🔥 Top post I want a shirt that says, IF YOU CAN READ THIS, I'M INTROVERTING WRONG. ★ 38
Feel free to take a nap if you are so inclined. ★ 7 Everything about writing is easy except deciding upon the order of the words. ★ 5 RE: https://mstdn.social/@lifewithtrees/116603149698397843 I love that the true weirdoes are the 4% who answered 'not weird/not weird.' ★ 5 I've decided to share writing wisdom. So far I have, "Slow the fuck down, except in places where that is not necessary" and "a strong beginning is important, but so is a strong end and a strong middle." Possible that 'writing wisdom' isn't… ★ 6 You know you've been away for a minute when your bio mentions your novel that is forthcoming in 2024. ★ 5 I bounced off MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION, so happily assigned Moshfegh to my mental bin of 'Brilliant Young Genius Phenom Novelist Geniuses' about who I don't need to care. Two days ago, I read her novella MCGLUE--which centers around … ★ 5 I don't mind AIs scraping my books but now they're mining my sex appeal. ★ 8 Does anyone have a spare invitation for getting off the internet and doing a little writing? ★ 16 Just had an espresso so I could concentrate better, and now I am absolutely laser-focused on procrastinating. ★ 15 I love the execs saying, "We just don't have the money to pay writers," like a restaurant saying, "We simply can't _afford_ edible ingredients."

Watch this space for more! ★ 4

About

Captain of midlisting ship. I wrote the CRY PILOT trilogy (Ace Books), MARIGOLD BREACH audio drama (with Jameela Jamil and Manny Jacinto!), a mess of novels under various names for Harper, Doubleday, S&S, etc. And the novel of my heart, THE RAGPICKER, is forthcoming in 2024 from Meerkat Press. Opinions unfounded. (Avatar is a white-and-orange robot patting a smaller bot on the head.)
