Oh nooooo, talking "too much" about writing again 😘
Besides that and you know, boringly surviving, I've been playing Snacko. It's a cute indie farming sim, clearly heavily inspired by SDV down to the "work sucked, escaped to idyllic country" opening. Except here you get shipwrecked with your BFF,

Out of 12 stories I've completed, only one centers a clearly romantic relationship, so I'm gonna ramble a lot on this one.
Healers 1-3: Debatable whether Agna and Keifon are romantic by book 3. IMO it is for him, isn't for her, and it's still central for both. Reader opinion varies🧵

Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋
(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

Really interesting points, although the pattern seems very different here vs. TikTok (the focus of this video). Authors with huge followings on Bsky do this, and it seems to work just fine.
That difference itself is interesting. Different community norms and whatnot.

After looking at the game backlog, I picked Snacko after all.
I thought about Fallout, but... it's the first week of the time change. My sleep has been messed up. I'm in front of a sun lamp as I write this. One brightly colored fluff, please! 🙋

So I sat down and wrote out all my writing-themed mental demons, with the hopes that they can live in a document instead of rent-free in my head.
Who knows if it'll help, but I feel a little better at the moment? I just want to keep moving, and for these thoughts to leave me alone.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Great question. I did not map out who my audience is (demos etc.), I still don't know who they are, and I refuse to Pick A Lane (write about one exact type of person always)
I kind of enjoy that, as bad a strategy as it is? It's a happy accident if anyone enjoys my work.
