#ScribesAndMakers 06/22—If things don't go well with your creative project, do you give up or persevere?
Depends. I will persevere for a while, but I am not fond of banging my head against a wall. If the reward doesn't balance against the pain, I drop it.
#ScribesAndMakers 06/15—How is your creativity so far? Anything you want help with?
Considering how sick I have been the last three weeks, I am doing good. Lots fanfic flash, good progress on my main novel. Side serials looking good.
Help, someone to cook my dinners while I'm sick. What I have energy for is getting really old.
#ScribesAndMakers 06/11—Do you give any of your work away for free?
Lol it all on #AO3, #PIXIV, or here. You don't get any freer than that.
#ScribesAndMakers 6/9 Talk about the least read book from 6/8.
Regarding Saeki Sayaka by Iruma Hitoma
The spin-off novels from the manga/anime “Bloom into You” is the story of the much-adored Saeki Sayaka, the woman whose confession of love comes too late. Saeki-san, now a second-year university student, has a second chance to find love with Hara, an impulsive, perky co-ed.
This is an early entry into the realm of yuri about adult women. A charming, low-stakes slice-of-life story that provides the answer to the question, “But what about the other girl?” Based on Nio Nakatani’s characters, Iruma Hitoma of “Adachi to Shimamura” fame provides characters with depth and a charming romance. (Reading “Bloom into You” is not required to enjoy this series.)

#ScribesAndMakers 6/9 Talk about the least read book from 6/8.
Otherside Picnic by Miysawa Lori
Sorawo, a student of “true” supernatural stories, discovers a door into a new realm where she can finally be alone. Only to become prey to one of its inhabitants, the Kunekune. Rescued by the beautiful Toriko, the two become partners in exploring this land.
Inspired by the Russian novel “Roadside Picnic,” this is a lovely story of two women finding love as they face a string of fantastic creatures of Japanese internet fame. It is a wonderful blend of yuri, science fiction, and horror-adjacent adventure.
#ScribesAndMakers 8 - Books I have read:
Select ALL the books you have read from this list. Tomorrow my task is to sell the one that the fewest people have read. I hope I don't need to sell them all.
#ScribesAndMakers 25-06-02 How do you define your creative style? Part 3
* Irratic: Sometimes I'm into sometimes not.
* Escentric: I do urban photography especially of curiosities, decay, or contrasting nature with urban. (Very niche)
* Pragmatic: I use the tools at hand and the scenes at hand. No fancy equipment, no fancy processing, no special trips to photograph things. I invested nothing but the time to get good at using what is on hand.

#ScribesAndMakers 25-06-02 How do you define your creative style? Part 2
Previous Post: I defined the style of my writing.
Now, I will answer the literal question, “What is MY creative style?”
Meticulous, organized, focusing on internal thoughts, emotions, and lush backgrounds. Utilizing literate, neurotic, queer characters. Careful research and utilization of mythology. Striving for inclusivity within the range of my abilities to realistically portray the characters.
#ScribesAndMakers 25-06-02 How do you define your creative style?
Ornate, dreamlike, and otherworldly.
Atmospheric, wry, and layered with folkloric texture.
Following in the footsteps of authors such as: H.P. Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, Tanith Lee, Jack Vance, and Algernon Blackwood.
#ScribesAndMakers 06/01 What will you work on this month.
Finish Plague Forest arc and start Cult Chase and final arc.
#ScribesAndMakers 31/05: How did it go? Any changes you want to make next month?
I finished my basic objective, and not much of the bonus stuff. Instead, I wrote some side stories, drabble, and microfics.
I'm satisfied. I should easily finish the plague arc next month and start the cult chase.
#ScribesAndMakers 29 What is your proudest or best moment with your creative endeavor this month?
All of volume III is in RC candidate form. All that is a once-over proofing for last-minute mistakes and then post.
#ScribesAndMakers 2025.05.23 — If you make clothes for yourself or others, do you follow fashion trends?
In my hippy days, I kept a jeans jacket together by embroidering with multiple bright darning threads.
That is as close as I have come.
#ScribesAndMakers 28 Have you ever made an app?
I have written drivers and programs to test programs. They were applications. But not what is called an app these days,
#ScribesAndMakers May 27 Think of something really boring. Now try to describe it in an interesting way.
I looked down at the sink. Snow-white bubbles spilled over the frying pan lid. Rainbow slicks slid across the open water.
When I put my hands in the water, it was warm. It had cooled enough not to scorch me but hadn’t cooled too much. It was the right temperature to wash a baby in. But today there was no baby, just a grease pan.
Taking the frying pan, I scowled at the burnt crust on it. Time for Zen meditation on housework.
#ScribesAndMakers 5/26. Describe your creative workspace(s).
In one word: Cute
In multiple words: Messy desk in a room full of anime, manga, and idol merch.
#ScribesAndMakers 2025-05-25 part 2
I like best to capture hidden urban sights and/or contrast urban and nature. Some of my favorites. Not always others.

#ScribesAndMakers 2025-05-25 How does photography shape your perception of the world? What subjects or moments do you find most captivating to capture?
Through photography, I learned to look at little things and see their beauty or interest. Just a single life on a sidewalk can be a sublime image. I have found so many wonderful and interesting things in a 4 block radius I live in.
#ScribesAndMakers 24 May Do you have a favourite pair of socks? Are they lucky?
All my socks are heavy, padded wool blends. Ideally, they should be identical.
So no, I do not have a fav pair of socks. You will have to ask them if they feel lucky to be in my employ.
#ScribesAndMakers 2025-05-23: If you make clothes for yourself or others, do you follow fashion trends?
The closest I come is describing characters' clothes in great detail.
