? Can you do anything but sleep afterwards?
Neither, I don't have the focus for either. Zone just means when I refocus, I can pick things up where I left off […]

#wordweavers 4 Invite a a character to a party.
I hate parties. I hate social gatherings of all kinds. I do however enjoy walking surrounded by crows. So it would be #Airisu for a walk. Special rule no teasing my dog.

#writerscoffeeclub 4 Past or present tense switching.
Only the normal narrative vs. dialog switch. Other wise I have done it once to emphasize the alarm of a character. I am not sure it was worth it.

#ScribesAndMakers 4/3. Do you think there is a creative element to eating?
Cooking, eating, and plating - especially when combined- seem to be creative.
Face it, anything can be done creatively.
Though untieing your shoes after creative tying can be interesting.

#wordweavers 3 Who has backstories.
All the primary characters including antag to varying degrees. More of the tragedies than successes that make them who they are. With plenty unwritten till some thing fits there on the canvas.

#PennedPossibilities 974 — Does your MC become jealous? If so, to what degree? How does their jealousy manifest?
None of MCs have had this problem, and secondary characters may show minor signs of it. The exception is Emily in #TimeTravelingGhost. It is not shown as romantic; in fact, the […]

#WritersCoffeeClub April 2: Visual presentation: how do white space and typography become meaningful elements of literary form?
There is the whole business of paragraph length, which affects flow.

#WordWeavers 4/2—Do you use any special means to get to know your characters? E.g. character sheets, prequels, interviews, etc.
