Would the nb version of Cymro or Cymraes be "Cymra"? Cos that would be awesome. Like She-Ra.

I use many aspects of my life in my stories, little snippets, but in Five Turns of the Wheel I gave Megan the trauma of a pretty violent miscarriage I suffered years back. Every word spoken to her by docs is real. Got angry all over again as I wrote it! #HorrorWritersChat
Mary Wyrd (she/her)@marywyrd.bsky.social · 2h agoMaking it personal. Q3: #HorrorWritersChat - In what ways has your own history (past) impacted or inspired your horror writing? Examples: giving a character your childhood trauma, reimagining an experience with a different ending.

Frog closed his eyes when Toad came out from behind the rocks
Inside you are two wolves. One always lies, one always tells the truth. The wolves cannot be left alone with the goat, the goat cannot be left alone with the cabbage. Treatment is simple: great clown Pagliacci is in town. "But doctor, I cannot operate on this boy, he is my son." Why did the chicken

I'm queer af and Welsh af. I wondered what mixing vogue and ballroom music with Welsh culture and song would sound like. So I made it. I'm not a person of colour, so I can't make any claim to ballroom - but we're cousins, and I did all of this out of love, respect and absolute awe and inspiration.
