Christina<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> Describing something meaningful to me: An oil painting of several skeletons dressed in clothing, including one in a top hat and one with a blue shawl and bright red skirt, stand around a cold stove inscribed with the words, "Pas de feu. En trouverez-vous demain?" The painting is called "Skeletons Warming Themselves" by James Ensor and it hangs in the Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth, TX. It may be my favorite painting ever.

Kem Herkes<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 7 Apr: describe something you've made or seen that is meaningful to you.I've made two whole imaginary universes filled with people determined to live loving lives & build a better world in a future shaped by horrible mistakes their grandparents and great-grandparents made.That gets more and more meaningful to me with every passing day. Hope is a crow with sooty feathers, bloody talons, and a murder at its back.

Orion (he/him)<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> Apr 7. Without showing it, describe something you've made or seen that is meaningful to you.I wrote a flash fic in 2020 about a dad who's so dedicated to making the world better for his kids that he changes history. Bush never elected, so Trump was never elected, and the pandemic was handled by competent non-sociopaths. But that also erased his own timeline, including his kids. It's my time-travel fantasy plus the ontological implications thereof.<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a>#AmWriting

Lydia Vvinters<a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 7, Describe something you've made that is meaningful to you.I painted a woman flourishing in the dark. She's just a shadow, A shape. But calm and connected with bioluminescent nature. I didn't think much of it at the time, but the more I look at it, the more it strikes me what profound peace and beauty can be found in the darkness. Even the luminescent moths, showing her where the light is, are met with merely mild curiosity. She's okay in there, in the shadows.

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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 2025-04-07

Helen in Wales<a href="https://toot.wales/tags/ScribesAndMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 7 Apr: What’s your take on the “suffer for art” argument?When I was working full-time, I was prepared to put in a bit of effort in order to make time to write. For example I would get up early so I could write for 30-45 minutes before driving to work. But, apart from some rare situations, I don't think anyone should be writing if it causes actual suffering. There are so many other things to do with your life. Why make yourself miserable? Is the end product really worth it?

My 8pm EDT check-in now is what it is, but as an option for the morning:The usual: What would you like to have been asked that you were not? (And answer.)Additional: I've noticed you run some of your own tags (including one offs like IrishCoffeeClub). Any particular motivation behind it, and do you find it difficult?

RS, Author, Novelist, ProsaistTalk to me day is trending on Mastodon! What? Thought I'd post a screenshot.

Lydia Vvinters<a href="https://writing.exchange/@gahlearner" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gahlearner</a> It's a real hoot! The questions everyone asks are such fun! But I'm just checking in while editing, so, I'm good.I plan to avoid Death by self-discipline in April by allowing myself to focus on a few things instead of a few hundred things. Which happens when I am indecisive and try to do what I think I should be doing instead of trusting that I'll make progress while doing what comes naturally to me. In short, I'm trying to micromanage myself less.<a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/scribesandmakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scribesandmakers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/TTMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTMD</a>

I hope you're not too stressed out. I have a related question:You called your progress last month, "Death by self-discipline" and want to be nicer to yourself in April. How do you do that?

Lydia Vvinters<a href="https://sakurajima.moe/@NaraMoore" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@NaraMoore</a> When Freya is hunting a couple of mercenaries in the catacombs of Brightwall city. The city its self guides her to the lowest level using barely perceptible movement of the lining moss on the walls. She lures them in, the moss grows around her bare feet, and she connects with it and uses it to ensnare them. Clouds part to cast light on an old, discarded, ornate chair covered in moss she can sit on as she interrogates the invaders.😈 <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/scribesandmakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scribesandmakers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/TTMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTMD</a>

Lydia Vvinters<a href="https://sakurajima.moe/@NaraMoore" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@NaraMoore</a> It's bursting with it. Especially Freya's home, House Cylinders. As well as the attic, and all the forests.These things don't talk, but the attic manifests books of stories that happen around it. The house its self is very close to the Memory Realm, so has gained a peculiar sentience that is mostly expressed through echos, creeks, and drafts. Some forests have manifested a form for their collective sentience, like Intamar here.<a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/scribesandmakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scribesandmakers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/TTMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTMD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/witch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#witch</a>
