#ScribesAndMakers day 18: Our next featured creator has done her own book covers. Have you ever or would you ever do your own cover?
I would absolutely not; graphic design is not one of my skills. If for some reason I had to, I'd go with some kind of design based on text and abstract shapes, because art is even less one of my skills. But in reality, I plan to either let my publisher handle cover art (assuming I find a publisher), or contract an artist/designer (assuming I don't).

#ScribesAndMakers day 19: Our featured creator is an avid gamer. Does gaming affect your creativity?
There are parts of my current WIP that sprang from pondering long and hard about some of the implications of a few concepts from the TTRPG _Shadowrun_.
#ScribesAndMakers day 20: The alpha male is a misconception perpetuated in popular media that our featured creator works against in her wolf books. What's a misconception that bothers you in popular media?
The "we only use 10% of our brains" thing is the first one that comes to mind. Oooooh, do I hate that one!
[Edited to Add: And I love the variety of really good answers other people are giving! *So many* excellent ones!]
Oh lordy yes. I usually explain that no part of the brain is "unused", but that if you actually used it all at the same time, you would have a massive grand mal seizure and probably die
