When the Motivation to Write Is Nowhere to be Found What many people don’t tell you about motivation is that most of the time, it doesn’t come to you. You have to manifest it.

Relevant for me lately for sure. megdowell.com/2026/03/04/w...

What Does ‘Good Writing’ Look Like? What is good writing, anyway?

I’ll never forget the first day of my first creative writing course. I didn’t think I was an excellent writer, but I did have enough confidence to believe I might be one of the best in the room.

I was not even close to being the best in the room. megdowell.com/2026/02/25/w...

There’s a character in LOW RED MOON who is very clearly horny for ND-5, kudos to @mikechenwriter.bsky.social for including an audience insert

Building a custom PC in 2020 was fun but now … I somehow have to figure out which specific part needs replacing. Woo!
