Ch 9 Nbr 17 — Other than writing, what's your go-to creative outlet?

Photography. You can check my feed. I called it my short form until I decided I could write short short stories. I also have a site where I sell them.

2405.17 — Have you ever written for other age groups? (MG, YA, A)

My publisher pegged me as a YA writer. Lately, I've been pushing the envelope to adult in general, and in particular writing an erotic fantasy as one of the WiPs. It can all change in revision, of course...

#WordWeavers, #Writing 17 Have you ever written for other age groups?

I don't consciously write for any age group. Certainly, nothing is aimed at children. Most of what I write has mature themes. So the answer is probably no, I write for a mature audience.

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 17 Other than writing, what's your go-to creative outlet?

Anyone who follows my timeline knows I'm deep into underground Japanese Idols. Neck deep or deeper. Shows, livestreams, Cheki (small polaroid-type photos), bromides (larger photos), autographs, you name it.

I also do rough camping and hunt ghosts. I know some folks think I'm batty but I've had a couple of encounters with them.

#PennedPossibilities 317 — What clothing materials or outfits feel the most comfortable to your villain?

She was arguably a villain, and she got a thuggish prizefighter to try to kill the MC. She also tried to help a coup d'etat in the mob, which failed. The MC meet her in an alley when the MC dissed her gang boyfriend and she tried to slit her throat. The MC took away her ivory handled jackknife, which becomes a character by itself in later stories. She goes by the moniker of Mustang, maybe because like the car she's unsteerable?

She's described as

"The women looked overly girly in garish reds or pinks, with matching makeup and bracelets, except for a buzzed-cut blonde tanned woman [Mustang] who wore brass stud piercings. (Didn't brass have lead in it...? Poisonous... Oh, never mind.) It worked; she looked tough, more so maybe than her gold chain-wearing boyfriend in a white tee shirt."

We're talking cotton here. Cheap. She's wearing something tight and black around her hips.

I've only been in Melbourne half a day and already I'm writing another story. This is probably a short or novella. Getting out of my normal routine, and away from the happy blandness that is Northern Tasmania, has really sparked something.

Do you find writing away from your home easier or more difficult?

2405.16 — If your characters were in a museum, how would they act?

It would depend on how they ended up in the museum. If the devil-girl were put on display, it would end badly for whomever put her there. Were she a patron, she'd be indistinguishable from the crowd. Once she got herself into a sealed vault without breaking in or using the vault door; the interior turned out to be somewhat of a museum (it had family pictures), but she didn't steal anything. It did help her solve a kidnapping, however.

Ch 9 Nbr 15 — Have you ever attended a writer's fair / festival to promote your work? Would you?

I haven't.

I consider it if it were for the trade, that is for writers, publishers, and booksellers. If it were for the general public, considering that I feel knowing my gender could add a subtext to my stories I don't want, I'd have to think long and hard of the benefits of attending.

#WordWeavers 2405.15 — Who are your most and least gullible characters?

Of the MC's in the two current WiPs, it's exactly the opposite of what you might think.

The devil-girl had been very successful in most all her endeavors, but she'd never gotten to where she was if she wasn't used by someone every... single... time. Mind you, it doesn't always end well for those who gulled her!

Wintereyes comes across as an ingénue and innocent enough that you'll fear she'll get used like a tissue and thrown away dirtied. Not the case. She mediated between a dragon and a farmer whose silo got burnt down. The dragon apologized! (So did the farmer.) She's observant, quiet. Around people she's shy, but says what she sees and sets misunderstandings straight. Kind and helpful, everyone—humans, dragons, wolves, even cats—ends up doing what she sees is best for them and they like it, despite plans they might have had for her. Because she understands what she doesn't know, her skepticism and guilelessness plays havoc on those trying to use her.

316 — Does your MC or SC have a hard time connecting with others?

Both MCs in the current two WiPs have a hard time connecting with others for different reasons. They could be summed up for one they're people and for the other they're not animals.

If you've followed my posts, you're welcome to guess which is which.

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 316 — Does your MC or SC have a hard time connecting with others?

Kaori repeatedly relates her difficulty connecting to people.

Shiomi also has difficulty. It's Shiomi against the world.

#wordweavers #Writing 16. If your characters were in a museum, how would they act?

Collections of wonders in 1700 did not usually have labels or placards explaining things, so Franz-Karl asks lots of questions and gets into long conversations with the custodians. Fritzel joins in.

(In a modern museum, Franz-Karl would be like me and my brother and annoy the rest of the party by reading ALL the information provided. Audio-tour headsets would be Heaven, but he would still read EVERYTHING.)

#writerscoffeeclub #Writing 16. What's your target audience? Why?

Fans of yuri
Queer woman interested in queer romance

Why? Because that is what that's what I like. I have no great mission beyond entertaining other people who love yuri.
