It's getting worse. I spent all my half-waking hours being like "what if this" and "what if that" and now I am convinced. Time to tie the grander narrative about the self vs the other in the vein of genocidal imperialism to the main character's pyschosexual desires and experiences. #writesky
I have been doing a lot of heavy brainstorming to try to come up with a better ending to one of my “finished” novels and I am so very tempted to end it with a very weird sex scene.

I love describing feelings as landscapes. I love the grotesque. I love describing body horror. I love when the words have a rhythm. I love specific words and how they feel. I love repetition, sentences that wind on and on in delirium and hard stops as the writing itself swallows its breath.
Talk to me, fellow writers.
We all joke writing being hard—and it is, sometimes!—but I want to hear about the writing that bring you joy, too.
Not "what are you good at". That's a different question. What makes the words flow? What makes you go <sickos at the window> when you get to write it?

It needs to be said more often that the world is a better, more beautiful and more enriching place BECAUSE trans people are a part of it.

Thinking again about possible endings to my body horror alien novel. As a story that frames the drive for catharsis as an antagonistic force, the I want the ending to deliberately deny catharsis to both the characters and reader. It’s a complicated goal. #writesky #writingcommunity

I got to see an active volcano once. It made me understand why people believe in gods. It's so primal and dangerous and indifferent to you. It's so fast and deadly and beautiful.

S9E3 just dropped: it's Charles Hitchen, who played both sides of a corrupt, pay-to-play criminal justice system in Georgian England, all while touring through London's infamous "molly houses," back rooms of taverns or gin houses, where queer men could meet and cruise. badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑
Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.
We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

I decided to take my older drawing of Nyn Naura Ma Gorggia and draw over it to update it for some of the design changes I've settled on over the years. #ocsky #monsterdesign
