Am I the only one who doesn't care about all these "MAGA feuds"? Amusing? Sure. Unexpected? No. Promising? Hell no. Like orcs in a Tolkien book, they'll still band together to destroy a non-MAGA whenever they encounter one.

#PennedPossibilities Imposter 3 Tell us something wholesome about any of your stories or characters. The central marketplace in Quenelle is a maze, built of tall flowering hedges, with many twists & turns, spiraling into a common center. It makes shopping trips more of an event where you have to slow down, explore, & socialize rather than rush through. There are benches to sit, rest, & chat if you need a break. People often wear silly shopping hats, fashioned like beasts or plants.

#WordWeavers Dec 19 What’s the first thing readers learn about your MC? In the first chapter, they learn: her name, a bit of her history/ how she got here, who her friends are, & that she's stuck in a library computer console.

#ScribesAndMakers Dec 19 How often do you have time (or make time) to just sit and think? Not about a project or a problem, but just idle thinking. My brain isn't wired for idle thinking 🤷 When I was younger I used to try to meditate. That didn't work well. Best way I've found to calm the internal chatter is movement. Dancing or walking have worked best through the years. Sitting still makes it worse.
