#WordWeavers 23. What's one writing "rule" you've happily ignored?
Ignored rules
- Edit as I go.
- Use lots of semi and full colons.
- Got a sentence fragment? A colon will usually fix that.
- Use "", italics, and tagging for thoughts.
- The narrator is aware someone will read what they wrote.
- Too many glue words.
Use description; screw terse text.
Read the prompt and answer exactly what it asks. 8-to-1 rule violations.

#WritersCoffeeClub AU 23: If no one read what you write, would you still choose to write?
It would be discouraging, but I think so. Some of the things I write don't get a hit for many days, but I still write those things.
I would a lot less editing though.

Have you ever used a sensitivity reader?Yes, but they nitpicking about other items., argued with me, and failed to inform when they had finished.
I had better luck with my regular reader pointing out problems.

#ScribesAndMakers 8/22—Fantasy stories are frequently inspired by medieval societies. Why do you think people are fascinated by that time period?
Different enough to dress up. Frankly, though, the "noble" aristocrat makes me want to puke.

#PennedPossibilities 1106: SC POV: When was a time where you had to make an impossible choice.
“Honey stains thy lips. I am not known for generosity. But for my sister’s sake, I will make an exception and trade the woman for the man.” His porcelain hand waved with cold indifference toward Tomo.
I should accept the deal. It was the only rational path to save Shishi. I shut out Kan-chan’s pleading — “Please, Ume” — calling on me to refuse the trade. I braced myself.
Like Judas or Mitsuhide at Honnō-ji, I would betray her.
But which betrayal was worse — turning my back on one love, or the other?

#ScribesAndMakers »21 Link to or summarize yesterday's poll and reveal the answer.
Trick you? I guess I would do that, but I didn't. Actually, I did, sort of.
Nostradamus, the prophet – Found in the basement of the British Museum.
Rasputin, also a prophet – Was considered instead of Nostradamus.
Simon Magus, false messiah – Yep, we have him. Still claiming to be the true messiah.
I considered cheating but didn’t.The correct answer was Rasputin; he does not appear in my story.

- 21. #Wordweaver What's a trope you enjoy writing, even if it's unpopular?
It would be hard to find a trope not popular with some group of individuals.
I have written a few series with borderline yandere. Popular with some, hated by others.
Disaster Lesbians is obviously reviled in some quarters. Not these and certainly not by my readers.
Karmic Entanglement is not popular, i.e., uncommon, but I wouldn't say unpopular.

#PennedPossibilities 1104: Where has your MC lived the longest? What kept them there for so long?
The MCs in #KonbiniIdol and #Airisu were born and raised in the Hanno area of Japan. Two of them went to the States- Seattle/San Francisco for part of their lives but returned to the area where they were born.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 20th Aug. How easy is it for you to write characters outside of your age?
I write characters at the high end of the normal spread common in the yuri genre, i.e. college to young adults. I am long past that age.

#WordWeavers 19/8: Which character has changed the most since your first draft?
Both Ume and Shishi in #KonbiniIdol changed considerably in the early stages of that novel.
The original Ume was a player, but that got dropped when I decided not to write another R18 novel.
Shishi made it to the page in her full toxic glory in the first draft of the opening chapters. When I reread it, I realized she came off as vile.
So I dialed her back. She was still toxic but most of the profanity disappeared. She still said awful things when stressed and drunk but it wasn't her habitual mode of speach. A reader would give her a chance instead of loathing.
