#WordWeavers Day 9/23. What is your favorite drink while writing?
I drink coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon.
Champagne Charlie and the Amazing Gladys, a rollicking Steampunk adventure featuring music hall performers, drunken aristocrats, sinister conspiracies, pirates, creatures not of this earth and a squadron of the fightingest taxi-drivers you ever saw.

Do you have a favourite Jules Verne novel? :)

#WordWeavers Day 9/22. Do you purposely use symbolism in your story?
Purposely? No.
How readers feel about it might be different.
#WordWeavers Day 9/21. MC POV: What one thing would you change about your best friend?
Veronica: I wish Polly was stronger - I mean, I wish she was allowed to show how strong she is.

How charismatic are your characters?
Gladys is quite charismatic. She’s a rising star of the London music hall. When she’s not on the stage she uses her remarkable presence to motivate allies or bowl people over with her no-nonsense attitude.
Charlie is more pro-nonsense. He is likeable in his way, but lacks Gladys’ strength of personality. His misplaced enthusiasms can be endearing.
#WordWeavers Day 9/20. How charismatic are your characters?
They're just people.
If others like or admire or fear them it's because of what they *do*, not some inspirational aura.

#WordWeavers Day 9/19. Side character POV: Have you ever been treated unfairly?
Polly: I'm a servant in a big house. There are rules to be obeyed.
I have never had a mistress who pretended I had stolen something, never had a cook who claimed I had eaten more than my due. This is not a bad house when all's said and done.
By the rules that exist I have been treated fairly.
But are the rules fair? That's not for me to say.
#WordWeavers Day 9/18. Do your characters worry about their health?
For most books, only when they're ill or hurt. Or at risk of those things specifically. Not generally.
But Veronica does have a physical disability so is in constant discomfort. It's not going to kill her, nor is it going to get better.
She is careful about not aggravating the condition.
Sex helps.

#WordWeavers Day 9/17. Do you mention makeup, hair and beard styles in your work?
Only when it's relevant, sometimes it is.
For Veronica I did a deep dive on mascara, since it's 1910. Unfortunately the facts were unhelpful.
The first mass-manufactured non-toxic mascara was invented in 1913 by Eugène Rimmel.
I could fiddle the dates because this is an alternate universe, but it was called "rimmeling" and that would take too much exposition to explain.

@georgepenney I thoroughly recommend the above mentioned Book. #pirates #anthropomorphics #furrys #steampunk #AlternateHistory
1. Green Mars by #KimStanleyRobinson (1993) - 2nd book of a trilogy on how #Mars colonization would actually go down. Think underground scientist communes, multinational mining corpos, abused space migrant labour. It's dense but KSR is one of the best living scifi authors.
2. Everfair by Nisi Shawl (2016) - #steampunk #AltHistory of armed resistance against King Leopold II in the late 1800s. Love the premise, but not loving the detached prose. 1/🧵
A fantastical steampunk city, buzzing with people from all across the multiverse

I finished the banner design, version one at least. It encapsulates how I feel my imagination looks. A little rusty, a little cantankerous, but time tested and reliable in the end. Steam mechanics just seem right.

In science fiction, subgenres often give birth to other subgenres. Steampunk, for instance, led to dieselpunk. But what is dieselpunk? That question is answered, literally, in this exclusive interview with Danielle Ackley-McPhail and John L. French, editors of the new short story anthology "Grease Monkeys: The Heart And Soul Of Dieselpunk."

Today in Labor History August 28, 1921: The Soviet Red Army dissolved the stateless Anarchist Free Territory, after driving the Black Army out of Ukraine. The anarchist rebel leader, Nester Makhno, barely escaped, and with serious injuries.
The Free Territory within Ukraine, also known as Makhnovia (after Nestor Makhno), lasted from 1918 to 1921. It was a stateless, anarchist society that was defended by Makhno’s Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army (AKA the Black Army). Roughly 7 million people lived in the area. The peasants who lived there refused to pay rent to the landowners and seized the estates and livestock of the church, state and private landowners, setting up local committees to manage them and share them among the various villages and communes of the Free State.
Michael Moorcock’s “A Nomad of the Time Streams” is a steampunk/alternative history novel where Makhno survives into the 1940s.

"Favorite game you never get to play."
Well, I'd really like to play in a #steampunk game, or a #pulpadventure game, or Jazz Age #CallofCthulhu game... But since the people I've played with were never really into running those things, well, I ran games like that.
So, in a way, I get to play games that I enjoy, but only as a GM.
Humanity had solar power as early as the 19th century!
"Mouchot showed his largest solar engine at the World’s Fair in Paris in 1878. The sun’s rays were concentrated in a reflective metal cone focused on a boiler attached to a heat-powered refrigeration device that produced blocks of ice."

Hey Mastodon community! I'm an indie author with 10 novels, 7 novellas, and a whole bunch of short stories. I write #scifi #fantasy #postapocalyptic and #horror. Currently working on a #steampunk series.
Looking to connect with fellow writers. Excited to share ideas and support each other on this writing journey. #introduction #writingcommunity #indieauthor #writing
A quick recommended read - The Curious Affair of the Missing Mummies by Lisa Tuttle. This is the third of her excellent Jesperson and Lane mysteries set in the 1890s, where something you might think was mere superstition turns out to be real... These books are all great reads and this is the best yet!
