#ScribesAndMakers September 23: Choose a noun that is representative of you as a creative person.

Polymath. I am all over the place as a creator. I played viola for 8 years. I was a fine art painter for almost four decades, a photographer for one. I have been writing for my whole life, fiction […]

#ScribesAndMakers September 22: "Promotion day. Self or someone else. Or both."

My Embassy book series is what happens when a junior diplomat has to deal with a lot of weird aliens. It has heart, humor, and action. Book 4 will be out around the end of the year.

#ScribesAndMakers ~21 What character from one of your own books or someone else's would you want to spend a day with? What would you do?

The first answer that came to mind was Mosscap from Becky Chambers' Monk and Robot series. I would just enjoy walking around with Mosscap and hear their […]

Repossess?

In The Source of Fire, Jens gets his ship confiscated as a potential existential threat (which he's unreasonably indignant about, given the reason for this is something on the ship that he stole). Then the crew steal the ship back from the Customs men, but […]

At the end of a line in a programming language.

#ScribesAndMakers ~15 What's a situation where you feel a ';' definitely works better than a '.' ?

I'm not sure but I'm learning a lot from other people's answers.

#ScribesAndMakers ~ What's a situation where you feel a ';' definitely works better than a '.' ?

Lots of situations, this because when I profusely write on the page in a stream of consciousness style, then ';' is more that necessary, it adds some breathing space to the text and there is no '.'.

What's a situation where you feel a ';' definitely works better than a '.' ?

1. Where the rhythm and prosody of the sentence as if read aloud is better than breaking with a full stop.
2. Where the two clauses are linked enough. How linked? I know it when I see it.
3. In […]

#ScribesAndMakers ~14 What's your favorite type of story setting?

If you can grab my attention with your worldbuilding skills in the very beginning, I don't really care what the setting is.

I generally don't like postapocalyptic stuff these days but I am very much enjoying the TV version of […]

What [types of] story setting [do you prefer]?

I like ideas, so I like it when the setting of a story is rich with ideas in itself. I loved China Miéville's Perdido Street Station for that, and Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice series.

I also like a cosy setting in the […]
