Yes, I know what you mean.
How do you βnormal peopleβ get through the day?

I don't know really.
This is such a great poem!

I actually noticed an opposite tendency. When indie writing is good, it's way better than anything that got squeezed through traditional publishing.
To me, the quality comes from words turning into scenes before I even realize it, and taking me along to thoughts I never knew I needed.
Oh wow, a whole story in one picture...
Thanks for letting me know! I found your blog. It looks interesting.
The most exciting precipice :)
Do you publish your novels online?
It sounds interesting. Is it a snippet from the essay? Can it be found online?
I got curious and checked out the sample on Amazon. The format is so dynamic too. It feels like it expands the meaning. It's kind of symbolic to discover this book a day after 8th March. Thanks for sharing this.
Double-checking all the recent drafts at once. What about you?
The title is intriguing.

I often wonder about it, too. I don't know many people who read books. And they don't know they don't read books. They just think by default that they do.
I think you are right. I stayed away from SM for some time. So at first, even Bluesky felt a bit too much.
It's interesting what you said about the 300-character limit. I also wonder if it teaches people not to engage on a more complex level -- there would be no room for such a conversation, anyway.
I feel like Bluesky is an immense ocean of exciting discoveries, but I am stuck in a bubble I don't seem to be able to break through. I mainly hear my own echo.

Also, those who need to be appeased usually can be appeased only temporarily. They'll come back with more demands for you to change.

Breathtaking photos and a very inspiring story!

That's why I'm mesmerized when I see vertical layers. Imagine the sheer force that tipped them this way!
