#PennedPossibilities 1120: Saturday Word Edition: Share something from your WIP pertaining to the word “entertainment.”

I ended up ordering the roast duckling and peaches in Chartreuse jelly. The first was excellent, while the grassy flavor of the second didn’t agree with me.

Emily used the ivy growing on a trellis next to our seating to sneak sips of my consommé, while I indulged in oysters and a Champagne cocktail.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 6th Sept. If you work digitally, what keyboard or dictation do you use? If paper, what do you write with?

Digitally: I use a Corsair keyboard attached to my laptop. Some of the letters are wearing off.

Paper: Whatever pen is at hand. (A fine tip is better.) A notebook bought at Daiso if I am organized. Otherwise, scrap envelopes from bills.

#ScribesAndMakers – 6th Have you ever listened to an audiobook where the reader had a good voice, but not the 'right' voice?

No.

#ScribesAndMakers 5: Favourite colour of ice cream?

A name, maybe, but color not so much. I love the name "Rocky Road."

Color: Black Sesame, but I'm reaching.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 5th Sept. Do you track your word count? How? Why?

I don't do it for productive reasons, but I do do it for EP, chapter, and volume length.

How, it at the bottom of the LibreOffice window.

#ScribesAndMakers – 4th Sept. Reverse of last month's question: if e-books stopped being produced, how much would you miss them?

A bunch. 90% of what I read is ebooks. I'm trying to downsize my physical lib. too. So nice to have my complete library on one device.

Anyone in the Seattle area could probably talk me into giving them lucky boxes of yuri manga.

#ScribesAndMakers List 7 things about your creativity

1. I am inspired by myth, legend, and other people's tales.
2. I work best with immediate reinforcement, i.e., serials.
3. I don't think commercial publishing channels are worth the time or money.
4. If it were a popular genre, I wouldn't write it.
5. I am not an artist; I buy my illustrations and, at the same time, support a human artist.
6. #Haiga #俳画 scratches three creative itches: poetry, photography, layout.
7. Mysticism and animism are deeply embedded in my writing along with romantic lesbian love and found family.

#NMSAM #NMPrompts

#WritersCoffeeClub September 1: What are your writing goals for this month?

• The usual.
• I have no incomplete miniseries at the moment.
• Maybe start the Witch Hat miniseries I been promising.
• "The Time Machine" flash.
• Read "The Accidental Time Traveler vol. 1 @juliebihn @QuasiTemporal and see if there is any "food" for tripping.
• Check out "A Study in Starlight." @JonSparks .

#WordWeavers 2026.08.31 — What's one thing you hope readers remember long after they finish your story?

That they enjoyed their read and loved the women.

(And the climax kiss)

#NMWW #NMPrompts

#WritersCoffeeClub – 31st Aug. How did this month go for you, writing-wise?

Slow, but I miraculously kept up. That was partly by writing shorter EPs than usual and penning a number of short flash side stories to pad out my non-Fedi release schedule.

Right now I am catching up on beta editing for my partners and myself.

#ScribesAndMakers »31 Choose an adverb to sum up how your month went.

PAINFUL

#WordWeavers 8/25: If readers could keep one item from your story as a souvenir, what would it be?

Good point by @floofpaldi. Instead of a katana, a better souvenir would be a signed copy of Ume's novel. #KonbiniIdol.

Tell us three things you would like to know about you as a person, not a writer & two about yourself as a writer.

#NMSAM #NMPrompts

#WordWeavers 30. If you could interview one of your characters over coffee, what would be the first question you asked?

Why would I ask them anything? I know more about them than they do themself and if I don't know, I can just create the answer.

#PennedPossibilities 1113: Are you a planner down to the little details, a complete pantser, or somewhere in-between?

Inbetween
Characters: 80% Plan
Ending: Planned
Plot and subplots: 25% planned
World build: 10% planned

A woman - oh, that's not what you meant.

No interest now.

#Wss366 #Mule #ScribesAndMakers »27 Tell a story, real or fictional, about an object on your desk/work area.

Among the many things I have collected, one has been silent movie paper memorabilia. Chief among these are Ross Verlag postcards. For many years, their logo featured a little horse or #mule. One day, while walking, I saw a small white ceramic horse on a stone wall that looked just like its logo. At 3/4 of an inch, it is the cutest antiquey thing imaginable. I would include a picture, but it's buried under unopened mail.

Eye of the Storm

#WordWeavers AU 25: If readers could keep one item from your story as a souvenir, what would it be?

Tomo comes home with a finely made katana given to him by a kami. It is never mentioned if it is enchanted, but it would be a top-class display piece. A national treasure quality.

What they would not want is the box they are given by the gods. No details, as that would be a high-level spoiler.

#NMWW #NMPrompts

#ScribesAndMakers 8/25—Do you have any self-imposed rules for your creative work?

1. Do something writing related everyday.
2. Publish an EP every week for my main serial.
3. This one wasn't meant to be a rule, but has become one. Don't break the publishing streak on PIXIV. Now standing at 112 straight weeks of posting.
4. Not to listen to all the preachers of how you should write.

#WritersCoffeeClub 8/24. Talk about a time you realised something about a writer through their works

Now that it is morning, I can think of one.

Lord Dunsany loves semi and full-colon sentences. It's probably where I picked it up.

I may not think about the author themselves, but I sometimes think about their style, especially if I am writing fanfic or pastiche.

I feel like a contrarian this morning. I don't think about the author when I read.

#WordWeavers 24. Which chapter or scene took the longest to get right?

I am a serial writer. I don't have this luxury. One way or another it all happens in a short time frame

#nmww #NMPrompts

#PennedPossibilities 1108: Tell us something you like about your story. (Maybe something you find interesting, entertaining, or amusing.)

What I find interesting is the progression of Ace/alloromantic romance arcs in my works. It has been a slow learning curve, since I am looking for something other than friendship. Something that would appeal to an alloromantic.

#NMPP #NMPrompts

#WordWeavers 23. What's one writing "rule" you've happily ignored?

Ignored rules

1. Edit as I go.
2. Use lots of semi and full colons.
3. Got a sentence fragment? A colon will usually fix that.
4. Use "", italics, and tagging for thoughts.
5. The narrator is aware someone will read what they wrote.
6. Too many glue words.

7. Use description; screw terse text.

8. Read the prompt and answer exactly what it asks. 8-to-1 rule violations.
