Why Nostr:
I've been told I should use Nostr because creatives are being paid directly for their work. I've also been told I should accept Bitcoin for the stories I create.

So, here I am, using Nostr and accepting sats for stories.

Bio:
I'm a human-generated self-published author and - because I enjoy self-flagellation - a writing competition enthusiast.

I write science/speculative fiction, sprinkled with a little horror, thriller and/or noir, all of which explores social mobility through character and choice.

#WritersCoffeeClub 27th July ~ What's a writerly growing pain you're experiencing right now?

I've just come out of the planning phase and I'm heading towards the mundane midpoint. I've heard tales about a drop in writerly momentum...

#WritersCoffeeClub 26th July ~ Do you have other works waiting in the wings? How many?

Yes. I use online flash-fiction contests to generate initial ideas and, right now, I have at least 15, with some placed higher than others on the hierarchy of attention.

I can't say I ever have written myself into a corner. I'll let you know what happens when I do.

#WritersCoffeeClub 24th July ~ Should a reader be forewarned about any and all erotic content, no matter how small?

No. If it's one scene, in an 80k book, that possibly elicits some form of arousal in a handful of readers, I'm going to have to say no. Otherwise, the warning may as well say, "WARNING: Contains Words".
