  π16 Our next featured creator is a baker. Describe a baked good you enjoy. I try not to eat baked goods often anymore because of my blood sugar, but probably the hardest to resist is a chocolate chip cookie, firm around the edges and chewy in the middle, with a balanced chip to cookie ratio. #ScribesAndMakers

  π3 We have some new people in the community. Re/Introduce yourself and tell us about your creative work. Walter Thinman is a pen name for my creative work, which includes running this hashtag with help from @gahlearner@sunny.garden and @willelm@indieauthors.social , a self-published novel out in the world (I'm doing a giveaway this month if you're interested https://indieauthors.social/@saposcat/116844555289716563), a to-be-self-published novel in the works with contributions from @john...

  № 29 Our next featured creator has done creative work with math(s). Does math(s) ever feature in any way in your creative work? I have taken inspiration from Fermat's Last Theorem, but not the mathematical part of it. I can't think of anything else. #ScribesAndMakers

  @SuzyShearer@mastodon.au did the dream reveal the killer, or did you have to figure that out in your writing process?

  № 4 How many songs are there where you know all the lyrics by heart? Honestly, not that many. Mostly songs that don't have many words. I usually know some but not all of the words to songs I like. #ScribesAndMakers

  № 3 When you see the word 'read', is your first instinct to read it as present tense or past tense? Present tense, for sure. I'm not the biggest fan of words I have to know the context before I know how to pronounce it. #ScribesAndMakers

  ∆ 29. Someone else promotion day. Tell us about someone else's work. Let's boost away. Once I finish up my current book I'm jumping into the world of Ontyre with Trust in the Forgotten by @CA_Hawthorne You can learn more about her books on her website. https://christinahawthorne.wordpress.com/ #ScribesAndMakers

  ∆ 25. Our featured creator does "a bit of educational activism on the side." Do you do any activism through your creative work? I often work issues that are meaningful to me into the story, but I don't think of it as activism. I think of my writing as more likely to connect with people who share my views than change minds, but I'd certainly be happy if someone changed their views because of something I wrote. #ScribesAndMakers

  @grahamefleming@c.im I was looking at a display over the weekend showing all the things that killed more people in a year than sharks do, and it said vending machines kill 3 a year, which makes me wonder what people are doing with vending machines. On the one hand, I accept statistics and tend to believe reassurances that things are basically safe, but I also tend to like the 0% odds of being killed by a shark when I'm not in water where they are (along with my near zero odds of being kille...

  @grahamefleming@c.im I've seen images of drive in where people are watching from inflatables in a pool and it made me think what a way to experience that movie.

  @paranoiapen@mas.to okay, that makes sense. On first read they all sound like creative activities, but I definitely see where you're coming from.

  @paranoiapen@mas.to what about knitting, sewing, and fiddle playing feels less creative to you?

  @SuzyShearer@mastodon.au I think your bbq is what we call a grill. A griddle is mostly used for breakfasty foods.

  28. Do you ever sacrifice blunt clarity for prose that flows well? Yes, that's my tendency. On occasion I might sacrifice flow for clarity, but most of the time I go with what I think flows well. #WritersCoffeeClub

  17 What’s a creative habit you’ve wanted to adopt but haven’t yet? A routine. I don't know that I ever will, but it's something I've often thought would be beneficial. #ScribesAndMakers

  #WritersCoffeeClub 14. Do you think readers want new experiences in structure or narrative, or do they prefer what's familiar? I don't feel like I have any sense at all of what readers want. My guess is they want novelty within a familiar structure. Don't just give us the same old thing, but don't leave us rudderless either.

  #WritersCoffeeClub Do you prefer to write complex, intricate plots, or more straightforward ones? Plots? What are those? Seriously, though, I strive for complexity through a combination of character, world, and story.
