I wish this was a sure-fire guide on how to have fun. Sadly, it's not.
But hey, it's a start
The fun in writing
...and where to find it

This is based on the assumption that if you take the huge leap, then somehow a sort of divine justice will grant you success and recognition.

Doesn't happen. The market won't magically recognize your worth if you starve yourself. If anything you'll just make yourself more vulnerable.
Just saw the WORST advice to give on a general level, which is to just quit your day job, willy-nilly, to become a writer. The suggestion was to let yourself go feral/get backed into a corner and figure it out.

And oh my god,can we just KILL the idea that one has to struggle/starve to make art? No.

Amazing how this, "the supportive alternative to Twitter", has already spiraled down into the same racist bullshit.

Dear bluesky,
can I interest you in some magical realism today?

Consultancy Blues is my latest collection. It is, by any definition, a harsh book about sad, lonely people; a love letter to Abe Kobo; and a fever dream into the horrors of daily office routine.
It's available on Kindle and Kobo

I have the bad vice of asking rhetorical questions
Are short stories profitable?
A tough thought experiment

I don’t go a day without seeing the same debate over Twitter or Discord. Authors forced to swallow the usual form rejections over and over until desperation sets in. “Are my stories even being read?”.
Yes, this one is spicy, and yes, no editor was hurt in the process

I approve the notion to move this to nonfiction
Why is this part of the spec lit feed, a feed for the speculative literature world, oh my god...! 😭
It definitively should be part of the nonfiction.

Ink October, day 23: Paparazzo

India ink, brush, nib pen.

The backruns are why I often prefer sumi ink.

Hey, wouldn't it be cool to talk to animals?

Actually no, according to BG3 developers. Each animal I talk with is an asshole and I want to kill them. I'll soon write a Medium article on "How Baldur Gate turned me into an hypercarnivore"
So who actually killed the owlbear?

Wrote a thing about scrolling IG for this year's Writober. I'm doing it in my native language, but every now and then I manage to translate stuff. It's on the blog.
