Querying debut #hopepunk novel. Writing to make #scifi more inclusive, hopeful, character-driven, community-minded, & kind. To make the world a better place.

Is it possible that I am teaching myself this #ragtime song because I wrote a #scifi story about an immortal who loves him some Scott Joplin? Yes, yes it is. Hope you enjoy the first third of Maple Leaf Rag. #piano #scifibooks #debutnovel #hopepunk #writing #writingcommunity #music #nanowrimo

My characters all embody aspects of myself. They all have problems that I help them fix and heal from in their arcs.

Lexi: Quit their job b/c of moral outrage & now learning how to "do good" & "make a positive difference" in the world. (Yeah, it's right there in my name)

Where do you get inspiration for your characters personality?

Yourself? Fictional characters? People you know or celebrities? It just comes to you?

Has someone you've met ever reminded you of your character?

Recently plaited (i.e., braided) #bread for the 1st time, which got me thinking...

... And then attempting a Celtic heart knot #sourdough #bake. ❤️ Not sure the shape's that apparent though😅

Couldn't resist where I placed the first cut.💔

Happy early Love Day! (AKA Valentine's Day!)

Me: *I'm not posting a #sunrise pict today. Folks might be getting tired of them.*

Then me: *looks outside*

Then me: 🙄

How am I supposed to resist snapping a shot of this? Moments later, I'd called the whole family out.

✨Hope your week is off to a good start, wherever you are!✨

We have #chickens.

So if you like #videos of chickens, here you go 🤣

They get lots of food scraps. They love wilted lettuce & the unseasonably warm weather.

(Realized I'd posted picts of their #eggs, but never of the lovely ladies themselves.)

One of our old #dogs has a cameo.

Throwing this out there - I get very #solarpunk vibes from this area of Meow Wolf in #Denver, in an #alien jungle essentially.

Others feeling this?

This is "Numina" in the Denver Meow Wolf.

Asking for a friend:
Does #biscotti count as lunch? 😅

1st time baking biscotti. Only burnt the almonds once. 😅 Surprisingly quick & easy. And, of course, tasty.

And I'm sure totally nutrionally sufficient as a meal 👀

Repost with your favorite #feel-good show.

You know, the show you'd recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it, and who needs some authentic #positivity & #happiness in their life right now.

Also, #Zuko has the best character growth arc ever in TV history. Prove me wrong 🤣

HAPPY FRIDAY!
Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉

I admit, things don't feel so "happy" right now. And it’s easy to feel small & helpless.

But we can all try to do what we can for each other.

We can be that kind, caring voice a stranger needs to hear.

Stay strong. Stay safe.

Never plaited (i.e., braided) for a bake before.

So, for my first time, of course I had to try Paul's 8-stranded #bread technique from #GBBO. 😅

And, of course, with #sourdough.

Gotta say, feeling proud for my first attempt.

Story time:
In Colorado, it warmed up a few weeks ago. So, our confused #chickens are laying again.

So, baked this #sourdough brioche.

Second time ever baking a brioche.

Recipe from the book Sourdough by Science.

Because it's a day that ends in -y, we are #DistractionBaking 😅

First ever attempt at #sourdough pretzels. Could have used longer in the oven to turn more golden brown, & twisting 'twas horrendous, but I'll take it.

You made it! 🎉🎉🎉

Alright, folks, I'm curious to hear- what helps you stay #positive?

Besides trying to eat right, get sleep, & exercise (we can try, right?), what routines/habits help you stay grounded & productive?

Me: Baking, piano, & a fruit salad while I write.

Hbu?
