I feel this shifting for me. I write what I want to read, and hope it resonates with others. But more and more I feel like I want to write to do something… like, if writing is so ineffectual, why are so many trying to silence us? But I need to find the place where craft meets friction.
Been pondering the "write for yourself / no, write for an audience" convos I've seen going around. This obviously varies for everyone, but for me it's "write for myself, edit for an audience." I can't finish a project unless I retreat into a bubble and pretend nobody will ever read it--

Another thousand words today. Most importantly, tho, I have a clean first 50 pages.
I'm not trying to sell this book on spec, so there's no rush, but clean first 50 and synopsis is what you sell on if you ARE shopping, and it's cool to feel like I'm a real writer again doing real writing things 😂

In light of the astronomical increases for my health insurance next year, I thought it would be a good time to encourage people to subscribe. (A few hundred should cover it. Sigh.)

Resentful that it requires such extreme focus for me to write a whole ass book these days, but delighted it DOES hapeen. I've def gotten better at not only seeing what doesn't work, but identifying why, and also how to fix it. "If you're keeping the character for x, you'll need to link them to y."

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.

ICE deported him anyways.
They literally put a man who was at death’s door on a plane to Costa Rica.
Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own.
What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this?
He died a few weeks after deportation:

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years.
We hear of a few, but most barely make the news.
Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.
He was in perfect health when ICE detained him.
He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.
Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I think it is okay for fiction to be a little blunt at times. Ursula Le Guin could be in your fucking face blunt at times, and its some of her most powerful work. Terry Pratchett is blunt as a sledgehammer.
But you have to have something to say, and it can't be about how important your work is
