Shamelessly stolen from @stevewestenra.bsky.social Get to know my characters! Pick a number from this list & I'll answer! I'll probably be answering mostly from CLIPPED but who knows? My characters control me, not the other way around. #Writersky #Authorsky #sff #Writingcommunity #indieauthor

#SFFChat Q4. Let's go to Elf Thing and meet Junkers, the hurdy gurdy-weilding bard who's not very good at his job. The theme is music/entertainer.

#SFFChat Q2 Either "We're all damaged, yay!" or "FUCK YEAH THE SWEET RELEASE OF DEAAAATH!"

#SFFChat Q1 I (almost) always seem to have music, an entertainer character or someone with a flair for showmanship. In Clipped it's [REDACTED] & also Sterling I guess. In Elf Thing it's Junkers, an elven bard who's not great at his job. In hypothetical space saga it's an intergalactic rockstar.

#SFFChat I'm K.Q. Watson aka Kyew, from Canada. One of the first stories I ever remember writing was a class assignment to personify something. I wrote about a happy little cobweb in a corner who was brutally torn apart as the family put up a Christmas Tree & the needles got all up in the web.

Was gonna add Clipped to Fable, Bookwyrm, Pagebound & Hardcover but they all make adding one single book an unintuitive chore. I don't wanna import my entire GR shelf! So anyway add Clipped to your TBR! Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/22... Storygraph: app.thestorygraph.com/books/2ba270...

Faith stopped in front of Zak, ratty wicker basket in hand. Inside was money, coins, necklaces, rings, scraps of copper, pearls, shiny stones, gems, open lockets empty of pictures, pocket watches that continued to tick. Clipped - Ch 18 #Writingcommunity #Booksky

#writingcommunity Technically Zak wants his son back but, let's go with justice. His son was exiled for being born different and Zak asked too many questions about the infallibility of God, which is a crime. His sense of justice doesn't mesh with that of his people so off with his wings.

Some weeks of book selling and marketing punch you in the teeth harder than others. And I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling it. So if you’re also having trouble with sales, post your books below for a boost! 📚💙

My favorite Star Wars character.

#WIPpit #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions In Clipped, Zak likes to go find a quiet place and have a smoke. Failing that, this is a dystopia after all, he likes to disassemble and reassemble his handgun. It keeps his mind sharp. He also likes board games. Also, sleep. Sleep makes it all go away.

#WIPPIT #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions CLIPPED has an entire playlist of over 100 songs. But if I had to choose only one... TalkTalk by A Perfect Circle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=do_f... Honourable mentions: Dear God - XTC, Logical Song - Supertramp, Just a Ride - Rishloo, Beautiful World - DEVO

#WIPpit #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions Let's pivot & talk about Elf Thing, though I'm re-sculpting its bones right now. Cide struggles with his memories, identity & longing for it all to end. Issues struggles with his self-perception & his former glory. Junkers is fine, he has no internal conflict.
