Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

lmao. Ideas are a dime a dozen and that's overcharging by 9 cents.
I fear running out of time to tell the stories I want to tell.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

I've been informed I should use "anymore" instead of "any more" in the sentence "Elliot wasn't screaming any more."
I like it my way. But I can't prove it's right.
Does anyone have any proof of why it should be one or the other?

I started my current WIP with:
What do I like in a char?
1. Relatable
2. Clever
3. They do things rather than letting things happen to them.
4. Friendly
5. I can pronounce their name
6. a good backstory
7. a better story-to-come
8. somehow the character is adrift from their family

#LateNightWrite If they share the setting, they share the characters and are part of the same world of stories (unless it's Earth). I like stories where something has to be saved and something is wrong and must be put right, so I write those kinds of stories, but with their own themes.

I work on one at at time for now.
I have ideas churning all the time. I have to write out what I want to write about before one of them sticks and I write that book. And sometimes multiple ideas stick to one want, so I mesh them together.

Ursula did super well but she's going to get soft in trad publishing where the editors are nice to her.
Anyway! DAGGERBOUND by T Kingfisher! A delightful romp with mild to moderate Ursula-standard horrors and plenty of old friends I have sorely missed. Out next August, pre-order now!

Good evening #LateNightWrite. I am Morgan and I am easily distracted (not that I'm doing this while modding a stream and also while writing). I write sapphic sci-fi mostly, but I also have a trans self-discovery story coming out in December. Dunno what I'll talk about tonight.
Happy Saturday and welcome to another #LateNightWrite! Let's start with Introductions, tell us about yourself and your WIP(s) in any way you like.
