Writing Streamer Feature! NursingGeek
This incredible streamer has been writing with Stories on Fire for a few years now! She’s incredible and her streams are really chill. Below is from an interview with NursingGeek.
I’m a geek, a writer, a gamer, a nurse educator, and sporadic textile arts enthusiast. Some of my current literary influences are Mary Robinette Kowal and the rest of the Writing Excuses podcasters (Brandon Sanderson, Dan Wells, Howard Tayler, and their various awesome guests, such as C.L. Polk, Aliette de Bodard, and Piper J. Drake). On the gaming side, I lean towards open sandboxes like Minecraft and character-centric story games like Spiritfarer, or else extreme weirdness combined with weaponized kindness aka GISH (the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt). LGBTQIA+ health is my passion as a nurse and nurse educator, and that tends to come through in both my storytelling and my gameplay.
I write fantasy, science fiction, and kids’ stories. I stream a combination of writing, gaming (mostly Minecraft) and occasionally other random things.
Engagement in my stream is mostly through chat and recently have added a Kappamon to greet people as they arrive in chat.
In my creative career, I don’t yet have any fiction published. Well, original fiction, that is. On the fanfiction side, I’m currently pretty proud of “This Hallowed House,” a cute story I wrote for Yuletide this year in the October Daye universe. As a bonus, other people seem to like it too.
The best part of streaming is that I enjoy interacting with people while I write or game.
Beyond Twitch, they can find me on Twitter and Tumblr at @nursinggeek
On Twitch, my schedule right now is on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons. I’m still a relative newbie, so I haven’t hit any of the notable streaming milestones yet.
She’s a must see during Stories on Fire and beyond! https://twitch.tv/nursinggeek
Streaming Feature – David Payne
A fantastic fun author jumping into the wonderful world of streaming, writing, submitting and more!
David has always considered himself a writer, and writing has always been a passion of his, even though for many years, it wasn’t his priority. Renewed in 2021 with “Writing Purpose”, he is embarking on writing while streaming and getting his work out there. Come join him in the writing adventure!

What do you stream? (or write in what genre)
I write whatever strikes my fancy, though I tend to default to Fantasy/SciFi/Other Speculative Fiction. Contemporary Fiction, Memoir, and others have been known to pop up too.
How long have you been streaming?
Since Dec 2021
How do you keep your viewers engaged?
Hopefully by chatting with them about their writing, goals, things that come up. We have sprints in my channel too, but let’s be serious, I tend to talk through them…
What is your favorite thing about streaming?
I quite enjoy the accountability of streaming my writing. Aside from that, I love sharing the writing process, working out writing challenges with others, and sharing in others’ successes.
How long have you been creating?
Well since I was ~10, but let’s just say last year because this is the first year I’ve felt like I am making progress.

Stories on Fire Launch Stream
At midnight US /Canada Central Time we’ll be hosting a live stream writing event. We will create our first short story of at least 3000 words. This seems like a fun way to start the challenge with great company. You’ll have to visit to see who will be stopping in!
The stream will feature some fun things. We’ll be sharing how everyone can get free anthologies to read. We will even share plans for the event streams going ahead.
So, how do you get in on this? How do you find out where the anthology is? You visit http://twitch.tv/theladywrites or you can follow along with updates at http://youtube.inexhaustible.media
Also, there will be some youtube live streams at http://youtube.com/theladywrites (still working that out for the inaugural stories on fire event for 9/1)
Sept 1st we’ll see you on stream! Let’s have some great fun together.
