I made it here from Twitter/X.
Being terribly reductive, I'm a writer of vampire & supernatural fiction, and am a lesbian.
If you like vampires & faeries, with all the dark and mature themes that can entail, you might enjoy visiting my modern world with both @ Royal Road: tinyurl.com/maevekcroft

Jeff Landry is actually legitimately evil. Disgusting.
The city of New Orleans uses the Mississippi River as drinking water. Our current governor begged the state to remove funding from the city of New Orleans to fix the pumps and the decaying sewage and water system UNTIL the DA agrees to prosecute women for abortions. www.essence.com/news/louisia...

Usually, I'm a "pantser" writer, which generally works well for me. However, I've been trying an exercise in writing in which I did a complete outline and tried to "pants" the details of each chapter, and I have to admit, it's been a hideous struggle.
I did not expect this. It's wild.

Another Monday. 😐
I have too many different threads, and I can't decide which to follow going forward - it's kind of paralyzing my writing process. I've already dumped a couple, even though I liked them, because they didn't seem to have enough "punchiness" at this point in the story.

I decided that boded ill for that project and tossed it. I like the idea of the secondary-turned-main character, though, so I'll probably keep her in the back pocket for a while. 🤷♀️
I had a weird situation where I decided I liked a secondary character in a novel far greater than the original main character. It took me the better part of the day to swap things around (I was about ~25k words or so in). I hadn't had that little wrinkle happen before, but I trusted my instinct. 🤔

I finally caught up on "What We Do in the Shadows'" latest season, and honestly, the "Come Out and Play" episode is one of the most hilarious I've seen from that show. Most of the episodes are pretty good, too.
Honestly, it's so sad this is their last season. This show is too, too good.

I spent about thirty minutes innumerable times all weekend and today just looking at a blank page with a blinking cursor. Then, like a heavenly beam shining on me from on high, I was suddenly struck and could write again.
Inspiration is such a weird thing.
Maybe I need a muse.
Taking applications? 😂

If you’re a writer it’s important to have a range of friends so when you get a text saying “my life is so weird” there’s a legitimate chance the next text will be: I won a Nobel prize, or

Cats and Christmas decorations. It is always an enjoyable time. 😂 My girl just takes a running start and uses the tree skirt like a ski slope. Occasionally, I just hear it "whooooosh" across the floor.

The amount of cooking work the day before Thanksgiving should be considered billable hours to people you don't necessarily want to come to the family dinner.

I just finished a short story that's an "extended" version of the series I'm working on, which wouldn't really fit into the series itself. I'm actually pretty proud of it. I almost wish I'd made it a focal point of one of the series' books.
I haven't had this feeling about something before, wild. 🤔
