We promise you. It’s true.
caught a cold literally the day I was getting ready to write a load-bearing scene in my new novel's first draft. #writesky please send me some energy so I can finish my scene of eldritch encounters of the sexy kind.
#WriteSky me while I'm trying to focus on an unrelated task: figuring out the perfect way to move the plot forward, coming up with witty banter, emotional scenes, fun character moments, lush descriptions
me as soon as I open Word to write all that down:
MCU!Loki is not a Hear Me Out. Sorry.
shoutout to the time a teenage boy on the street called me a "ladyman" to his friends as I passed them, to make fun of my very butch outfit. you ended up giving me +500 Gender Points, my guy.
An anatomical theatre featuring stadium seating with wooden railings. At the centre is a table on which dissections would have taken place.
The oldest-surviving anatomical theatre in the world, built in 1594 and located in Padua. At the center stands a table on which the dissections of human or animal bodies took place. You can still visit it today. Photo: Daily Art Magazine.
Hey, look at this vintage Hungarian cover for Dracula - it's one of my favorite editions of this book. He's just kind of standing there. (This is an alternate version of a 1925 cover drawn by Tibor Gönczi-Gebhardt.)

Just heard the best quote for creatives!
“Perfectionism doesn’t raise our standards. It lowers our output.” -Helen Wells
Damn, I needed that.
someone recently ended a five-year friendship with me because I said that using AI for creative work was unethical even if it made things easier for them as a struggling writer. so let me just clarify - I hate AI, and if you use it to write, I'm more than happy to never, ever be friends again.
if you leaned in close to this person, you could hear one (1) braincell screaming out its loneliness.
armed with a pocket notebook, sticky tabs and good writing supplies. I'm gonna write the hell out of that new WIP over the weekend.

It’s totally okay to be inspired by something you think is bad or otherwise have a lot of criticisms of. A story could be flawed but still have ideas and concepts you like. Good ideas deserve to be done properly. To be used to their full potential.

My neighbor self published this book. You don’t have to buy it, he’d be happy if you just viewed it. store.bookbaby.com/book/happy-s...
inscription on my vintage secondhand copy of Invitation to a Beheading by Vladimir Nabokov (written in a near-unreadable chicken scratch): "to be read ONLY when the blood alcohol content exceeds 120 milligrams per whatever".
damn, I love buying used books. #booksky
7. You don't need cops to investigate the horrors in a horror story. Humans are naturally curious and seldom mind their own business. Have some self-respect and cast a librarian.
I am so tired of waiting, Aren’t you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two – And see what worms are eating At the rind.

Not gonna lie: I'm having a tough time. @tealcartoons.bsky.social & I have a kids' book out soon called DEAD ENDS. It's for kids 8-12, but we think everyone will like it. I'd love if you'd consider preordering a signed copy from @mysteriousbookshop.com 👇

An illustration of the dissected female body with sections folding to right and left to show other aspects of dissection, and portions of the anatomy that lift up to show the structures underneath
A large anatomical ‘fugitive leaf’ from Cassell’s People’s Physician, Vol. 5, published in the 1930s. These kind of anatomical illustrations with fold out sections functioned as paper dissections, and were intended to help non-medical audiences learn about anatomy.

I have at least three separate projects to work on besides my first book that's in the works for being published next month, but the Muse has decided to sneak up on me and hit me in the head with an entirely new idea. fourth new project, here we go. #justwriterthings

Apply this to all calls in general, please, if you're marginalized in any way. Because you're used to not being welcome to sit at the table, so fuck that noise and impose your much-needed contribution on the writing world. Because you know the cishet white guys aren't stressing about being too bold.
I don't want to write a relatable romance plot. I prefer writing a romance plot that makes the readers want to study both characters under a microscope to understand what is going on with them. #writing
congratulations!!
From now on when there's any discourse about the female gaze and what defines a sexy, manly man, I'm just going to start posting this video
You, of course, know what to do:

getting weight loss ads on apps I use always fills me with the urge to rip a tree out of the ground and beat something with it. it's so insidious.
