#ScribesAndMakers March 2: Hi, @NaraMoore !

No real questions. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday!

#ScribesAndMakers March 3: Ripple?

Fudge Ripple, Orange Creamsicle, Caramel Salt.

#ScribesAndMakers March 4: Make your own Mad Lib from your WIP. (Remove words, ask for suggested adj, n, v, etc to replace)

She went to the {noun} and {verb} for her {noun} using her {noun} discount.

#ScribesAndMakers March 7: Are you able to communicate in sign language?

Not in any appreciable degree. I can say 'thank you,' 'cat,' 'girl,' and the alphabet in ASL. Possibly a few other things in sign for babies. I'm reasonably good at reading lips in English though. Mostly because while I'm not HOH, I can't process human speech in a crowded or noisy environment.

#ScribesAndMakers March 8: Is there a country other than your own that influences your creativity?

Every country I've been to potentially influences my creativity. While I haven't been to Italy or Japan, their media impact my creativity as well.

#ScribesAndMakers March 11: Our featured creator does 3D printing. Have you ever?

I haven't. I don't have the space or the money but I've always been interested in that and CNC.

#ScribesAndMakers March 12: Our featured creator has an em dash key on his keyboard. Do you do any customizations for your creativity?

Congrats on the em dash key. I use HTML entities since I'm writing in Markdown and my workflow results in the em dashes showing up correctly in the final stories.

I've got a bunch of scripts that handle ... basically problems I've created through my custom workflow.  I've written a bit about that previously if it's a really big interest to anyone. Reminds me I've got three blogs right now and one of them hasn't gotten updates in a while.

#ScribesAndMakers March 13: Our featured creator writes both novels and short stories. How do you feel about short fiction? Do you read short stories as often as novels?

I cut my teeth on flash fiction many years ago. These days, I tend to read things in the novelette to novella range (which is also where I do most of my writing). I do still read some flash fiction here and there.

#ScribesAndMakers March 15: Is the time you've had for creativity this month what you expected?

Conceptually, yes. In practice, the other issues I've had going on have somewhat damaged my emotional capacity. I knew I wasn't going to have two phenomenal months in a row but this month looks like it's going to be pretty disappointing.

#ScribesAndMakers March 17: What’s a creative habit you’ve wanted to adopt but haven’t yet?

Adopting doesn't tend to be the issue for me. It's more keeping up with it. For example, I think I made pretty good progress with my art last year but I'm not currently doing any daily effort on it.

#ScribesAndMakers March 19: How did you feel when you finished your most recent project?

The most recent thing I finished was the second story in the video game smutimatic universe series that started as ... kind of a borderline shitpost idea that happened between me, my roommate, and the Fediverse. Because of the way I have the stories building on each other, I mostly thought "time to write the next thing." Which has been slightly counterproductive because I now have two things that need to be edited and published while I'm writing the next things. 

#ScribesAndMakers March 20: Self-promotion day!

Get my most recent stories or read my most recent freebie Snowed In With You.

• Meeting Megan — Tammi is accidentally vacationing without her best friend when she runs into an older woman ... on the clothing-optional beach. Sparks fly but could there be something more between them?
• Boyfriend's Power-Up Makes Him Huge — When I got my boyfriend a prototype of the latest, he accidentally brought a power-up back with him. It makes characters huge. I can't wait for us to use it together!

#ScribesAndMakers March 21: What everyday object would you photograph as if it were art?

Pretty much anything. I had a running art project where I would take photos of paper towels that had been abandoned in odd places at my work place. I neglected to preserve the collection when I left. There's not necessarily anything which I would hold back from that impulse.
