Writing Accountability Post God this is going so slow and I don't know why. I'm having a hard time, maybe because this is the second book of the trilogy, maybe because I still have a lot to do for the first book. It is what it is, progress is progress!

A reminder that so many of you out there are rad fucking people who deserve love, freedom, and safety, and THAT'S what we're fighting for. We will crush these people not for the sake of crushing them - as they wish to do to us- but so every American, and so many others, can live their lives in peace

#SFFChat Q4 This is a first draft, so it's still a little messy. Ignatius is teaching Alistair to dance for the masquerade in a week, and Alistair is having some feelings about it. He's technically spoken for at this point (for now), but Ignatius is so pretty and nice to him and he's panicking.

#sffchat q3 Honestly I need more queer recommendations so if you've got some, leave them below! I'm woefully behind on my reading (self promo is fine)

Another thing you can do for the queer artists and writers and so on whose work you admire this Pride month: go give their books etc solid star ratings on (sigh) sites like Amazon and Goodreads. Because people who hate the existence of that work are always gonna be punitively low-rating them,

#SffChat Q2 It depends on the Society. Elves see gender and sexuality as fluid, in part because they were made by the gods from plants. Plants have genders and sexualities that you and I could not even dream of (I'm particularly thinking of mushrooms, but plants are very diverse)

#SFFChat Q1: 1/? All of my works are full of queer characters, so I'm going to start with the Dustlings Cast because I haven't talked about them very much (I'll also post character art from @avalonranger.bsky.social) but that's going to be under this because I talk so much.

#SFFChat Intro Hey, I'm Dante Atlas, and I'm about to write the big masquerade scene in book 2 of the WO which I've been looking forward to for a year or so! I've been spending a lot of time with my family this week, and I'm really grateful and glad I've been able to do that!

Your trauma conditioning is going to try to tell you, over & over again, that everything is your fault & everything is your responsibility-- but it'll also try to tell you you don't matter & are utterly powerless. Notice how Trauma Brain can't even pick a lane w/ its bullsh*t.

doing art for the sake of doing art is good for the soul and you should be doing it regardless of how much practice you've put in

#SFFChat (I'm really struggling to keep up on these woops) 5 - Well, WO has two major antagonists. And a minor one. Winifred relaxes by meditating, for a mad woman she does a crazy amount of self reflection. Grace (the minor antagonist) has religious rituals she cares out, she prays a lot.

For Alistair (WO main character) it's probably sword play. He's currently working on it, but he wishes it would go faster. Azariah (of my d&d game) would probably be all the languages she can get her hands on, she LOVES languages.

#WIPSnips June 5th-Point Oh this is a REALLY GOOD snip imo. Alistair and Margot are confronting Winifred for the first time since she killed Alistair's mother.

I love when my sleep schedule just DECIDES that we get up at 5pm after going to bed at noon. God, I miss being medicated.

I finally hit my writing groove and a dear friend interrupted me, I'm now storing all the white hot rage of a thousand suns as I try to recenter and try to find the groove... Again. 😒

For those of you who might use ChatGPT or any kind of GenAI for your writing, give this a read and maybe reconsider

I follow the news constantly and I have no idea why Democrats are talking about tacos. I can't even begin to imagine how sterile and weird of a message that is for uninformed voters.

Art is one of THE most accessible hobbies nowadays, it isn’t like Ye Olde Times, where you needed a rich patron to sponsor you to make art for them. Like I’m disabled, unemployed, but I STILL find ways, I’m poor, frugal, but am still able to draw. (My secret is I cheap out on a lot of shit. 😉) +

Kameron couldn't be more correct here, no matter what type of publishing we're talking about. It's not a game you win. It's a fight forever, and the only way to make your mark is to keep stepping up.
