#ScribesAndMakers Feb 19: Do you find creative work therapeutic? Do you do it for that reason, or is it a side benefit?

Both/and. Yes, it's therapeutic, but I'd do it anyway. It's so much god damn fun.

#ScribesAndMakers 18. Do you have multiple creative outlets? Are they distractions or do they work synergeristically?

Primarily, I do fiction for fun, but my job is already very creative and uses a lot of the same "muscles" in the brain (I'm an essay-writing prof).

They absolutely feed into each other, though. The biggest thing? Paragraphing. I swear to you, if you can really "get" essay paragraphing then fiction paragraphing is easy.

#ScribesAndMakers Feb 16: We're considering a monthly featured creator day. Would this be of interest to you?

Don't know who "we" is, but sure, why not?

#ScribesAndMakers Feb 15. Tell us about yourself and your creative work.

I write SFF. I like space opera. I like mythology. I love sneaking in humour. I'm interested in writing about compulsive behaviour.
