Describe an idyllic garden

I have previously called my gardening style “Darwinian gardening”—plant stuff and see what survives. My friend said that was just “lazy gardening” and I think she’s right. 😆

So, my idyllic garden has no weeds. It’s a super chill, low maintenance, happy place. Just hang out and get potatoes later.

Happy almost birthday to me. There will be questions and, assumedly, answers. What a twist!

Has the time finally come for me to bring Final Fantasy Cheese back to light? XD

#WordWeavers Day 15: What’s the actual temperature in your story?

Around -10°C for the most part, maybe as low as -20°C (14°F to -4°F).

Cold but nothing to write home about.

#ScribesAndMakers Day 15: Does your adjective from day one still fit? If not, what would you choose as of today?

I had to look back. I had said ‘Potential’.

I think that still fits.

#WritersCoffeeClub 15: Most painful part of the writing process?

Lack of collaboration.

For any creative endeavour there is a burst of energy and as that fire dwindles, the fear sets in and I have to overcome that to keep going. I find collaborating helps to combat that feeling and keeps me motivated.

The challenge with a novel is that it requires a lot of time and energy from a collaborator to read through different drafts. Finding folks who mesh with me is tough, too.

#WritersCoffeeClub 6/14. Talk about something you're willing to endure in order to write.

The decline of my mental health, apparently. 😬

This seems dramatic, but I will frequently burn myself out and thrust myself into very stressful situations for the sake my art.
