#WritersCoffeeClub – 23rd Mar. What's the most you've worked on a WIP before deciding to scrap it? What happened?

The first chapter of "Matsumoto's Curse" appeared on 26/04/21. The last chapter appeared on 20/02/22. Whereupon it was discontinued.

It is highly unlikely I would ever go back to it, though pieces have been cannibalized for later serials.

#WordWeavers 23. What are you careful about when writing?

Everything: Research, grammar, spelling, transitions, characterization, dialogue, plot, and how interesting it is. I make mistakes, but I am not sloppy.

#WordWeavers March 22: Is there a subject that's represented poorly in media that you'd like to cover in your work?

I mainly read Japanese literature, and the romance around possessiveness and jealousy is vile. While it occurs in my work, it is something to be overcome, not glorified.

#PennedPossibilities 965 — What is your MC’s reaction when someone close to them is sick or injured?

Tomo #KonbiniIdol: "It depends on who it is. Ume will take care of the person, unless it's Shishi, when she freaks out, and that is all she can think about. Isn't love wonderful?"

#TimeTravelAuthors 03/23. Something that surprised you about your story

• That I have written over 29K of this story. And that people are still following, retcon and all.
• And that it reads as smoothly as it does when put it together and start editing for broader release.

#PennedPossibilities 964 — MC POV: What area of your life do you tend to enjoy in excess instead of moderation?

#Airisu struts back and forth. "I do nothing in excess!"

#WritersCoffeeClub – 22nd Mar. How do you organise your notes? (No notes?)

• I have a note file for every major project. It's organized in sections - haphazardly.
• Metadata is at the top of every file.

#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.

Taken last fall
