Pronouns: Author | Writer | Human https://linktr.ee/cjpayling ~ ~ ~ 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 31st Oct ~ How did this month's writing go for you? I managed to write 1k words... Other commitments have been taking prime position this month I'm afraid. #Writing #Writer #MorningTunes
#WritersCoffeeClub 30th Oct ~ How does your work immortalise those who came before you? Nothing lasts forever. It'd be lovely if my work did. The best we can hope for is that we pay tribute to those we admire through our craft. #Writer #Writing #WritingCommunity
#WritersCoffeeClub 29th Oct ~ Pass along a book which came with a personal recommendation. Multiple people have recommended Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, simply because they thought I might enjoy it. #Writing #Writer #WritingCommunity
#WritersCoffeeClub 28th Oct ~ Do you hide 'secrets' in your works? I don't really 'hide secrets'. I include little bits of knowledge and information that, if in the know, the reader will appreciate. #Writing #Writer #WritingCommunity
#WritersCoffeeClub 27th Oct ~ As a writer, what do you need right now? More writing time. #Writing #Writer #WritingCommunity
#WritersCoffeeClub 26th Oct ~ How did you develop your voice? I still am... #Writing #Writer #WritingCommunity
#WritersCoffeeClub 25th Oct ~ Tell us about inspiration from an unlikely source All sources are likely to generate some sort of inspiration, whether that be a single word or a fully realised world with fully formed characters. #Writer #Writing #WritingCommunity
#WritersCoffeeClub 24th Oct ~ What is currently provisional in your workflow/work? In my #WIP, most of the story is subject to change. Possibly character names. Maybe the title. Possibly the themes, styling, format, POV, beginning, ending, the middle... #Writing #Writer #WritingCommunity
#WritersCoffeeClub 23rd Oct ~ How do you make sure you deliver on your writerly promises? That's part of the craft, right? That is, the way writers deliver on the story's promise is what it's all about. So, I suppose, I make sure I deliver by studying the craft. #Writer #Writing #WritingCommunity
#WritersCoffeeClub 21th Oct ~ How do you make your works approachable? I've started to make some of my work as British, as English, as Yorkshire as I can... what do you think? #Writing #Writer #WritingCommunity
