I've got a question for #ArtSky about writers being inspired by your work.

I've never shared a piece of work without attribution. And I've never had an artist be anything but grateful I shared their work—until today.

I suggested that truly stuck writers go be inspired by art, w an example piece.

When your blank document is open and the flashing cursor seems to be mocking you: Art!

r/ImaginaryWorlds is a treasure trove.

[editor's note: we're talking about writing exercises, borrowing an element—not IP theft. I felt that was obvious in an earlier version of this post, but here we are.]

It's important—especially in this climate—to say early: everyone but bigots are welcome here.

If that made you feel some kind of way, I'm not the page, writer, or editor for you.

I prefer worlds as diverse as our own.

Discrimination and trollery will get the boot faster than a Nazi at a punk bar.

Hi! I edit books, mostly fiction. Kicking off my Bluesky presence with this week's blog post: finding that perfect word.

The perfect word is often the most specific, and therefore descriptive.

And it's not in a thesaurus.
