I find most Western cakes are saturated with so much sugar! Way too sweet. There's a lovely Hungarian walnut cake I used to get in a little shop in London. Been trying to find something like it ever since I moved to Tasmania.

Do you need to finish a work before starting another? Why (or why not)?
Two works ongoing. Other bits pop up.
Ideas don't necessarily come in order, on demand. Writing about one thing will trigger a realisation about something else. A lot of that is just junk, but it's hard to tell in the moment what's junk and what's useful, so I write it all down.

I remember, way back when, the daemon used to scream when we used it to summon the internet. It's all safely hidden behind wires and shiny boxes, now. But the daemon is still there, screaming so high-pitched we can't even hear it anymore.
Maybe it was trying to warn us about something...

Your character's mode of transportation may be closely related to their personality, enhancing and emphasising certain aspects. Or it might be a stark contrast, revealing some inner life, or hidden aspect.

The Chinese ones are especially notorious for overestimating range. I have an Atto 3 premium and it merrily shows me 480km of range every time I charge it. I might get close to that driving carefully around town, but I live in rural Tasmania, so I'm mostly driving highways. I can get maybe 350km on a nice, summers day. More like 300km, which is enough to drive me down to Hobart from Deloraine, so no complaints.

How frequently do other languages (or conlangs) appear in your writing?
Cruel Provocations is set in a Steampunk southern France, and bits of French appear in that, along with English translations of specifically French phrases.
Somebody Keeps Callin' has our heroine encountering Polish criminals who speak their own language a bit.
Desolation: The Overdue Library is SciFi, but has some invented phrases specific to the planet and circumstances.

@npub1ppe…qv2g So tell me, she who knows, I've got some bugs coming up in the next section of my series of novellas. What's a good documentary on ant behaviour, possibly bees, for me to steal some cool bits for my alien bugs? My characters will be literally crawling into the nest, so I need a good primer. A lecture recorded at a university might also work.

Really what you need is a robot book butler with subsidiary drones that can bring it any book you're thinking of and hand it to you almost before you've thought of it.

Bookshelves in front of your bookshelves, suspended on barn door hardware with castors at the bottom. The individual shelves can be moved to access those at the back.
Not that I'm trying to give you all ideas, or anything.

This iron stylus (a type of pen for writing on wax or clay tablets) in scribed with the lines: "I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift with a sharp point that you may remember me. I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able [to give] as generously as the way is long [and] as my purse is empty."
Or to put is simply, "My friend went to Rome and all I got was this lousy pen.
Dated to about AD 70. Found in London during excavations by MOLA.

People have different priorities and value different things. This can create conflict without the reductive necessity for evil.

For my European friends now waking up.
How far did Bilbo and Frodo walk?
The Shire is a barely hidden reference to the Garden Counties of England. Before the Ice Age, it was possible to walk into Europe.
The superimposed map shows the Lonely Mountain near Chojnice, Poland, and Mount Doom down around Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
That's some hiking.

How far did Bilbo (the blue line) and Frodo (red line) walk?
Nice to see that on this map Mt Doom is Jacksonville, Fl.

The rest of you can get out and wander around as much as you like.
Have you ever written something that seemed perfectly logical to you, only to have readers point out that it actually means something completely different?

Season 2 coming in 2025. You should time it so you can watch the whole thing.

What chores do you have to get done this weekend? I like to polish everything off during the week so I get the whole weekend free.
