#ScribesAndMakers 25, Have you ever DJed? Would you want to?

Ha, this took me way too long:

What's a djed? Is that a person. D. Jed? Some sort of meme I missed, some epically cancelled author's faux par?

So, no. We do have a curious vinyl collection, but my other half gets nervous when I change the precious records. I can never do so delicately enough. So, I'll focus on diversifying the collection.

Our latest addition; Music for plants! 💚

#WordWeavers 14, Choose a character's experience that you'd like to have.

Well, I have written some utterly transcendental and magical orgasms.

Oneiroi can perform a spell that shares senses. Making the trio able to feel each other's physical sensations. Which got them in such a blissful state, Freya accidentally cast a spell to let all the wood in the house sprout branches while Oneiroi accidentally gave the entire city wet dreams, even those who weren't asleep.

Things are bleak, the world needs more googly eyes, asap.

#thicktrunktuesday #googlyeyes

We spend more time caring for our teeth than our mental health. Imagine if we all spent a few minutes caring for our minds every morning and evening, and got a mental check-up every few months. How different would the world be? Do our minds not deserve at least the same diligence and care as our teeth?

#writersCoffeeClub 1, Are there ethical principles fiction must adhere to?

In the work, no. In the motivation for its creation and its effects, yes.

I agree that the concept of good and evil only really exists as subjective classification. That's the problem. The world is portrayed in present tense, closed third. The backstories aren't just for the readers, the characters deal with the same information. So, either the narrator or the MC should have some sort of classification of good/evil. Since they're both characters who should not have unlimited empathy and understanding.

I have a load of antagonists with detailed backgrounds and depth to their characters who find themselves opposing the MC. Which is nice, but it is now making my MC and narrator feel overly understanding. It makes the world seem as if there aren't really any unkind or evil people. A bit like how there are no real monsters in Scooby-Doo. I suppose I want depth without an understandable motivation. Evil, but interesting...

#PennedPossibilities 681, Evil vs Antagonist

While I really want to write an evil wanker, my brain doesn't do binary things like good/evil very well, so I always end up with more of an antagonist.

Even the child eating demon has an intricate, tragic origin. I don't always like this about my writing. Why do I have such a natural empathy for the devil? It's a little too easy to fill in the background blanks and humanize evil. It's too Hollywood for my taste.

It's nice to greet old friends in my garden. The salad-bowl pond is still very much occupied by my cranky amphibian buddy.

#WritersCoffeeClub How do you get proofreaders/editors if you don’t pay them?

The same way they get free design, formatting, illustration work and proofreading from me. 💜

#PennedPossibilities Would your MC sacrifice something to save the life of someone they love?

There is something dangerous about a cosmically powerful, loving mother. Part of Freya's heart resides in vulnerable, mischievous youngsters. When it shatters, all the Realms shatter with it. She'll rip reality a new one for their sakes, forcing her to reignite time and restart her story.

We can forget such things in the chaos of daily life stress.

I'm absolutely delighted the timing of our existence aligned, and we get to connect the way we do. You always make me smile.

Dear random Fedi friend. Our spirits crashed into existence from the stars, we're the lucky mud that gets to sit up, marvel at the universe and wave at each other. We've grown, we've changed, as the ever shifting phenomena we all are. Despite its ephemeral, heavy, and tragic nature, life in shared wonderment is majestic, and I am so glad you're here. 💜

Dear neighbour lady,

I don’t know why I can never get our micro-interactions right.

Initially, I greeted you too cheerfully, and you tutted me as I walked past. Next, I nodded politely with a smile, and you tutted when we passed. Then I wished you a good morning in the most neutral way possible, yet you still tutted when we passed.

I’m done trying to discover what it is that offends you, so next time, I will do a little dance and twirl as I politely inform you that I have run out of fucks.💜
