#ScribesAndMakers 31 Oct: how did your creativity go this month?

I took most of this month off from my 'official' writing work, but got a lot of fanfic written!

#ScribesAndMakers Oct 30. How do you feel about conceptual art?

Is that like musicians having concept albums?

Normally I'd look it up, but I'm exhausted this morning.

I've heard a number of concept albums that I really enjoy.

#ScribesAndMakers Have you ever written a review of someone's creative work?

Fairly frequently. I write reviews on most books I read more than once, and try to leave reviews on Etsy and similar sights when I buy someone's work.

#ScribesAndMakers Oct 27. Write Alt text for this image.

Alt text is in alt text, as it's supposed to be.

You have the ability to remake the global book publishing model. What does it look like when you're finished?

This is a big and ugly knot made uglier by trying to knit with lint and hawsers using crochet hooks

1. They will no longer be for-profit corporations

2. Royalties will be 50% of revenue collected, paid monthly

There's so much more that just won't fit in 500 characters.

#ScribesAndMakers 21Oct—Do you prefer fonts with or without serifs? Do you like different fonts for different purposes?

I prefer serif fonts, as I find them easier on my eyes. I draft in Baskerville, edit in Times New Roman, and publish in Kindred (my MG story is in Edgewood).

Occasionally I'll edit in a sans serif font, but generally, I find them to be too harsh on the eyes. TNR is different enough where I can still catch mistakes in punctuation and formatting.

#ScribesAndMakers 29. What is your proudest or best moment with your creative endeavor this month?

I finished the embroidery I've been working on since July! I'm now working on making it into a bag.

I'm super happy with the embroidery. It has been a learning experience and (mostly) a joy to make.

#ScribesAndMakers 9/29. What is your proudest or best moment with your creative endeavour this month?

Publishing another book from my back-log: A Goblin's Plight.

It never had priority. It never felt "good enough". But editing it showed me that it wasn't bad, either, and since I managed to cobble together a somewhat decent cover on Canva, I decided to send it into the world.

As a friend said: It'll never find readers on your hard drive.

Hello, #ScribesAndMakers! On Sunday, the 28th, we'll have another Talk To Me Day, and I'll be the featured creator (that's both exciting and scary xD)!

Thinking of that, I wrote a little "About Me" post on my Payhip blog (my author website is no longer available), which might inspire questions (all questions welcome!): https://payhip.com/NicolesCampfire/blog/blog/about-the-author

I've also created a folder on PostImages with CotR artworks (not mine): https://postimg.cc/gallery/3TgJ7cG

This will be pinned to my profile until the TTM day.

@KurtHohmann #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD ... Nine Realms is also pretty interesting (we see far more of them in the comics than in the MCU), buuuut, in this regard, I do prefer how another IP depicted the realms: God of War. I have a bit of an issue with how they adapted the characters, but exploring the realms was quite the fun experience.

But to answer your question, finally: I do prefer the "original" Norse material, while also appreciating some things Marvel invented/changed! (4/4)

@KurtHohmann #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD ... set of nine realms that earned a more significant place in the Old Norse world. So, it's very enlightening to have this more scholarly and factual approach to the mythology, even if, of course, when adapting this to various stories, we'll take creative liberties and so on.

He also narrate some of the sagas, such as the famous Völsunga Saga, and the thing I like the most, is how we can see a lot of "Norse traits", talked in prior episodes, in there (2/)

@KurtHohmann #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD ... It makes for a very rich experience, and of course, I've been making lots of notes haha Because while Valkífor Saga isn't Norse mythology, not really, I do want to capture some of those traits and mythological patterns, both of Norse and Hindu mythologies.

So, I do like that a lot. But I also like some things Marvel did. Loki, for once, is delightful, and a part of me does enjoy that Thor must be "worthy" to wield the hammer. Their depiction of the (3/)

@KurtHohmann #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD lol, yeah, get ready for a long answer. As I mentioned to you before, I've been listening a lot to that The Norse Mythology guide podcast (fantastic source for anyone interested), and I love how he doesn't simply tell things as we "expect" them. For example, if you search "Nine Realms in Norse mythology," you'll see a bunch of website listening those nine we're familiar with, when in truth, we can't really say those were the nine or even if there was a (1/)

I see you've already got a few mythology questions, and I'm going down that same road. Valkífor has likely pulled you deep into sagas and eddas, and you were already well versed in MCU, so given that, which storyteller came closer to your preferred version of all things Norse: Snorri or Stan Lee?

I'm well aware your answer could be anywhere from 1 - 100K words 😆

#ScribesAndMakers #TTMD @Ink_Soul How much do you write the gods as they were traditionally portrayed and how much do you modernize them?

#ScribesAndMakers 28. Talk to me day. Today's featured creator is: Nicole Hidalgo
( @Ink_Soul )

HI! Im looking forward to reading This Is How Immortals Die. The graphic you made with the arrows and the covers (I forget what that's called) definitely intrigued me!

You've already answered so many questions about mythology and characters. Here's a basic question: Since I am looking to buy your book, do you have a preference if I go through Payhip or Kobo? I use Kobo as an e-reader but I could also read an epub with Apple books. Which is best for you?
