#WordWeavers 23. Have your characters’ journeys affected your own life? If so, how?
Realising that Ashrah is trans helped me realise that, wait, I am trans as well (similarly with autism...) 😅 In CotR, part of her journey of self-discovery, self-love, and balance is learning about gender and womanhood and how she relates to them, until she starts identifying as a trans demon woman.
I'm also practising Baguazhang because of her.
In general, her journey is just so inspiring.

#ScribesAndMakers 8. Share a single line from a song you like. Ask people to identify the song.
"And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back"

#WritersCoffeeClub 4. What would you like to see explored in prompts for this hashtag game?
Snippet sharing could be fun! The prompt could give us a word, and we shared a passage with that (or a synonym, whatever, doesn't need to be super limiting).

#ScribesAndMakers 12. Shameless self-promotion day. Show us what you're proud of. Let's boost away.
Garden of Rotten Roses is coming soon, but there's still time to dive into the first book of the series, This Is How Immortals Die, as well as into the free short story, The Pale Bull!

Of all the things we can do in Dragon Age: Veilguard, I didn't expect hugging a griffon to be one of my favourites 🤗
Look at him! So huggable! (And Ashrah's smile when hugging *her* griffon 🥹💜)
