Bought a laptop for playing video games on because I didn't already have enough things getting in the way of writing

The spirit of Muad'Dib is more than words, more than the letter of the Law which arises in his name. Muad'Dib must always be that inner outrage against the complacently powerful, against the charlatans and the dogmatic fanatics.

Dear authors,
🔁 Repost if you write even when you’re tired, distracted, or doubting yourself. That’s real dedication.

An exercise in optimistic thought: what if Ai doesn't try to kill us all? What if it becomes a force for good to help us negate the ape brains that have put as all in this situation? An Ai probably won't buy into ideologies based on false principles

As AI art becomes more prominent, I imagine that there will be people whose artistic output will consist of interpreting generated images and finding meaning in them

writing fantasy is awesome because I can either pop off in great detail explaining the inner workings of a system I made up or just go "it's magic bitch, I'm not explaining shit" and both are perfectly viable approaches

Or you've used the same word twice, too closely together, and it feels awkward, so you rack your brain to come up with a synonym to replace one of them that works as well, and you finally do, only to read on and see you used that synonym in the next paragraph.

This Earth Day, enjoy the natural beauty all around you.
The shiny fangs of the moss goblins, the sharp antlers of the bog beasts, the grasping claws of the forest ghouls as they wrap around your ankles.

For me, one of the best things about writing is reading through your work and finding common motifs or themes that indicate what you're obsessed with and don't realise it

Post a quote that got you right in the feels.
Here’s one of my absolute favourites:
Here’s one of my absolute favourites:
![‘Orwell's vision of our terrible future was that world - the world in which books are banned or burned. Yet it is not the most terrifying world I can think of. I think instead of Huxley [...] I think of his Brave New World. His vision was the more terrible, especially now because it appears to be rapidly coming true, whereas the world of 1984 did not. What is Huxley's horrific vision? It is a world where there is no need for books to be banned, because no one can be bothered to read one.’
