#ScribesAndMakers 1 May
Are you starting any new projects this month? No, but I'm rebooting my number one project, and I intend to finish it this year.

mastodon 4.7.3I'm retired, hence I have no time. And, aged 74 I am now more retired than I was before. When I do have time, I try to write. This is the writing me. The rest of me is at @robparsons@mastodon.social
And I have written a book of short stories which I am selling to fundraise for my local hospice: https://ko-fi.com/s/19f8a3fee
Profile pic is me with my fluffy sheep Ruffles. Header is about a hundred sheep who decided to form a ring on the downs one day. I'm not that interested in sheep, really.

#WordWeavers 6 May
What writing-related challenges have you encountered recently?
Finding the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#ScribesAndMakers 7 May: When did you think of the idea for your current project? Do you remember how it came about?
Seven or eight years ago (but I am determined it's going to be finished this year). As for how, basically the same way all my projects come to me. A scene appears in my mind. Everything else grows from there. AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER IT!!!! IT'S INFURIATING!!!
#WordWeavers May 2: How much longer do you think it’ll take you to finish your WIP? I aim to finish it this year. I am famously bad at achieving my aims, but I intend this one to be different.
The letters section of the index of this week's print edition of The Eocnomist says "the Victorians, bald men, eggs". That is a #writing #prompt if ever I saw one. #Wordweavers #PennedPossibilities
Any recommendations for someone UK based to make an #epub version of my book? #books #publishing
“He asked his mum once if they could have a cat. “One pet animal is enough, dear”, she said, looking at him meaningfully.”
My WIP is now a work.
Nanotales, a book of 26 short stories by Rob Parsons – that’s me - is on sale at https://ko-fi.com/s/19f8a3feeb Proceeds to St Peter and St James hospice. “variety of theme and gently humorous style” says a reader.
#WordWeavers 1 May: How long have you been working on your WIP? The first scene came into my head eight years ago and I've been working on it, on and off - more off than on - ever since. But I intend to finish it this year.

@SJAsh_03@mastodon.sdf.org I've looked up Sigil. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sigil.html Might give it a go. Thanks.

@Drayson@dragonchat.org do you seriously think us dragons take any notice of what people say?
#WordWeavers 7 May: Does your antagonist have any redeeming qualities?
At the moment the answer is no, but whenever a question like this comes up, I realise that my antagonist is not yet well enough written. He needs more attention.

@AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop "even more life": you're right there. Life seems to increase exponentially.
Replying to
@AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop well, I haven't spent the whole eight years writing it; life keeps getting in the way. I am now determined not to let life get in the way any ore.
