I mean, I'm doing just fine with my local library, but I'd like to have the option to support other writers/local bookshops someday.

Perhaps the biggest irony of being a full-time writer is you can't afford to buy books.

Dear @kelloggscerealus.bsky.social, you could stand to lower the sugar about 50%

Dear @postcereal.bsky.social, a *little* bit of sugar wouldn’t hurt

I’m working on Grumio the Musical as a gift for my partner. Thing is, I don’t know the first thing about writing musicals or songs. (I’m a quick study and a sharp writer)

Who has pointers?

Oh, and this is Grumio. We call him the dauphin.

Everyone says build the fundamentals then learn how to break them.

Do it the other way around. Hold nothing sacred, then jimmy in just enough form to become familiar. Fundamentals are easy to learn. That’s why fundamentalists are so basic.

Obviously, that's likely a reflection of the pipeline, not market demand.

Is Romantasy out? Just read through a bunch of agent wishlists ~30) and half of the ones accepting fantasy asked for B-plot romance or none at all.

Two of my five most recent posts. One, from a month ago, reads: it’s never too late for caltrate. This references a fiber supplement advertised some 30-odd years ago.

The other post is a picture of spider poop.

Sex scenes and fight scenes are the exact same thing.

Long Chile is still more famous than Bryce Eldridge. For now.

If you leave a spider alone for long enough, you end up with a pile of spider shit.

Now, being on podcasts…I like that. It’s fun.

Hey! I finally found my people. Everyone I know loves podcasts, and I just don’t get them. I can read a full article in the time it takes for the hosts to greet themselves and tell a couple in-jokes. And I don’t know where they find the time.

Some kind of kaiju appearing briefly in the North Sea there. I wonder what that's about? πŸ€”

As far as I’m awareβ€”and I’m not an authorityβ€”what you’re asking for doesn’t exist short of finding a successful Patreon account willing to collab.

Agreed. Style and brand are perhaps related and certainly interact, but they are not the same thing.

If you’d like Grammarly to have options for turning off AI, you have to complain to them. I got a response saying this has been on their product roadmap for ages, but demand isn’t high enough to prioritize it.

Demand it!

For perfectly understandable reasons, the publishing industry wants us to tell our stories as quickly as possible. But, it can never seem like you’re rushing. If a reader catches you rushing, they will hate you in small ways for it.

I’m going to admit something that will make me sound 20 years older than I am…

I’m still not sure I’m board with emoticons, and I only use emojis so folks will stop bothering me without thinking me rude.

:-D
