#WritersCoffeeClub 24th July ~ Should a reader be forewarned about any and all erotic content, no matter how small?
No. If it's one scene, in an 80k book, that possibly elicits some form of arousal in a handful of readers, I'm going to have to say no. Otherwise, the warning may as well say, "WARNING: Contains Words".

#WritersCoffeeClub 31st July ~ End of the month roundup: What will you do differently next month?
Nothing. I'm on a roll, and I think I can finish my shoddily written, poorly crafted, terribly constructed, wonderful first draft.

#ScribesAndMakers 29th July ~ From soft to hard, where do your tastes fall on the Science Fiction scale?
All of it.
As long as something about the piece is engaging, I throw myself into a state of suspended disbelief, so anything goes.

My early drafts, obviously. Apart from that, I'm not great with finding the perfect simile, like...

#WritersCoffeeClub 27th July ~ What's a writerly growing pain you're experiencing right now?
I've just come out of the planning phase and I'm heading towards the mundane midpoint. I've heard tales about a drop in writerly momentum...

#WordWeavers 22nd July ~ If your MC could steal one thing without consequences, what would it be?
An apple from a Tuesday in 2009... unfortunately, stealing it will be the undoing of the multiverse.

About Me
Pronouns: Author | Writer | Human

Why Nostr:
I've been told I should use Nostr because creatives are being paid directly for their work. I've also been told I should accept Bitcoin for the stories I create.
So, here I am, using Nostr and accepting sats for stories.

Bio:
I'm a human-generated self-published author and - because I enjoy self-flagellation - a writing competition enthusiast.
I write science/speculative fiction, sprinkled with a little horror, thriller and/or noir, all of which explores social mobility through character and choice.
