#ScribesAndMakers – 1st Jul. Our featured creator is a former librarian. What has been your experience with libraries?

I used libraries frequently when I was young. Social anxiety has hindered that and I haven't been in one for years.

#WordWeavers 2. What's the hardest emotion for you to write and why?

Garden-variety happiness.

I'm not going to explain; it would sound like whining.

#WordWeavers July 1: If your MC wore tee shirts, what would be on their favorite one?

I don't need to speculate about this. We have the answer in living color.

Birthright stand
An illiterate three
Plus one

In an obvious decision Trump's ludicrous argue that birthright citizenship is not a constitutionally protected birthright the Supreme Court struck down the president's executive order.

The news behind the news is three justices agreed with Trump.

Ludicrous

#WritersCoffeeClub – 2nd Jul. What are the limits of critique?

It's between the critiquer and the critiqee. Within the limits of being deliberately destructive.

down to cloves of garlic
at the bottom
of the pickle barrel

seeds swirling
turmeric-green drain

sleepwalker's ballad
green flesh, green hair
eyes of cold silver

suborbital
the stars are singing
a satellite's demise

predictive markets pondering
where will the space junk land?

economic pickle
whose insider
ah, garlic rush

#PennedPossibilities 1015 — Were any of the scenes in your WIP inspired by your own experiences?

In a general way. My experiences as a marginalized person, queer, trans, non-Christian, mystic are reflected. The generalized fear and looking over one's shoulder.

But no action-based experiences have yet been mirrored in my current WIP.

#LoveMakeShare June 30 Share something from this month that you're proud of.

This story strikes the right tone for a #Queer celebration. The relationship is just a relationship without the baggage that Abrahamic religions have loaded onto it.

The final EP will appear on July 2th and the PIXIV and AO3 versions on July 13.

A #KonbiniIdol After Story*
#Wss366 #Sub

“Umi, why the get-up?” Shishi asked me. The 15th-century European cavalier outfit I had rented, along with a flowing amber wig, was an unusual choice. It wasn’t as if I was a big cosplayer.

“It’s to keep my identity a secret. My publishers still receive threatening letters from the cult I wrote about. Apparently, I didn’t disguise its name well enough, and they took offense at my insulting their leader.”

“So, why come?” Her concerned look was so cute that it made me feel all warm inside.

“How could I resist free airplane tickets and a hotel in a subtropical paradise? Especially when I knew you had never been out of Japan.”

That brought a smile to her face. I knew she felt inferior to people who had done and seen more than she had. Which was a laugh; she had seen things few mortals had set eyes on: the Heian court of Takiyasha-tennō and Sanuki Tenman; the nuclear-ravaged ruins of Hiroshima; and the blessed Mayoiga.

Those weren’t memories we enjoyed. They were laced with the fear we had felt. The here and now was better. I looked down at my meal and said, “The stipend isn’t much, but it pays for our meals.”

I reached over and wiped a smear of gravy from her face and continued, “You can’t get a loco moco like this at home.”

#WritersCoffeeClub - 19th Apr. How can prose achieve lyricism without verse structure?

1. Don't be afraid of description.
2. Articulate characters with good language skills.
3. Metaphor, symbolism, etc.

There is more, but that is a good start.

#NMWCC #NMPrompts

#ScribesAndMakers – 16th May. Create a poll with three websites you reference for your creative work and one you don't. Ask people to guess the one you don't.

There are a lot I could have listed.

I think this one is easy, but we will see.

In case you're part of that group that thinks it's not THAT bad. Just paranoid fringe types.

#LoveMakeShare 15. Shout out a maker in your life who had an impact on you.

My mother loved making period #doll clothes. The two pictured here are a turn-of-the-20th-century sporting outfit, and #VestaTilley (1864–1952) was the most prominent British female #crossdresser of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
