#WritersCoffeeClub 5/16. What's a writerly risk you've taken recently? Did it pay off?

Deciding to write a strict romance genre story without a lot of time to do it - I need printed copies in two weeks. I started at the end of March.

And wanting to make it illustrated - because why not make it even harder?

Story written and edited. Cover graphic sorted, now looking at the illustrations... create a 3D image, and then apply a couple processes in GIMP to make it look a bit pencil drawn.

#ScribesAndMakers 5/15. What's going well with your creative work so far this month?

I have my new Linux computer, everything is running including the Windows versions of Scrivener and DazStudio. I can now do proper renders on DazStudio as I'm not memory-limited, and Blender runs like the devil, incredible.

I finished writing "The Damsel and the Mermaid", and my wife finished giving it an edit yesterday.

Although I have engaged my usual cover designer, she's going to be using the images I create, similar to the one attached below.

I have got "Maliha Anderson Complete" compilation created on Atticus (painfully slow it's so huge) and up on to Amazon, from thence to Audible so the narrator can upload the already completed audiobooks - that was the sole reason, omnibuses are more cost-effective.

Just trying to get everything together for the show on June 6/7.

Tira while not related to Acacia, treats the young Royal more like a younger sister. Acacia normally isn't allow to show her Affections publicly.

#WritersCoffeeClub 5/13. _Follow-up_: if writing was not your "thing," what would your "thing" be?

Nowadays definitely 3D rendered art in the form of comics.

(Everything in this is 3D rendered - including the speech bubble which is an object in the virtual space.)

#eroticMusings Week 50 (May 10-16) Studio: Is your creative workspace erotic in any way? Would a visitor guess that erotica is created there?

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha [breathe] ... no.

No one would ever know the naughtiness in the words and pictures. (Yes I chose a relatively tame picture.)

#ScribesAndMakers 5/7. When did you think of the idea for your current project? Do you remember how it came about?

So we (my wife and I) are booked to trade at a steampunk event on June 6th/7th.

My wife said, late March this year, "the theme for the event is pirates and mermaids, we could write books". So I said "That's a good idea."

The file was opened March 25th and the writing completed at 30K words on May 4th. And I'm now working on the clean-ups.

Coming soon: "The Damsel and the Mermaid"

The mermaid image is available as a wallpaper/screensaver for desktop, iPhone and Android

#WritersCoffeeClub 5/6. Talk about something you've written which you expected would (_or expect will_) divide readers.

Better than that, I'll give you something that absolutely does divide readers.

"Wind in the East", the fourth book of the Maliha Anderson series, has a scene where she has herself strung up naked and insists her boyfriend whip her.

Writing the scene wiped me out emotionally for two weeks, but it wasn't some random perversion. She had a very specific reason (well, two reasons) even if they don't necessarily bear detailed examination.

Let's just say that readers either do, or do not, get past this scene.
