genuine question. anyone ever wake up and just have a random epiphany about writing that causes you to see exactly what is wrong with your work and exactly how you need to proceed. this may have happened me.

Why is there so much fiction with the central concept of 'a powerful woman's magic can be taken away by rape', and why is all of it written either by men or straight women

had a weird dream of a dystopian future in which corporations are treated as not just people, but as a protected class.

came with odd things like discrimination suits against small businesses for not letting them advertise in their stores. in this future large corps were the ONLY protected class

When people on here share that they aren’t concerned about the fate of over 1 million people because that’s a relatively small number of people I’m like oh um actually you’re supposed to care about minorities

An org for sexually abused people acquiescing to the wishes of a sexual abuser loses credibility.

i haven’t substantially written in months because of….ahem. But I did submit my work to a lit mag today and I’m very very excited about that.

perhaps that’s a step back into writing because it’s starting to physically hurt that i haven’t really been Writing With Purpose.

when you make systems level progress i dont think a lot of you realize that you have to bust your ass to keep even an inch of it in place. if you only care ab protecting human rights when trump’s in office, no matter how rigorous you are, policy will snap back. you have to fight perpetually. 🧵

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash

Reading new illegal decrees from Trump and Elon sucks but reading that institutions are complying with them in advance is devastating

There seems to be some ambient desire to bring back "Edgy" but put it in The Right Peoples hands and Im sorry but the 13 year old who reads Elfen Lied and wants to turn into a bolt of lightning that kills people understands the concept better than you do.

When I see an LGBTQ book w 1-star reviews vaguely complaining abt it being "full of grammatical errors" I assume the book either has characters w neopronouns or using they/them pronouns. It fucking sucks that fantastic books have low rating averages b/c some people just don't understand pronouns.

i think my writing is too weird for traditional lit mags and too normal for the experimental-ish ones. or like. maybe my writing's just contrived all around. or a secret fourth thing.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
