Em<p>Hi, I seem to be the former <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://creativewriting.social/@CatFoxBirdLady" class="u-url mention">@<span>CatFoxBirdLady</span></a></span>. &#39;Seem to be&#39; less in an identity-crisis and more in a &quot;where tf did creativewriting.social go&quot; sense.<br />Since the instance is gone (for now?) I can&#39;t import* anything but I am looking to recreating my account.</p><p>*at least that&#39;s how it seems</p>
Em<p><a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WritersCoffeeClub</span></a> April 9: How much room for the fantastical is there in your work?</p><p>Current WIP: Barely any. The bunch of demons running around are not part of a supernatural society because there is none. They are aberrations, like Mephisto in Faust, but much unhappier.<br />Usually it&#39;s more.</p>

It&#39;s not quite as extreme yet as it will be a few decades in the future, with a morning and evening post, but we are getting there.</p>

Or do they fall somewhere in the middle?</p><p>The SC cast is large and covers the entire spectrum, though the original SCs, who are MC&#39;s younger siblings, are are all on the extravert end.</p>

SC POV: Are you capable of killing a person?</p><p>(These two complement each other nicely, at least for me.)</p><p>Superstitious: Nope, none of them. At the same time most of them could never consider, let alone answer, the second question honestly. </p><p>Much as I adore my cast, the lack of superstition has the same explanation as that dishonesty, and that is that they comply* with expectations.</p><p>*or think they do</p>

Em<p><a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WritersCoffeeClub</span></a> April 6. Do you edit while writing, or go wild and fix it later?</p><p>Yes. Let me elaborate, using the WIP as an example:<br />The first 1.2 drafts were &quot;just write something that seems to be pointing into the right direction for now&quot;, then the current mode took over. That being &quot;looking at the paragraph I just wrote and knowing it somehow will, several chapters down, prove to have been a bad choice&quot;.</p>
