  1. If choosing between a sword and shield, what would I prefer?

    No contest. In my youth, I was a skilled foil fencer (I competed at the Jr Olympics & the NCAAs). In the SCA (I've since GAFIAted) I learned to wear a sword with no thought. And now I'm learning to wield a katana inTangSooDo.

    Swords all the way!

  2. What are some hills that I would die on in real life, related to books or stories?

    I'm ready to take a stand about all of the book banning that's been going on--but while I'm willing to be arrested, I'm not willing to die. I can do more good if I'm still around to make good trouble.

  3. @elektra Oh wow. Roan says he doesn't like to fight, but let's face it, he loves it. And while Grey doesn't technically like fighting, he knows how to end every single one. (He's big and he punches like a Buick.) #Writephant

  4. Do you have any characters that are scrapping for a large fight or a little argument?

  5. Sometimes, it's okay to say, Not my circus, not my monkeys ...

    ... and then go have a beer or watch a show or your equivalent.

    It may even be necessary.

  6. #ChooseYourBattles
    Dealing with idiots (== people not inclined towards reason) is exhausting and quite draining.
    It's a challenging game where lowering your intellectual gears risks playing on unfamiliar turf, where the odds are not in your favor.
    It's wise to steer clear of such dialogues. Prioritizing your energy and intellect is key.

  7. Using my lunchtime to draw is therapeutic

    Does jumping in the works/tasks/problems with my whole heart and unconditionally is the smartest thing to do?

    I lean to say yes, also because I don’t know how to do it differently, but in the long run it’s kind of exhausting

    Some times ago one, during a conversation, one of my mentors told me over and over “Mauro, choose your battles”

    Time to embrace that suggestion
