Iām 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.
How long have you been creating?
Iāve been writing since I was a kid, got put off it thanks to a creative writing professor who didnāt believe āgenreā was real writing, and decades later got writing again thanks to the fanfiction community on LiveJournal. These days, Iām working on honing my craft to hopefully start putting some original stories out into the world.
What stands out in your creative career?
That’s a tough one! 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.
What do you stream? (or write in what genre)
I write fantasy, science fiction, and kids’ stories. I stream a combination of writing, gaming (mostly Minecraft) and occasional other random things.
How long have you been streaming?
Since August 2021.
How do you keep your viewers engaged?
Mostly through chat and recently have added a Kappamon to greet people as they arrive in chat.
What is your favorite thing about streaming?
Interacting with people while I write or game.
Have you met any streaming milestones you’re proud of? Can you tell us when you did and how you and your community responded?
I’m still a relative newbie, so I haven’t hit any of the notable milestones yet.
Where can people find you?
I’m on Twitter and Tumblr at @nursinggeek, and on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/nursinggeek
When can people find you on Twitch?
Right now, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons.
Half way mark! This is has been amazing! I’m really learning new things about my characters daily.
How’s your progress going? I’d love to hear about it during the weekly wrap up on Saturday at 7 PM ET on http://twitch.tv/inexhaustiblemedia
