#ScribesAndMakers 03/30—Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example.
Birds make frequent appearances in my work: bush warblers, swallows, owls, tit mice, roc, and of course, crows.

#ScribesAndMakers Mar. 28: Does your day job (past or present) influence your creativity?
Everything influences my creativity. But in the spirit of the prompt:
* I use my insights from being a mental health therapist to help inform and flesh out my characters.
* As a person who spent years […]

#ScribesAndMakers - 25 Mar. "Do you use music as a storytelling tool? Give an example."
I made the mistake of using music lyrics in my early work. Due to copyright issues barring intense revision, they will stay in the fanfic arena as a result.
Music still plays a role in my writing, but […]

The rock troll kicked the chef out and growled, “Give me my trowel! We have a plaster roast beast tonight.”
“Eek, I’m a frood, sir, not roast beast!”

#ScribesAndMakers 21 What everyday object would you photograph as if it were art?
If they seem to have artistic merit. Flowers, food, Junk/ruins/decay, crows are non-exclusively often subjects of my photography.

#ScribesAndMakers 3/19 How did you feel when you finish your last project.
Limiting to major projects. Relieved, proud, ready to be moving on after two years.

#ScribesAndMakers If your creative work could speak, what would it say about you?
And what's this with the poetry in your stories? It started as quoted song lyrics, and now there are whole chapters where characters exchange renga and kkatauta. Yes, I know the #Heian and #Edo periods, and the […]
#ScribesAndMakers If your creative work could speak, what would it say about you.?
Your writing is getting darker. Karmic costs are well and good but plagues, PTSD, and profound guilt might be a bit much.

#ScribesAndMakers 17: What’s a creative habit you’ve wanted to adopt but haven’t yet?
1. Pushing through mid-afternoon drozzies.
2. Staying focused on research goals when reading fiction. Not all fiction, but when I am reading it because I have a literary objective.
3. Remembering my […]
#ScribesAndMakers 16, Convince us to read a book you don't care for yourself. (1 of 2)
Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. While not to my taste (DNF), it is a seminal example of avant-garde writing. It is worth a shot to see it if you like it. There is no need to finish […]
#ScribesAndMakers 16, Convince us to read a book you don't care for yourself.
It's a historic document that has had a profound impact on the world, history, and Western culture. It's full of great quotes. Reading it will help arm you against those who would misuse it.
Skip the boring parts […]

#ScribesAndMakers 2.26 Do you abandon creative projects? 2/2
I awake at 2:00 in the morning, and an idea is buzzing in my head. Using my tablet, I write out the important pieces in ProtonDoc. The next morning, I will look at and decide if worth pursuing. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
#NMSAM […]
#ScribesAndMakers 2.26 — Do you abandon creative projects? If so, how do determine when to abandon them?
Sure, if they aren't working. If I publish part of one, I try to finish it or leave in an HFN state.

#ScribesAndMakers 24: Something you learned about one community member's creativity? 2/2
It's not something I learned, but something I was reminded of, being knocked unconscious is no joke.
Being reminded, I went back and edited the follow-up scene that follows this happening.
> The beggar […]
#ScribesAndMakers 25 Would you stream your creative process/ the creation of your work? Why or why not?
I have thought about it. But who would want to watch me type, get distracted by "research," or fedi posts?
Besides, I'm not much of a talker, which is a prime streamer skill.
#NMSAM #NMPrompts
#ScribesAndMakers 24: Something you learned about one community member's creativity?
Picking out individuals like that makes me itch.
If I follow you, I read your responses - at least the first few lines, if it's a wall of text.
If we have talked, I remember you.

#ScribesAndMakers 20/02: The alpha male is a misconception perpetuated in popular media that our featured creator works against in her wolf books. What's a misconception that bothers you in popular media?
Jealosy. It is rife in JP lit, especially in things aimed at young people. I loathe it.

#scribesAndMakers 2026-02-18 Our next featured creator has done her own book covers. Have you ever or would you ever do your own cover?
I work with my Artist: Mai-sensei
It is a close collaboration; I write the spec and do post-processing. But she does all the art.
Art in quote post for […]

#ScribesAndMakers 1/6. How long does it usually take you to decide if you like a piece of visual art?
Two looks.
1. Does it catch my attention?
2. Is it interesting enough to maintain my attention?
Generally, 2 seconds.

Step 1: Find someone who has done this.
Step 2: Ask them.

Sweat and savory grilled meat and onions paired to perfection over soft rice rich with the sauce. Picture to add zest.
