#ScribesAndMakers 10.10 — Shameless self-promotion day.

#ScribesAndMakers 3.7 — Are you able to communicate in sign language?

I wish I could, actually. I only know a few phrases or words by heart.

#ScribesAndMakers 3.15 — Is the time you've had for creativity this month what you expected?

Not exactly. I lost a family member, someone I was very close with, and it's been a rather tough month, along with some other stuff that's going on as well. It's a struggle at the moment, but things *will* get better in the future. I'm staying positive.

#ScribesAndMakers 3.17 — What’s a creative habit you’ve wanted to adopt but haven’t yet?

For me, it's writing every single day, without fail, even if it's just a few sentences or paragraphs. Maybe someday that could be me. I either write nothing for a week or two, or I'm suddenly typing away like a madman, like I'm being hunted by a dark and scary god and my life actually depends on it. I wish there was a middle ground.

This quote suits the moment: "One day you're unstoppable and the next day you're staring at your keyboard like it personally betrayed you."

#ScribesAndMakers 3.18 — If your creative work could speak, what would it say about you?

That I love dark or morally gray characters. That I love mending broken relationships. I love "found family" situations, and friendships where nothing can break those two besties up, no matter what. I believe love truly exists and that it will always prevail in the end. That there's light in the darkness, and you just have to find it. Or even this: hope is everything, and we need it now more than ever.

#ScribesAndMakers 3.19 — How did you feel when you finish your last project?

Very good, actually. It was a shorter story, only a few chapters, and it felt great to finally wrap up the story and give my readers what I hoped was a satisfying ending. Thankfully, it was really well received and everyone was happy with it. It's always hard to say goodbye, but still.

#ScribesAndMakers 3.20 — Self-promotion day. Shame optional. Boost away!

I'm a podcast host and an indie romance author of many different genres and participate in a big number of zines (either for big charities or money for myself). Some of the zines are Doctor Who related things, but most are for original work: Paranormal Romance, Gothic Romance, SFF, Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, Horror, Romantasy, Fantasy, Dark Romance, etc. Aside from that, and while I write original stories, I've also written fanfiction for many different worlds (again, including #DoctorWho). The muse never runs dry. You can read my work for free over at the link down below.

You can find my weird and wonderful tales here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/agoodtuckering

I run my own hashtag for writers as well. It can be found here: #PennedPossibilities. It's a fun community! I'm here to help with the storytelling process.

Check out my show, #PandasDen, a paranormal podcast about mediumship, where we share stories and have spirit box sessions with occasional (okay, more than occasional) funny moments. My girlfriend AKA @aperfectsong often joins me.

#ScribesAndMakers 3.20 — What everyday object would you photograph as if it were art?

Any of the crystals that I have, and being a Pagan, I have a *huge* collection. They truly are art.

ScribesAndMakers 3.22 — Create a micro-story in six words.

I'm gonna cheat here. I'm going to write a micro-thingy about my current WIP, #WingsOfQuietLonging, not so much a micro-story. In fact, I've got two.

• Bound by fate, cursed love endures.

• Fangs bared, love lost in twilight.

#ScribesAndMakers 3.22 — Do you consider yourself a frood who knows where their towel is?

I have never been a well-put-together person in my life. That's definitely not a way to describe me. I have AuDHD and OCD, and I'm surviving MS. I'm a bit nutty but my friends say, all-around, I'm pretty lovable.
