It's meaningful to me for an enigmatic reason.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/DaVinci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DaVinci</a>

Tiana CutrightAfter he died, weeks later, my cousin found my little notebook on our uncle's dining table, beside an unfinished jigsaw puzzle. He returned it to me. It became an Xmas gift to my mother, who was with her brother when he passed. She said it was the best regift ever. My mother died in 2016, and the regift returned to me again. It is a personal treasure now, and I have no regrets about creating it. Tell your beloveds why you love them. Such telling lasts.🧵 2/2<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 2025-04-07

Tiana CutrightDescribe something you've made or seen that is meaningful to you.🧵 In 2014, my beloved uncle was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I filled a Moleskine notebook with handwritten copies of all my best poems, from my childhood and on up to my most recent work. As afterword, I shared what his lifelong care meant to me, thanked him, said I love you, said goodbye without writing the word. Gave it to him at what we knew would be our final holiday meal together. 1/2<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 2025-04-07

Rest assured, I am not Banksy, and he's not jumping out from behind your sofa to spray-paint you into a work of art. You're already a work of art. 💜 More seriously, it's likely about the more personal things. Perhaps something neurospicy related, fearing it may be too personal.<a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/scribesandmakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scribesandmakers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/TTMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTMD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/artist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artist</a>

Quasi<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 5: If you sell, decide on a price?This is one of the many reasons I don't sell my work, I really don't know what it would be worth.Granted, other reasons include not wanting to deal with copyright issues (for song parodies) and not being that great of an artist (for drawing).

Quasi<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 4: Handle praise well, or embarrassed?Neither. I tend to deflect praise, but not from discomfort, more because I don't feel it's warranted. Part imposter syndrome, part feeling if I was truly that good, I'd have more readers/viewers.At the same time, complete lack of praise tanks my productivity. If I push to get my serial out and it's crickets for a month, I feel like what's the point. My head's a mess.

Quasi<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 3: Like to form a creative group?As others have said (including me) I have no damn time. Teaching under conservatives and parenting are both full time jobs already. And commitment for me tends to be an all-in.In the past I've been in comic discussions, NaNo circles, April Fools swap groups, and more. Usually on the fringes, granted. I'm more of an observer.

Plus we're traveling for Easter.What I will logically be *able* to work on is restoring a few more old posts to the new website. Along with my AO3 repostings.

So I'll simply say, it's amazing what video editing skills can do these days (without AI).

Solar Branka :mw:<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 1 April: Analyze this out of context quote from obscure influencer/author SA Poscat and tell us how you feel about it. "If I wanted to do something people liked, I would post videos of someone kicking me in the nethers. Instead, I write."How large was the author's market research sample that gives this evaluation about what people like?

I promise.

Elyse M GrassoALSO in another important moment this month: I have received my first royalty payments for my book: $12.39 from Amazon and 8.25 from D2D.Publishing is a LOOONG way from paying for itself, but this is a start.

Elyse M Grasso<a href="https://historians.social/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 29 What is your proudest or best moment with your creative endeavour this month?No major milestones yet this month.The other side of being a discovery writer is: particular moments don't stick out when I think back: it's all attached, not chopped up and stuck into little boxes. Vol2 may be 'complete' by the end of the month, as I had hoped: I just moved some text to the vol3 file, and I know what vol2 needs instead. The editing pass to balance the arc will not be huge.

Eve 😘📚<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> March 27: Were you ever discouraged by great art of someone else?I've been playing guitar off and on my entire life basically. When I was in my teens, a guy I knew picked up a guitar and became Hendrix level good in six months. I found that a little discouraging. Later, I realized we had different motivations and different paths. I was always more interested in composing than I was in playing the most technical pieces.It's so easy to say "don't be discouraged" but so difficult to actually take that advice. We're not doing the same things, though.
