#WritersCoffeeClub Day 26: Did your childhood affect the way you write / what you write?
If it did, I can't see how. I suspect probably that means it didn't.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 28: Has a Writer’s Club prompt / prompt response affected how you write or inspired you?
Absolutely. More than one. I can't recall the specific ones right now, but I know there have been a bunch that got me thinking about things, and even helped me resolve problems or flesh out characters in ways that I know will make it onto the page and into the book.
And for that, big thank-yous to @johnhowesauthor for starting this and running it for so long! We'll miss you, John!

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 1: How did your WIP’s premise take shape?
It was a long, gradual process. It started with me loving cities, and how magical and alive they are. And then I started thinking about what it would be like of people could hear the City's voice.
And then I had to start coming up with those people, and the things they wanted, and the ways they might have different ideas about what the City's future should be.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 2: How accurately does the first line represent your style and voice?
I haven't actually written the first line yet. But I do know what the first phrase, at least, will be. I'm going to try to make it a good introduction to the novel and the world it portrays.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 3: How can your current writing routine be improved?
If I knew that, I'd already have done it.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 4: Do your projects start with a sense of new life or new beginnings?
Don't all projects? Isn't it pretty standard that when someone starts something new — practically anything — they have a sense of new life and new beginnings about it?

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 5: What writing-related tools or resources have you found most effective?
Honestly, I've gotta go with the one I wrote for myself, that graphs my progress. I initially only wanted it so I could see how I'm doing, but putting a 7-day exponential moving average track on it as well turns out to have been the most motivating thing I've done so far. 1/2

A single day of zero progress just looks like the graph bops down and touches the x-axis, but the exponential moving average line winds up with a 7-day-long gap in it, and *that's* really noticeable. And really annoying.
Wanting to avoid that gap has gotten me writing way more than I'd like to admit. It's been effective as all hell. 2/2

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 6: How do you feel you can further develop as a writer?
By doing a ton more writing.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 7: What’s the first thing you do when you sit down with a new project?
I've only had this one project so far, so I can't really say I have a routine or a standard for how I start them. And this one didn't really have a solid "start" that I can point to; it's more like it just crept up on me.

But something my partner said recently comes to mind. We were talking about mass vs. niche appeal, and about writing to satisfy one's own desires and those of the few people who will "get" what you're doing, as opposed to deliberately making your work extremely accessible at the cost of diluting it. 2/4

And my partner said, "So you'd rather be Rosemary Kirstein than Dan Brown." And that put their finger on it precisely. Would I like the *level* (albeit not the *type*) of fame, and the amount of money, that Dan Brown has? Sure! But would I sacrifice my work for it? Hell, no! Given that, I'd MUCH rather have the kind of situation and audience that Kirstein does. 3/4

That said, if you like SFF? Seriously, check out her _Steerswoman_ series! It's unlike anything else I've ever read. I can only hope she'll finish the final 2 books really soon. Try not to learn too much about it before you start; there's a big secret that, when you discover it yourself, is a major part of the fun. https://www.rosemarykirstein.com/ 4/4

Addendum: It occurs to me that Emma Bull's _The War for the Oaks_ and Terri Windling's _Bordertown_ series, by being huge formative influence on urban fantasy, and books I've loved, probably count as inspiration for me to write this at all. I probably should've just answered those to start with! 5/4

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 9: Does caffeine intake influence your writing?
In the sense that if I don't have any caffeine in the morning, I don't get *anything* done that day? Hell, yes. (Or at least, I assume I wouldn't. I haven't tried it in longer than I can recall.) 1/2

Most of my writing happens in the evening, so I want to be careful about consuming caffeine then if I want to get to bed on time (normally a struggle even when I don't have any caffeine). But — and this is not something I've specifically tracked or kept data on, more like anecdotal observations — the times I've tried a little Irish Coffee to kickstart myself have generally been on the high side of my productivity range. 2/2

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 10: How do you handle the physical strain of writing?
I don't experience any noticeable physical strain in writing. I have a nice, comfy chair at home where I do most of my writing. I get up every so often to get myself another drink, or use the bathroom, or suchlike, so I don't get too stiff.
Really, it's one of the least physically stressful activities one could engage in aside from say, meditation or sleeping.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 11: Do writing challenges spur on your progress?
Not sure what you mean by "challenges". Like, some kinds of online challenges? The only thing I do that's even close to those is these prompts (this hashtag, WordWeavers, and ScribesAndMakers). I wouldn't really call them "challenges" though, right?
Nonetheless, some of them have been very useful to me, and gotten me to think about things in a different way or given me more insight about characters. 1/2

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 12: Happy Plant a Flower Day! What rôle does nature take in your stories?
Practically none. My WIP (which is my first) is set in a city, and is absolutely saturated in city life. 1/2

Diario di bordo – Il richiamo del firmware 📖⚔️
Certe volte non sono i pacchetti persi a complicare la vita,
La missione 🎯Libro sul Flipper aperto sul tavolo, come una mappa segreta.Momentum Firmware adocchiato, pronto da installare.qFlipper come unico portale tra due mondi.Una scheda WiFi ESP32 con Marauder che aspetta solo di risvegliarsi.
ma un libro trovato per caso… che ti convince a cambiare strada. 😅Obiettivo?
La prova ⚡ttyACM0 o ttyACM1? Il destino ama confondere.Il CLI che non lasciava più uscire.Il .dfu trovato tra mille dubbi, finalmente scelto.Flash a 87% con il cuore che batteva come durante un attacco EAPOL.Success! 🎉
Abbandonare l’ordinario, flashare il diverso, domare il caos delle porte seriali.
Ma… “Reinstall firmware to run this app” si prende gioco di me.Ritento, insisto, combino.
Morale 🧙
E quando tutto sembra perso… appare il menù segreto del Marauder,
fitto di opzioni nuove come un grimorio proibito.Il Flipper non è solo un gadget:
è un campo di battaglia, un enigma, un compagno che insegna pazienza.Oggi non ho solo cambiato firmware.
Ho guadagnato un menù intero, un ESP risvegliato,
e un capitolo epico da aggiungere al diario. ✍️SUCCESS?
Quasi.
Ma Consapevolezza +2 conquistata. 🏅

@phab @quinta Sono d'accordo, ma si può cominciare anche senza portafoglio:
Si installa l'app Exodus ( https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.eu.exodus_privacy.exodusprivacy/ ) e si fa uno scan delle proprie app installate.
Poi si va su Tracker e si fa clic su AppsFlyer e si eliminano tutte le app che lo utilizzano.Se si usa Monday.com si può anche disdire e/o cancellare l'account dopo aver esportato tutto su una delle alternative prodotte nell'EU ( https://alternativeto.net/software/dapulse/?origin=eu&sort=likes ) o almeno open-source ( https://alternativeto.net/software/dapulse/?license=opensource&sort=likes ).

La Giornata Mondiale della #Pace è stata istituita dall'Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite nel 1981, con Risoluzione A/RES/36/67, con l’obiettivo di rafforzare la volontà di pace tra le nazioni e i popoli.
Dal 2001 le celebrazioni per la pace sono state fissate per il giorno 21 settembre di ogni anno, tramite la Risoluzione A/RES/55/282, ed è stato convenuto che questa sarebbe stata la giornata in cui sospendere tutte le ostilità e la violenza nel mondo. #ONU
