It makes sense to me that an initialism is different enough that it should at least be a subtype of acronym if not its own term.

      ~5 From a purely aesthetic standpoint, what is your favorite color of ice cream?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been browsing ice cream images and it&amp;#39;s truly hard to decide. There is certainly something appealing about a brown and white twist soft serve with the floppy cap tail at the top, but I think I find hard ice cream more satisfying to look at. A dark chocolate filled with chunks for texture, probably some lighter colored chocolate and then something more golden brown like cookies or cookie dough for contrast.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#ScribesAndMakers

      ~4 Reverse of last month&amp;#39;s question: if e-books stopped being produced, how much would you miss them?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;They&amp;#39;re a lot more affordable than paper books when they&amp;#39;re new, they don&amp;#39;t take up shelf space, and I can carry my library in my pocket, so I&amp;#39;d definitely miss them. I&amp;#39;d likely go back to buying mainly used books and using libraries more, which wouldn&amp;#39;t be terrible things. Paper books I would miss on an emotional level, but e-books I&amp;#39;d mostly miss on a practical level.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#ScribesAndMakers

      ˜2 How do you think where you live affects your creative work?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&amp;#39;ve used fictional versions of where I live/d as settings. I wonder if my books would be faster paced and more action packed if I lived in a city, or how much the ocean would show up if I lived near it. I also wonder how much the physical space affects me. Would I write differently if I had some sort of writing den, or if I wrote beside a fireplace, or even if I took my laptop to the backyard? What if I moved around, did some writing at a library or cafe? Does the fact that I don&amp;#39;t see a lot of things happening inspire me to imagine more, or would a more buzzing location provide more ideas to build on? I don&amp;#39;t know.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#ScribesAndMakers

Feel free to ask more questions if you haven&amp;#39;t yet, but I think it&amp;#39;s getting late in her time zone and I&amp;#39;m not sure she&amp;#39;ll get to any more today.

      »29 At age 11, our TTMD guest answered &amp;#39;What do you want to be when you grow up?&amp;#39; with &amp;#39;Author.&amp;#39; Do you know what you wanted to be at 11?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I suspect at age 11 I wanted to be something highly improbable, like a professional baseball player. I think it was a year later that I had to pick a career for a school project and I went with lawyer. I chose it because I associated the profession with money, of which my family didn&amp;#39;t have a lot. I&amp;#39;m sure the lack was an influence, but mainly I think I just had a sense that I was supposed to want money. I remember a high school art project a few years later where we did a collage project, and modelling after some of my peers, I cut out luxury cars and the like, brands I was first hearing of in that moment, like BMW. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I remember my teacher being surprised that I wanted to be a lawyer, but also saying that there were aspects of it she could see. I don&amp;#39;t remember which aspects. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Also that year, she picked me and another guy to go to a special class to work on a video project along with students from other area schools. Not Necessarily the News was popular at the time, and we did Nowhere Near the News. I believe the other guy is currently in Los Angeles working in television.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So I think the answer is, at age 11 I had no idea what I wanted to be and was just trying to fit in.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#ScribesAndMakers

I&amp;#39;m curious about other people&amp;#39;s experiences. Sometimes I feel like I want to have more deliberate downtime for my brain, but I don&amp;#39;t know.

As is often the case, seeing how people interpret the question is part of what makes it interesting to me.

Nearly all my sales came around my release date. I had a couple in September, I think as a result of a self-promo I did here. When I didn&amp;#39;t get any sales at all in October, I decided to try lowering the price. It didn&amp;#39;t make a difference. I should probably try to promote outside fedi, but I haven&amp;#39;t felt motivated, so if I&amp;#39;m being real with myself, if I want more readers, I have to do more than just feel bad that they&amp;#39;re not there.

Describe a perfect reader for your story (i.e. who is the story for?) &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Her name is Elle and she lives in a converted garage apartment with her newly adopted cat. She already read one of my books, and though she was more interested in the writing in the margins than the book itself, she is an avid reader and might appreciate some of my other writing. Her book has already been (mostly) written, and I don&amp;#39;t expect a sequel, but I can still imagine her reading my other books.

A paragraph of writing or a single image.&lt;br/&gt;° For longer critique, consider forming a group with other community members looking for the same: &lt;a href=&#34;https://write.as/samhelper/creative-group-interests&#34;&gt;https://write.as/samhelper/creative-group-interests&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;• If you ask to be critiqued, please critique others.&lt;br/&gt;• When critiquing, say something positive, offer suggestions for improvement, end positive.&lt;br/&gt;Thanks to &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub16gv0322qymvvak2rfd5umyurnysqc0uzj92afetyzyztjl0vmmds7mgnuq&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Emma Cox&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub16gv…gnuq&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1jmx8mra3jf04w560u04hggepmep9gc0s355f6axscrm69lltl6fq8feggh&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Christina&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1jmx…eggh&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Many of the authors I&amp;#39;ve read recently are people that I know on a more personal level from interactions on this site. Historically, though, it was more the sense of knowing their work from previous books I had read.
