#ScribesAndMakers 12/4—Create a poll with three words that appear in your WIP and one that doesn't. Ask people to guess the one that doesn't.

(This is for Space Princess Star):

#ScribesAndMakers May 10 - If your project will be part of a series, do you know that before you start?

I write for a living so nothing gets to be part of a series unless it sells and the initial sales justify a least one sequel.

Any stand-alone I write is intended to flow into sequels or a series—but ever since "Iron Sunrise" I've done my best not to prematurely truncate a series under my readers. (I failed with "Neptune's Brood" b/c my US publisher was taken over and trashed by idiots.)

#ScribesAndMakers Jul 8: How many spaces do you like after a period/full stop?

Listen this is the Year of our Lord 2026 and nearly all of us are typing on computers, not a goddamn Smith-Corona, and you will use ONE (1) space after the period like a modern homo sapiens.

#ScribesAndMakers 19 May: You get locked in Ikea for a week. What will you build?

A MODEL OF THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA MADE OUT OF SWEDISH MEATBALLS

A pyramid of all the meatballs in the store, with a core of lingonberry jam so that when they try to dismantle the reeking pile of unrefrigerated meat a week later it bleeds all over the floor as it collapses.

#ScribesAndMakers 7/4 Sample?

This is the beginning of The Last Princes, my latest release. It's a Steampunk short story, currently on sale for 99ct.

You can grab it directly from my store, without DRM, delivery by BookFunnel:

#ScribesAndMakers 16. Create a poll listing 2-3 objects that have featured in your work and one that hasn't. Ask people to pick the one that hasn't.

Pick the one that is not featured:

#ScribesAndMakers 4th Sept: Reverse of last month's question: if e-books stopped being produced, how much would you miss them?

It'd be personally devastating. Not only are they about 50% of my book sales, so a corresponding part of my income—my eyesight is so piss-poor that I mostly can't read books on paper any more! The typefaces are too small (publishers don't like to waste money on stuff like paper and ink that could be taken as profits instead).

#ScribesAndMakers 25 Do you use different accounts for different creative purposes?

I do not have multiple accounts in Mastodon or elsewhere but every service seems to foster different kind of environment that may veer my activities to direction that are different from elsewhere.

I'll be at the Fraser River Literary Festival in Port Coquitlam BC, Canada, Sun Nov 1! If you're curious about ecofiction, come by my table and have a chat; my trilogy paperbacks will be for sale, including The Erenwine Agenda: A Hydraulic Fracturing Love Story, Otter Coast: A Medical Marijuana Mystery, and the latest novel, Rail: A High Speed Adventure. Looking forward to inspiring conversations! #BookFair #BookFestival #CanLit #Ecofiction #IndieAuthor #IndiePublisher #LiteraryFestival #ScribesAndMakers #SupportSmallBusiness

#ScribesAndMakers November 3. Create a poll about a choice you are trying to make with your current project, or one you recently made. List the options you are considering/considered.

Current WIP really needs:

#ScribesAndMakers #WritingCommunity

7th Nov 2026. Are you participating in novel writing month? Did you ever participate in NaNoWriMo, and if so, is there anything you miss about it?

I did Nano twice, in 2007/8, the last years before I got my first publishing contracts. I've been aware of all the controversies and concerns surrounding it, including its embrace of AI. Nowadays I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

#ScribesAndMakers 7Nov—Are you participating in novel writing month? Did you ever participate in NaNoWriMo, and if so, is there anything you miss about it?

Not this year. I won at NaNo once or twice but I often travel I'm November and I don't write while I'm on the road.

Also I feel no need to "prove" myself that way since I death-marched the first draft of "The Annihilation Score" (at 110,000 words) in 18 days one July (then blew that year's NaNo).
