#WordWeavers Day 4: Describe an uncomfortable situation a character experiences.

Almost every time Tink talks to someone...she tends to say what's on her mind, even if it's not exactly socially correct.

#writersCoffeeClub: Share a tool of your trade.

Writing: ellipsus, blogger

Painting: My husband got me this lovely Fuumuui Travel Set of Watercolour brushes for our anniversary. It's nice for small paintings on the go.

North: NEW YEAR

it's overwhelming
the panic in the #newyear
breathe deep, brace yourself

South: BEACH

old whale on the #beach
as it flails in its death throes
distracts from all else

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 3. How do you come up with the titles for your works?

I wish I could tell you. Titles are usually the LAST thing I come with. I have to see what the story is all about, THEN it comes to me.

#Wordweavers Day 3 'What does the way your MC talks reveal about them?'

Tink wants people to believe she's a lot more sophisticated than she really is, especially since she works with technology. There's still a social stigma in her world with "backwater accents".

A certain type of man sees challenges to his power where there are none. But to him, he feels justified. #blog #writing #writingcommunity #sifaswriting #poetry #sifasreallife

#WordWeavers Day 2. Jan How does your MC talk? Describe their voice and speech.

Tink grew up in a lower-class family and her speech reflects a lot of slang and heavy accents. But once she starts traveling, she hides her accent as much as she can. She starts talking in a higher register around her friends. But if she's really relaxed (or drunk) her accent comes out.

North: PLOVER

The bird wades shallow
a lone #plover looks for food
the wind blows ripples

South: CORNFLOWER

plant the blue #cornflower
for all the birds and the bees
balance of nature

North: THREAD

red #thread stretches far
new year is here, one comes
fire horse gallops

South: GRAPES

#grapes pressed into wine
spring's growth to summer vintage
pour into glasses

#ScribesAndMakers Day 1. Happy New Year! Does the change to a new calendar year affect your creativity in any way?

New year, new attitude.

I've learned to temper my expectations on how much I can realistically accomplish.

#WordWeavers Day 1: What are your wildest (writing-related) dreams for this year?

Finish a project. 😁

#writing #writingcommunity

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 1 - What's the greatest benefit you've taken from the writing community online?

The social aspect. Writing can be a solitary thing, and some writers are fine with that. But I enjoy getting to talk with other writers, share ideas and resources.
