Ghosts, robots, feelings, books, comics, moss, Star Trek. She/they. Bi/pan. 40ish.

I missed my novel writing group call πŸ™ But I did manage to meet up with the excellent nostr:npub19zk4yqup552zetey9wkymdrt66j4fvdqttu7drasheexl0e2w9aq46ynfj for a drink around the corner πŸ™‚

nostr:npub1m3yycjz7vy8s9h84k552lj8r2744f96vxgkrefdfxke7gn0rryqqm2lm5r no idea! I would guess it's natural. Just a pattern in the bark worn in by the weather maybe

Hi nostr:npub1kkpqaymaay95q7h5ytavpud4p77j90x2nd6qyk5ta9k82sccgauss65sfx! I've been considering the Wayward Writers Academy. Are there any classes that were particularly helpful to you?

nostr:npub17aqwuchu970u45x9az7vfxccn6h90k0q5d437x0zu4jftyrahaksy0mmj8

nostr:npub1yg3k7vqq2xxnyykgl45hrkt5hr9weuffxuzjzs8exdeahwdvmy0smqjh0c ooh, Cat's novel writing classes - Writing Your Way In To Your Novel and First Draft Novel Blues - have been massively helpful to me! And all the guest classes have been good too

While I remember, if you're writing #SFF nostr:npub17aqwuchu970u45x9az7vfxccn6h90k0q5d437x0zu4jftyrahaksy0mmj8's Wayward Writers academy has been massively helpful for me, especially the live classes and the Discord server. The story I just sold and many others were definitely improved by the Wayward crit club! http://www.kittywumpus.net/blog/academy/

Yesterday another friend and I went to a fabric sale at the Forest Recycling Project in Walthamstow (pics pinched from their insta) https://frpuk.org/

#reuse #recycle #haberdashery #fabric

Oh damn I think I worked it out? I stopped trying to think about symbolism and instead imagined myself standing on a spaceship looking at this thing and how I would feel in that situation. I wrote down all the feelings and then followed the one that felt the strongest... and now I know what the poem's about! πŸ˜ƒ Wild!

I have a half-baked idea for a poem that I'm struggling with. I have an image, and some words describing the image nicely enough. But I have no idea what it *means*. There's no message attached to it, so I'm finding it hard to move forward.

Hey nostr:npub1r28fu03adttjw6mh9sss369ez50mg6y9h2q4x7932tlfxpwenyrspu2j0a is open for speculative poetry submissions tomorrow until 21 August https://www.uncannymagazine.com/submissions/

nostr:npub1vtkdzmm9hfgtygdwa2xxnx5x48v5q9x60j2dn5wdav9dy0vk6c5s59ykyh Lovely! I hope to make a quilt one day but I'm not sure I have the patience πŸ˜„

No idea if this will be of interest to anyone else but I thought it might be nice to share it rather than leave it mouldering in a folder!
