#WordWeavers 8/3: How do you approach stereotypes while creating characters?
Worrying too much about avoiding stereotypes is paralysing. I've done some sensitivity check-ins at points I can tell are iffy, but beyond that you can never please everyone, so just get on with it.

#WritersCoffeeClub 8/3: Do the seasons influence your writing?
Sleipnir's climate (very warm, 19-year year with little axial tilt) is definitely winter wish-fulfilment on my part.

#WritersCoffeeClub 7/3: What have you given up to write?
Reading time - and sometimes reading puts its foot down and confiscates my writing time anyway. Even then there are works I avoid because I worry they'll crowd out my own ideas for a long time after. That's a loss of a sort as well.

#WritersCoffeeClub 6/3: Is there a local writing community near you? Do you participate in it?
There might be, but no. It takes more than a coincidence of geography for me to give up my pseudonymity.

#WordWeavers 6/3: If you have several stories, which one should a new reader start with?
That would be book 1, Low Dawn. You can get it free for 2 more days!

#WritersCoffeeClub 4/3: Share a recent experience where something just 'clicked’.
I was badly stuck on the next step of the conflict in my WIP until I realized that my protagonists needed to fail at this step. Just totally eat shit. With that the story ran on rails for a good few chapters.

#WordWeavers 3/3: Introduce your MC without telling us their age, gender, job and who they are to others (e.g. friend, parent etc.)
You zoom out, in time and space.
You see footprints heading west from the easternmost settlement on the planet.
You see holes of various sizes in a glass desert. 1/3

#WritersCoffeeClub 3/3: On what are you unwilling to compromise?
I'm self-published, so any answer would be untested bragging - but I also went directly to selfpub without querying because I figured tradpub would want me to make my books less horny, less nerdy, and less queer.

Does your overall goal differ from project to project?
The specific beats I have in mind for each story differ, but they're all advancing a single continuous arc - in my original work so far, anyway.

Grapple with the end of a war and the uncertain shuffle into peace, and also (as always) get my blorbos laid ☺️

#WordWeavers 1/3: What is your greatest fear about your characters?
That I blow up, don't scramble fast enough to find a good enough agent, and have to see them played by white actors.
The prequisite of blowing up means it's not exactly a fear realistic enough to keep me up at night!

#WordWeavers 27/2: Which of your characters do you find especially interesting? Why?
Ilqun, the druid who became the linchpin judge for the Abolition Coalition. He is currently my most miserable 'good guy,' and I know how to get him to a happy ending but it will take a whole book of his own.

#WordWeavers 26/2: Who in your book is most like a real person you’ve loved IRL?
Kilum Ingaji's little son Alaiki is based on memories of my kids and niblings when they were babies. That's probably the closest.

#WritersCoffeeClub 26/2: Does your current WIP have an antagonist? Why or why not?
Yep! Most stories are more fun to read and write if you have a little guy (gender neutral) causing problems on purpose, and mine are no exception.

#WritersCoffeeClub 25/2: What’s a unique habit you have while writing?
I like to put music on, but it can't have English lyrics. I only have one language-processing pipe in my brain, I guess. So, instrumental only, or in other languages - and the latter can't be too clear or I sing along anyway.

Nah, I like them all. Even the ones who are terrible people are weirdly fun as a change of pace.
There ARE characters where I hesitate to attempt their POV, writing them from the inside as it were. 1/2

#FantasyIndiesFebruary 17. Book spice level preference
Drive the spice over in a cement mixer and open it over my plate. My hometown is FANFIC.
But while I'm bobbing around in the sauce I *will* be judging its flavour profile: plot, characterization, emotional connection, actual hotness, etc.

#WritersCoffeeClub 9/2: Do you subscribe to ‘show, don’t tell’? Why, or why not?
It's all telling, in the end. But it's usually more interesting to tell through actions or dialogue than through wall-of-text. Stories are more popular than essays for a reason.
