I know you to be tough but fair, and sociopathic.

I once crucified a main character (he survived, just). I wonder if there's an alternate universe where book characters get to revisit the harm writers inflict on them.
I once read that horror writers tend to be some of the nicest kindest of people; possibly because they use their shadow/darkness-

-as a creative force in fiction rather than in the outward world (what people inaccurately call "real life")

This makes Iain Banks the second coming of Jesus.

viviennetuffnell.bsky.social•31 days ago

I think I might concur!!!

I still wouldn't hold his kite for him ⛱️ 🪁🫢

I wouldn't hold a kite for anyone, to be honest.

I never thought I was a cruel person until I started writing.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when characters suddenly cease to breathe....

This is the way.

Having recently finished Children of Memory, I’m feeling guilt for liking this.

Fun? The fun really starts when your characters tell you what to do.

On a scale of 1 to Idris, just how sadistic are you gonna be in this one?

Having recently finished House of Open Wounds, I am not surprised by this

Be kind to them, they’re just children under the boot of an angry god.

Screw the characters. Oh, you're already doing that ...

philip-mach.bsky.social•32 days ago

Currently ⅔ through Children of Time and still not clear who’s happy or not. But that’s no doubt the point.

Because of your books I'm now pretty comfortable with my brain being modified by aliens.

Or maybe it's already happened and that's why I'm ok with it.

mr-creosote.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'm half way through Shards Of Earth at the moment, and have already been more upset than I was for the deaths of some fairly close relatives. How could you?

Spiders?

Less with the freakin' spiders!
