Hardest: Scenes where the progression of the story/plot occurs primarily in the dialogue, verbal fights.
Easiest: gonzo fantasy moments, like Mila getting swept up into a tide of photos or Aisha fleeing a collapsing spell.

What scenes are the hardest and easiest for you to write?
Hardest for me: Drawn out battle scenes. Takes me forever to write because I'm trying to keep the action going.
Easiest: Dialogue. I trained on Gilmore Girls, Tolkien and Buffy lmao. Dialogue is my jam.

A question for readers and fellow writers: how would you describe my prose?
I was thinking about it before. I feel like I have very "functional" prose. I don't generally lean towards poetic in tone, but I do have elements of stream-of-consciousness and a narrative voice, even in third-person.

I wonder when we will reach the skeuomorphic point, or have reached the point, where the standard phone icon is no longer understood as representing a phone, but is just an icon. "A phone is a rectangle, not a banana with weird growths on the ends."

I have a story in this one! “Don’t Be Late” is about kid pop stars The Bunny Brothers, who grew up with an abusive human “father” and are now struggling with adult life. #FurryWriting
They say that blood is thicker than water, but they also say you can’t choose your family. These twelve authors have something to say about both. Grab "Tales from the Guild: Blood and Water" from the @furrywritersguild.bsky.social at fenrispublishing.com/product.php?...

Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart". Read this for school, and I found the final chapter of it one of the most emotionally devastating gut-blows in literature. As a writer myself, I've found myself trying to emulate Achebe's skill on this.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"
