I’m surprised more people haven’t been talking about it since it was introduced at #WWDC21. I have tried similar systems in the past, like Doxygen, but they have been too much work and diverged too far from my workflow. DocC fits in perfectly with my style of coding and feels like almost no work. It’s even fun sometimes.

#WritingWonders Feb. 12. Are there any themes that pop up in your writing?
Several, although one of the most dominant in THE DRAGON'S BROOD CYCLE, and most especially in my #WIP (volume 3), is that of personal identity: who our heroes (or antagonists) are, who they have been, and who they want to become, with a focus on finding (and accepting) what/who they are.

The primary antagonist of THE DRAGON'S BROOD CYCLE, the sorceress Marianne of Seven Skies, can control plantlike to horrifying effect, so she's definitely an outdoors person. 😱
Here she is, as illustrated by Leanne Hannah.

#WritingWonders Feb. 8. Are you an underwriter or overwriter?
I'm both, but at different stages of the process. My first drafts tend to be a little on the lighter side; when I work on the second draft, which I do on a chapter-by-chapter basis, I tend to expand significantly on what I have. That expansion, incidentally, is almost always my favorite part of the process of crafting a story.

#WritingWonders Feb. 7. Does weather or climate play a role in your book?
In a way, it does. Each installment, thus far, is roughly mapping to a season. (This was entirely unplanned.) Samhain, and autumn in general, played such an important role in volume 2 (HAVEN DIVIDED), it is a featured element of the cover.
I have plans for winter to play a part in my #WIP, volume 3.

Spent a little time earlier thumbing through the #Braille edition of the #Textalker 3.1.3 User’s Guide, circa 1987, for the first time in years. It was delightfully conversational, in a way that tech manuals just aren’t, generally speaking, these days. It was also unintentionally hilarious, reading it from a 2023 perspective. Ah, how the world has changed. Ah…how it has not. #a11y #accessibility #AppleIIGS #RetroComputing
