#ScribesAndMakers 3. Do you think there is a creative element to eating?
I don't think so but I don't have kids. I think preparing and presentation of food can be creative.

#ScribesAndMakers 4/3. Do you think there is a creative element to eating?
Cooking, eating, and plating - especially when combined- seem to be creative.
Face it, anything can be done creatively.
Though untieing your shoes after creative tying can be interesting.

#ScribesAndMakers April 2: What does imposter syndrome mean to you and do you think you have it?
Generally, a feeling that you are not good enough for the job you are doing right now, despite evidence to the contrary.
I had it during my younger days, in academia. But not so much for my current […]

#scribesandmakers *4/2: What does imposter syndrome mean to you and do you think you have it?*
It's that feeling of anxiety and stress which comes with doing something that you know how to do, but feel that you are somehow not good enough, even if you trained, practiced, and succeeded in the […]

#ScribesAndMakers 2. What does imposter syndrome mean to you and do you think you have it?
I mean, there are already so many good answers to this today. Mine isn't that important, or good enough, really.
(Note: I am defining what it means to me by my answer.)

What does impostor syndrome mean to you and do you think you have it?
I'm a middle-aged white guy. I'm not subjected to systemic injustice that would make me doubt myself unfairly or feel like I don't belong among my peers or deserve any success that I do achieve. I get […]

# #ScribesAndMakers 4/2—What does imposter syndrome mean to you, and do you think you have it?
The feeling that you are not good enough to call yourself by some title. In this case, an author, writer, poet, photographer, etc.
**Don't overthink things.**
No, I don't have it. I may not be […]

#ScribesAndMakers 31 Mar
Are you satisfied with how your creativity went this month?
The creativity was going fine. The executive function to sit down and write instead of falling into my other distractions is another matter.

screenshot of Chuck Darwin's Mastodon post Bluesky has launched an AI assistant called Attie that allows users to design their own social media algorithms and create custom feeds within the company’s AT Protocol ecosystem. Attie debuted this weekend at the ATmosphere conference, which Bluesky sponsors. But Bluesky’s userbase did not embrace the new product. Instead, about 125,000 users have already blocked Attie’s Bluesky account, making it the second most blocked account on the network, according to open source data. Attie only has 1,500 followers, meaning that about 83 times more users have blocked the account than followed it. The only account with more blocks than Bluesky’s AI agent is Vice President J. D. Vance, with about 180,000 blocks — Attie even surpassed the White House account (122,000 blocks) and the ICE account (112,460 blocks). That’s some seriously detested company for a platform that skews left politically.

oh dear, BlueSky has a new AI
You know what to do!

#ScribesAndMakers 30 Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example.
I haven't taken a lot of photo of birds. I suspect that might be another phase of photography for me someday after I retire. Also, I'll need a different camera.
But, I did embroider a […]

Page from a novel: "I suppose he could have the phony sculpture, and maybe the remaining jars," Harris said. "Right. And if we can wrap up who pulled off the heist, and prove that Wells killed Vargas, that should clear Fielding." "All right," Harris said, "I'll leave you to it." He extended a hand to Mark. "It was good meeting you, Mark. Every time I meet one of Martin's associates, I'm impressed, but I had no idea he had an art expert in the bull pen." Mark shook the hand, but he gave a steely sideways glance at me. "Glad to meet you too," Mark told Harris, "and glad to help." With a nod, a wave, and a stop at the counter to pay for his extra cookie, Harris was out the door and driving away. A minute later Mark and I had followed him outside. A pair of sparrows hopped out of our way on the walk, pausing in their fight over a large bread crust to look up at us with sharp black eyes and give a synchronized chirp. "Well, Mark," I said, "looks like we have a few people to talk to." "Who asked you?" Mark demanded. I turned to him. "What the hell?" "Sorry," Mark said, gesturing down the path. "I was talking to the birds."

Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example.
A tiny bit?
In one scene in QUESTIONS FOR THE DEAD, Mark -- a psychic who can talk with animals -- appears to have a brief exchange with some rude, snarky sparrows.

Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example.
Occasionally. I can't think of anything where birds were the point of the story. The opening line of Under Sheil Croft is:
"Winter has loosened his grip on the earth, blossom has started to cluster and fall from the […]

#ScribesAndMakers 30: Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example.
In my superhero novels, the Demon Duck of Doom* is still around (or maybe, like trilobites, they were time-jumped to the present by a supervillain's malfunctioning time machine).
Imagine a flightless bird 2.5 metres (8 […]

Birds make frequent appearances in my work: bush warblers, swallows, owls, tit mice, roc, and of course, crows.

#ScribesAndMakers 29 Griddle?
I only use a griddle when I go camping. I put some butter and/or oil onto the griddle and heat it up. When it's ready, I put scoops of gluten-free pancake mixture on it. I wait for the pancakes to bubble and pop and then I flip them. Wait a few minutes and then take […]

29. Griddle?
I think these are for making breakfast? When I lived in a place that had more storage space, I owned an electric griddle with tall sides. It was excellent for making fried rice. Because this word is not common to me, I immediately thought of a grid-like word game […]
