Reminder: @HeliaXyana will be our featured creator this Sunday, the 6th of April.
As part of a response to today's question about accepting compliments, she gave an excellent description of the sort of creator she is:
I am quirky, clever, and make interesting, original, and beautiful things.
I couldn't agree more.
We invite you to join us in asking her questions by @ tagging her and adding #ScribesAndMakers and #TTMD
I'm copying @saposcat 's reminder from yesterday so I can pin it.
On April 6 we welcome whimsical witch Lydia VVinters as our next featured creator. She is a very talented visual artist and illustrator, nature photographer, and fantasy writer. Check out her profile or #SAMInfo to learn more about her. If you would like to join in asking questions, please tag @HeliaXyana and add #ScribesAndMakers and #TTMD.

I thought today's questions were great, though apparently the magic of Mastodon federation did play havoc with whether I saw your question or not. I did end up searching the tags and making a tagged column in the advanced web interface, and each time I kept on sweeping up new questions
I think I got all your questions, but I still might have missed one. If I missed it, please tag it to @sfwrtr and ask again! I'll retag it to the hashtags. Don't be shy.
I wrote 20 main replies. Scrivener lets me estimate that at 5,000 words.
Thank you everyone.
Thanks to everyone who participated in #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD today! There were so many great questions for @sfwrtr . It's great to see such an involved community.

Dear RS, could you choose one among your stories that's your favorite? Which one?
I could. It's a fan fiction novel, however, and I don't want to mix this pen name (the SF and Fantasy commercial author) with the other pen name. The good news is the plot lines and the major characters are my creation. I am rewriting many of the stories totally in my own universe, now.

Dear RS, could you choose one among your stories that's your favorite? Which one?
Whilst I try to only rarely cross-announce on the various writer challenge game hashtags I frequent, I'm doing so because March 30th, today, I am answering questions asked of me on Talk To Me Day hosted by Scribes and Makers. To ask, please include a question and these three items:
#ScribesAndMakers #TTMD @sfwrtr
Follow the two hashtags to participate in the answers and fun.
Here's the announcement: https://indieauthors.social/@saposcat/114240655183968909

On 3/30 feminist SFF writer @sfwrtr will be our first featured creator from the community. RS created #EngenderedWriting and this month worked on #MarsNeededWomen. Please do not ask RS to reveal their gender, but they are happy to answer gender related questions and appreciate questions about grammar-B writing style, rhetoric, and elocution. More info in pinned profile posts or search #SAMInfo. If you ask a question, please tag RS in and add the hashtags #ScribesAndMakers and #TTMD
It’s past midnight where I live. Here beginneth the very first Talk To Me Day, the beta run. Cometh forth with thy questions, ye Scribes and Makers. @saposcat shall answer.
(Sorry, don’t know what got into me.) Anyway, my question:
***A while ago, you mentioned family art night in one of your posts. How exactly does that work? Got pictures?***
If you want to ask questions on Talk To Me Day, and don't know where to start, there's a hashtag #SAMInfo - that gets you to my replies to all the people who introduced their activities on February 15. There's a lot of info there.
This, people's profiles, their webpages, and maybe their posts should give you a good idea about their creative activities.
And if you can't come up with your own questions, you can always join other conversations.
I'll pin this post too.
I will pin this to my profile. Information about Talk To Me Day #TTMD can also be found on our website, https://write.as/scribesandmakers/about
On 3/16 @saposcat will do a beta run as our featured creator. Along with coming up with the idea for this hashtag, he has two WIPs he hopes to self-publish. Please help make his day fun by asking him a question. He appreciates absurd, oddball, humorous, serious, philosophical, & mundane questions, but please no "gotcha" questions like what magazines do you read or what did you have for breakfast. If you ask a question, please tag him in and add the hashtags
