#ScribesAndMakers 14 #TTMD featured creator Steve Degroof @degroof@mastodon.social
Hi. I've just finished the short story "Dandelion Seeds" and enjoyed it. How long did you spend writing each of the short stories that started with the first line on Twitter? I mean, once you had the first line, did each story come to you quickly? Do you still use the "first draft is good enough" writing technique?

#ScribesAndMakers •13 Our featured creator writes both novels and short stories. How do you feel about short fiction? Do you read short stories as often as novels?
I love short fiction! I don't read short stories as often as novels. I don't necessarily see or hear about them that much.

#ScribesAndMakers •12 Our featured creator has an em dash key on his keyboard. Do you do any customizations for your creativity?
I don't have a customized keyboard. I have a steampunk camera strap on my Canon Rebel that was gifted to me. Oh! And I've made some of my own camera filters using yogurt container tops and washi tape and shelf liner. It wasn't my idea but I was inspired by: https://craftedincarhartt.wordpress.com/2014/09/30/photography-hacks-9-diy-camera-filters/

I want to help promote a gorgeous short documentary that also happens to be about one of my friends, Prajna Paramita Choudhury. For Women's History month, "PARAMITA" is available to view online. This was my testimonial after I saw it for the first time:
”I felt like I was watching a visual prayer that you invited us into…. To see an affirming queer story is healing for all of us that didn’t get that” - Denise C, Acupuncturist

#ScribesAndMakers 11 Our featured creator does 3D printing. Have you ever? (Share a pic)
No, I haven't. Some of my friends have 3D-printed things and given them to me as gifts.

#ScribesAndMakers •10 Reveal the answer to yesterday's poll
Most of you guessed the right answer was C and you were correct! They were lines from “Salt then Sour then Sweet” written by Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlisle with words by the late Andrea Gibson. I highly recommend the documentary “Come See Me In the Good Light” about Andrea and their wife Meghan. That song was in the film but I only just found out about how it was written with snippets of Andrea’s poetry.

#ScribesAndMakers 8 Is there a country other than your own that influences your creativity?
For photography, that depends entirely on what country I'm visiting. Most recently it was New Zealand last May.

#ScribesAndMakers 7 Are you able to communicate in sign language?
Sadly, no but I would like to learn. I have a good friend who is deaf who has an online platform to teach it. I should take them up on the offer to study it.

Today was the first time anyone spammed a post I made. They were soliciting work. I can't find a way to delete their comment on my post but I was able to block them, so that's something.
