#writerscoffeeclub Apr 22: Change one word in the first sentence of a famous novel to change its meaning.

Marley was Dad, to begin with.

#WordWeavers 4/22: What two senses are the most natural for you to write?

Sight and sound. Taste and smell are more difficult to convey in words, but it can be done with some effort.

#wordweavers Apr 19: Do you tend to connect with your MCs or antagonists more?

MCs. Why? Because sometimes the antagonist is time, or a natural disaster (I wrote a book set in Pompeii, for crying out loud). There's not a lot of connecting to do in that case.

There are characters who are antagonistic, to be sure, but I keep in mind that everyone thinks what they're doing is right/righteous, so I try to show the reasoning.

I think trophy hunters are psychotic. Because think about it. These people are in it for the "sport" of killing. The sport. Just killing to kill.

@Adam_Cadmon1 I grew up in a family of subsistence hunters, and I couldn't agree with you more. There is a huge difference between putting food on the table and 'bagging a trophy.'

#WordWeavers 18: Do you write primarily in the same genre you read as a child?

I was a voracious reader across genres ... but the thing that suddenly occurred to me was how much I loved Victoria Holt's gothic novels as a tween (although we didn't have that term then) and teen. Reading Anya Seton's "Green Darkness" as a teenager made me a historical fiction fan for life ... and that's the primary genre I write. So, the answer is "yes, and ..."

The Supreme Court has made horrible decisions in recent years, and it's impossible to top Dobbs for harm caused ... but I’m scared that the decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson and what comes after will break my heart completely 😢

@peterbutler I grew up in Oregon. Grants Pass has always been ... something. The utter lack of compassion being shown to our unhoused brothers and sisters in all of these cases is sickening.

#WordWeavers 4.12 — What communities play a role in your story?

Both modern-day and ancient Pompeii ... particularly the household of Julia Felix in the latter case.

Via Kyle Griffin:

The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by three Republican congressmen — Andrew Clyde, Lloyd Smucker, and former Rep. Louie Gohmert — who were fined $5,000 each by the House for dodging security scanners installed after Jan. 6. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/04/15/supreme-court-republicans-house-security-jan-6/73281636007/

@GottaLaff Once again, I am reminded of an old friend from the Usenet days who used "dumb as a box of Gohmerts" as an insult.

#PennedPossibilities 274 — What therapeutic practices help you get into the right headspace for writing?

I use music related to the story. I also spend a lot of "thought time" and do both primary and secondary source research.

Finally, I have learned to be gentle with myself. Living with chronic pain and autoimmune diseases means that some days the number of words will be zero. Other days, it may be 1000. One size never fits all.

  1. Do you feature real-world political and social issues in your work?

I do, actually. I deal with prejudice/bigotry, among other things. I also addressed the pandemic in one of my novellas.
