You are likely going to have trouble writing as the news keeps rolling in. I have a free class for you about how to navigate wanting to write in the face of all of this bullshit.
Hey there... are you having a hard time writing right now? There's a lot of that right now. Weird, right?

So I'd like to offer you my Barriers to Writing class for free. This is about all the non-writing things that get between you and writing.

It remains to be seen whether this book will get me out of my post-first-draft rut, but I am really enjoying in nonetheless.

I need to get the final shot of Nosferatu printed and framed and I need to hang it up in my house somewhere

I read a lot of writing about movies and the one that hit me hardest and stuck with me is this one. It sums up the horrors of 2024 beautifully.

Pay attention to the 1530s if you're interested in astrological cycles. 1533 was a year when Neptune moved from Pisces to Aries, and Pluto had just moved into Aquarius. Exactly like 2025.
I don't see many long threads on here, but I'll try one - it's about Holbein's Ambassadors, his 1533 masterpiece in the National Gallery. It's often presented as a great mystery, but I think once we understand the circumstances in which it was made, its meaning becomes clearer.

Minor mental breakdown because I used my morning toner instead of my evening toner during my nighttime skincare routine. Being in your 30s is wild.

This account brought to you by obtaining the correct glasses prescription for the first time in half a decade, looking up at the night sky, seeing Mars and Jupiter and Sirius, crying a bit, and thinking "damn, I need somewhere to talk about this."
