If you see shocking news today, this is just my reminder that it’s April Fools day today.
Unless the shocking news is some US Based hellscape thing then that probably happened. Double check. #aprilfools

It is not enough just to hate genAI. You do also need to support real artists- buying product, subscribing to their memberships, and most importantly for free by giving rebleets and comments. Outrage is not enough, there also needs to be undeniable support.

Sometimes it feels like there are 2 ppl in me and for 1 of them things are going really good/easy. they’re having a great time. the other 1 is having an Ody “all I hear are screams” moment nonstop every day at the cliff side. there is no way to reconcile or calm down these two things.

I feel like some cuisines really figured out vegetables. Like some were like “any vegetable can become a dip if you mash it and season it enough” and they were right and also better than anyone else.

I once had a journal send me a form rejection and part of that form rejection was a link to their YouTube video where they extend their form rejection by telling you common reasons people get rejected and I’m like. Thanks but no thanks? Do you all have opinions in this?? #amwriting #amquerying

Have you ever had a character who should appeal to you in every way, but instead they’re just so boring. For me it’s always the characters who otherwise would be appealing but every other character acts like they are The Most Ever. Immediately my dislike heightens dramatically. #amreading #booksky

I never know what thing I write is going to resonate with readers. I’ll write something I consider to be a masterpiece and feedback will be like, a shrug and a nod. Then I’ll write a Silly Little Guy and get told it’s the best thing I’ve ever written. #amwriting #writersky #creativewriting

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
Well, if that was true I'd be ripped with impressive muscles. Instead I have noodle arms and dysphoria. Maybe stuff could quit being so bad now, yeah?

5th grade baby me: I want to be an author who illustrates my own works!
YA me: That's not even how it works really, right? I should probably have more realistic goals.
30+ yr old me: The world is burning and the future is whatever. I want to be an author who illustrates my own work.

As I obsess over fic, what it means to me, the beautiful and wild writing I’ve found in it, and the absolute comfort of its inherent familiarity, I find myself soft hearted and warm for ppl who put so much love into stories just for the sake of it. Thank all fic writers so much.

I just saw a 400k word fic. Haha, we are all! Absolutely! Obsessed with the blorbos. Warms the heart. I don’t know what to tag this, I just love fandom.

I have written about 15k words in the last few days, and I have been so proud of myself for finally breaking out of my Near Permanent Struggle to get out the words. Anyone have a similar breakthrough? What helped you get back at it? #amwriting #writersky #booksky

The world is burning. I’ve finally caved to my writing origins. I’m writing a demon loving, monster worship homage to all the best fanfic I’ve read or written in all 21 years I’ve been reading it. Doing what you love and making it fun is the only way to survive in this shit. #amwriting #writersky

I need to follow more writing, art, and book ppl. I tried to let that happen organically but its definitely been a trickle, not a roar. If you do any of those things in ANY form of the fantasy genre, like this and I will check you out and (probably) follow you! #writersky #booksky #artsky #fantasy

Me when I should be working on my Serious Novel: what if I made the monsterfucker series of my dreams?
Now I’m here, writing an introduction to a series where a pathetic man pines after a giant Snake Demon Monster Prince who could and probably would kill him.

Idea I love but am too tired for:
Every "remote herb found only in a deeply isolated mountain village" is actually in the same village. A single village, more specifically, a single garden. The man is a collector and he is old as dirt (maybe literally.)
