Nothing makes me feel more dumb than attempting to write a clever character. I r the smart. #writing

Paul Krueger: I have written my characters into a tight corner so they can escape it to demonstrated their ingenuity, but I forgot one key detail: that escape is to be written by me, a dumbass.

The number of times "You can't make this shit up" is applicable seems to continually increase. Granted, the motel isn't self-described as haunted, but we are talking clowns here.
plaguedocboi: Alright, was no one going to tell me that in the middle of the Nevada desert is an old cemetery that contains the bodies of a bunch of miners who died in a fire and next door is a haunted clown motel. *There's a picture of a garish motel with overtop the clown decorations that says "Clown Motel." Why are we still setting horror movies in generic Victorian houses in the woods when this is a real place in the world. gayteensupreme: I'm at the miner cemetery. I'm at the haunted clown motel. I'm at the combination miner cemetery and haunted clown motel. dduane: I'm tell you, there are days when the universe just raises the bar for fantasy writers with NO fecking notice whatsoever.

Alright, #gamers, answer the question!

There's an image of a Tonberry and a Malboro from the Final Fantasy games. The Tonberry is like a weird looking turtle with a lamp and a cleaver. The Malboro has two dozen eyes, wicked sharp teeth, and slithers around on a mass of tentacles. It's known for emitting bad breath which blinds, silences, poisons, and sometimes confuses which can often cause immediate death. The text reads: "Would you rather be trapped in a mall for 24 hours with a Tonberry or a Malboro?" Someone answers: "Are they, like, mad at me or just at the mall too?"

Because I found some fire #memes. I appropriately cropped it for your viewing pleasure.

I finished playing #Okami the other day and here are my stats! Zero deaths! (Not that it's very hard to not die in Okami. Or at least...I don't think it is.)
Beautiful Okami illustration there are a series of states - Deaths: 0 - shows a fully blossomed tree and a wolf's head. Enemies Defeated: 439 - shows a growing tree. Money Gained: 3533019 Yen - shows a fully-leafed tree. Demon Fangs Found: 231 - Shows a growing tree. Praise Earned: 3503 - Shows a growing tree.

I want to believe that this is true. I'm inclined to believe this is true. But they mentioned studies and didn't cite one. #AI #writing
Twitter user Boze the Library Owl: People say, "If you're not using AI to write, you'll be left behind!" Meanwhile, study after study has shown severe and immediate cognitive decline in those who use it regularly. I'm still capable of reading and have a functioning brain, so who's really being left behind here?"

I AM relaxed, oh wait...
Tweet text: I feel like at this point, if I unclench my jaw and relax my shoulders, I will probably dissolve like cotton candy in the rain.

You can take my em dashes and my Oxford commas from my cold, dead hands.
Photo is a screenshot from Office Space of Michael Bolton and Samir talking. Caption above the picture: being recommended to stop using em dashes because ChatGPT uses them a lot. Michael says: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

I haven't actually finished #ASOIAF, but these book covers are fire!
A bookshelf in a store that has the A Song of Ice and Fire book series: A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance With Dragons. Each of the books incorporates each of the major house's sigil animal in a creative manner.

Life is messy and most of us out here creating art are forced to rely on other means to make a living. Self-care is important for you and it's important for your art! #writersky
TV host from Joker: "You're telling me you think you don't need to write or draw every day to be a writer or artist?" The Joker: "I do and I'm tired of those pointless expectations."

It tends to come out a bit better on the page, but still needs an edit. #writersky
A picture of a cat and a derpy cake that looks similar to the cat. The cat has the caption: The sentence in my mind. The derpy cat cake has the caption: Literally, the same sentence when I try to say it out loud.

This graphic pairs nicely with my favorite piece of writing advice: you can't edit a blank page. #writersky
User writes: "Best writing advice." The picture below shows two colored circles. One is rough around the edges, incomplete and the color goes outside the lines. The caption above it says, "Just make it exist first." The second circle is a perfect circle with the color neatly in the lines. The caption says, "You can make it good later."

God, I miss not having to wake up to a new horror ever single day. I also loved and miss all the Obama Biden memes.
A picture of Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Obama has his head in his hands. Joe: How about ... we Barrack-ade ourselves in the Joe-val office. Obama: Joe, what are you saying? Joe: Think about it.

Synonym lists are my friend lately because it's the only way I can get close to a word I can't quite remember but am certain exists.
User 1: I am a(n): Option a: Male Option b: female Selection Option c: Writer (which is selected) Looking for Option a: Boyfriend Option b: Girlfriend Selected Option c: An incredibly specific word that I can't remember. User 2: *wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat* WAIT IT'S CALLED A THROW PILLOW.

I wonder if it's somehow weighted to fall on one side more than the other. #booksky
"This coin will help you decide if you should read one more chapter or just go to bed." - One side of the coin shows a hand holding an open book that says 'One more chapter.' The other side of the coin shows sheep jumping over a sleeping person.

I don't like to write when my brain is firing on less than all four cylinders. Crap!

Phone just updated to add new AI features and they tied it to the damn power button. I had to go through menus to restart my phone. Seriously, how stupid can you get.
American Psycho character Patrick Bateman: "Oh, you added a new AI feature? Impressive. Very nice. Now, show me how I disable it."

I think I'd have a heart attack if this happened, even if I immediately restored it. Pretty sure my heart skipped a beat just reading this. #writersky
Laura Elliott: "I used to get my kicks by doing things like skydiving and imbibing questionable substances on nights out, but let me tell you that nothing compares to the electricity that just leapt through my body as I accidentally deleted my entire novel manuscript and then restored it with an undo."
