#PennedPossibilities 908: What was the last reason why your SC saw a “doctor” or someone in the medical field?

Hard to explain the whole situation, but she was knocked out by telepathy and brought to an infirmary where they woke her up with telepathy. It was a sham, though. She wasn't hurt.

#WritersCoffeeClub Jan 21: When writing about unpleasant feelings, how do you avoid alienating the readers entirely?

I didn't realize that was the goal! I lean right into those feelings. There's something sour-sweet about it. It hurts, but it's gratifying.

#WordWeavers Jan 21. If in the middle of the book your MC discovered a foundling, what would they do with it?

Keep it away from the paramilitary child-soldier cult she's been abducted into. Unless she "found" it *in* the cult, in which case... gah. That's a bad scene.

Science fiction other than Star Trek is discussed, through a discussion on ethics, trauma, equality, oppression, and ontology.

Been a few months since we hit up our local craft brewery. Way too long.

My go to beer was out but tried (and am enjoying) a Honey Lager with Oolong Tea named Snow Panda.

It’s not Blackberry Smoke, but might be my new backup beer.

Oh and got a thousand words written.

Most read poem this month says a lot more about my readers than about me. I haven't been writing or thinking with much insightful creativity this month.

#PennedPossibilities 907 Does your MC have any phobias or irrational fears? What is the origin of this?

No irrational ones that I've encountered. Lots of very rational ones, mind you.

#PennedPossibilities 906: What is your SC’s response to stress?

River: panic
Brant: check out
Sim: tough-guy persona

#Wordweavers Jan 20: Do you make use of weather in your story? If so, how?

When my protagonist, Grace, returns to Vancouver after having been held prisoner in a paramilitary cult, she walks out onto the street and feels the rain on her head for the first time in two years. I tried to really get into the feeling of rain hitting your head and soaking into your clothes. Rain = home.

#WordWeavers Jan 19: Who is the most moral character in your story?

River, my little hippie girl. She voices my own mature morality but in the language of a ten-year-old. My lead, Grace, is the most *righteous*, but that's not the same. :)

#WritersCoffeeClub Jan 20 Figuratively speaking, do you travel with the caravan or solo over the hills?

I tend to solo, I'd rather caravan.

#WritersCoffeeClub Jan 19: Talk about something (even if v. small!) from your own life that made it onto the page.

The most specific thing I can say is bad teaching. I'm a prof by trade, and teaching is the most fun part of the job, so I take a certain delight in showcasing how a lot of "traditional" teaching methods are on a scale of useless to traumatizing.

#ScribesAndMakers Jan 20: When it comes to theatre, do your prefer tragedy or comedy?

I don't really prefer one over the other, but if it's a "that's all you get for the rest of your life" situation, then I choose comedy because I can always use a laugh, but I have to be In A Mood to watch the hero slowly destroy himself (occasionally herself).

#ScribesAndMakers Jan 19. Have you ever experienced interactive art? If so, can you tell us about it?

A lifetime of D&D. Loads of theatre sports in high school. Frankly, any performance is interactive since you're in the room with the audience, and their mood *matters* to the show.
