here's the (gorgeous) cover for my next book, Seek the Traitor's Son!

Quick pitch:

It's about the daughter of a bounty hunter
the Knight sworn to protect her
...and the prophecy that ruins both of their lives.

2/3 of the way through "Asunder" by @kerstinhall.bsky.social, and it's been a phenomenal read. In healthier, less busy times, I would 100% commit myself to making a song for this book on the next LS album, but for now I must ask you all to check out her work and this novel. Exceptional writing.

To the gentleman who walked past our Zohran table this weekend (next to his girlfriend) and tossed out an ice cold “kill yourself”, now seems like the right moment to say: kill me yourself, coward.

High Tide 🌊 ✨ Hey guys I just finished this new painting in my ongoing series of paintings called ‘A Starry Place’ where I explore spaces that are meaningful and nostalgic to me. This piece is inspired by overcoming insurmountable challenges.

My other favorite that should have gone supernova if it hasn't yet is Asunder by @kerstinhall.bsky.social. Possibly a little horror-themed for you based on some of the things you say in this thread, but more in setting than plot. Worth a shot I think.

so the process of writing is a process of realizing how imperfect and incomplete that idea was, and actually working out all the rest of it. writing, in other words, is a process of thinking: a particularly disciplined one, that takes you from a warm feeling to a genuine reality.

you see vc guys crowing about how with ai "anyone can write a novel!"

speaking as someone who has in fact written a novel (not a very good one), this speaks to a familiar misunderstanding of the difficulty of the creative process--in particular, how much conception there is in execution

Me, for the past week: writing is terrible! this project is doomed! I am an embarrassment and a disgrace, and I want to cry.

Me, after successfully focusing on work for about two hours: actually, it’s fine.
