Cackling.

#WordWeavers March 23: What are you careful about when writing?
Ideology. I never want to publish something that carries values I don't actually believe in.

#WordWeavers March 22: Is there a subject that's represented poorly in media that you'd like to cover in your work?
#Antiauthoritarianism. I mean. there's LOADS of that on the ground--up to and including fully articulated #anarchism (something I'm not really qualified to represent)--but there's also a *lot* of slathering worship of soldiers and kings in SFF, and I cannot stand that shit.

#WordWeavers March 21. Where does your MC fall, on a scale of timid to recklessly brave?
She starts quite reckless--because she was raised in an environment with basically zero danger and a great deal of freedom (as in, she doesn't know what "talking back" even is), but then she learned to be way less so once she's trapped in a paramilitary space cult. (It's the Jedi Academy. She's in a padawan.)

#PennedPossibilities 963 — If you use a pen name, what is its significance and how did you arrive at using it?
I don't because I'm already "Orion," and I don't think it can get any better than that. :)

#WritersCoffeeClub March 22: How do you organize your notes?
In Scrivener, you can create directories of texts outside the manuscript for setting, characters, worldbuilding, all that kind of thing. It has outlining features, but I haven't typically used those. I might in the future, though. It sounds like it might cause less aggravation than writing a whole damn draft that I just have to rewrite anyway. [sigh]

#WritersCoffeeClub March 20: Who is your ideal reader?
A very leftist SFF nerd. Someone who knows the genre and will get it when the Jedi are the bad guys. :)
