#ScribesAndMakers Day 5: Have you ever worked with collage?

Yes! I was at a women's retreat and we did collage as part of a creative exercise.

Now I use found objects, paint and stickers in my collage art.

#WordWeavers Day 5: Is your MC aware of their flaw?

Jhana is. She's often the one people look to for leadership, and the one who has to make the decisions. Sometimes she doesn't have the choice but to go with what she knows.

Tink sometimes isn't. Her attitude is "This is how I look at it, and if you don't like it, that's on you."

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 5
Have you taken inspiration from something that could have happened but didn't?

Yup. How is history different if we went down another path? How would our lives change? For the better? The worse?

It's that uncertainty that can inspire a brand new story.

North: BREEZE

scent carried softly
promise of a liaison
marked upon the #breeze

South: PINE

smell of his perfume
a clean and woodsy #pine smell
smile and remember

#WordWeavers Day 4. What's your MC's critical flaw?

Jhana and Tink share a couple of flaws. The biggest one is Pride. They think they know what's best for people, and never think to actually ask if that's what they really want. They think they have all the answers.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 4. Is there a scene or a character or even a plot you regret adding to a finished work?

Yeah, there are a few scenes in previous work that I'd probably rework and do differently, now that enough time has passed.

#ScribesAndMakers Day 4: How many songs are there where you know all the lyrics by heart?

Quite a bit. I used to be in several choirs and I play all kinds of music.

North: WAVE

a dark snow-capped #wave
foam hisses upon the beach
part of the cycle

South: RAKE

when the leaves fall down
my autumn meditation
#rake them into piles
