Why Nostr:
I've been told I should use Nostr because creatives are being paid directly for their work. I've also been told I should accept Bitcoin for the stories I create.
So, here I am, using Nostr and accepting sats for stories.

Bio:
I'm a human-generated self-published author and - because I enjoy self-flagellation - a writing competition enthusiast.
I write science/speculative fiction, sprinkled with a little horror, thriller and/or noir, all of which explores social mobility through character and choice.

Book Details:
Full of Worlds: A Collection of Short Stories by CJ Payling
~ A small collection of twenty-one short stories (NOT corn related)
~ In these pages you will find other worlds, ghostly happenings, uplifting narratives, and absurd circumstances (Please note that not all these stories have a speculative element)
~ Independently self-published and available directly from my Ko-fi
#WritersCoffeeClub 9th Oct ~ How does your own sense of mortality influence what you write?
I've never really given this much thought. If pushed, I suppose my sense of mortality is coupled with a sense of absurdity, which fuels the characters and situations I find myself writing.

#WritersCoffeeClub 8th Oct ~ Tell us about someone who supports you on the sidelines.
My wife is my biggest supporter but I have a number of others, friends and family, who are supportive whether or not they read my work.

#WritersCoffeeClub 7th Oct ~ Does your editing process tend towards addition or reduction?
That depends on the project. Different stories, different editing. If pushed, I would have to say I tend towards building.

#WritersCoffeeClub 6th Oct ~ What might an inattentive reader miss in your work?
1. My place and character names are typically thought-out and researched, and compliment the story.
2. If I'm using formal language, it's meant to be that way.

#WritersCoffeeClub 3rd Oct~ How do you feel about spoilers?
I'm not a fan. I don't even watch trailers because I like to be surprised.
