Do your stories include maps? A #writer ’s map hints at a fully imagined world. At a #book 's beginning it’s a promise. In the middle, it’s a touchstone & a guide. At the end, a reminder of all the places the #story has taken you. By @slaskow.bsky.social www.atlasobscura.com/articles/wri...

Yes, Edge, that, and also a lack of responsibility for not taking time to (even at least superficially) familiarize yourself with recent history.

Don't you find it fascinating when someone, usually a #writer or philosopher, says something simple but it actually contains hidden complexity and hidden depth? I do! #thinking #EdwardGorey lithub.com/edward-gorey...

Born 2-22-25, #EdwardGorey would’ve been 100 today. “Working quite perversely to please himself,” he created “a whole little world” (Edmund Wilson). Happy centennial, Edward; you were born to be posthumous. May you always “make everyone as uneasy as possible.” (www.markdery.com/books/born-t...)

If you love fantasy adventures, especially ones that are simple, but with a lot of lore behind them, then The Phoenix and the Ant by SMVL Trudeau is perfect for you. It's great for kids 10+ and also a ton of fun for adult readers. Stayed tuned for the sequel in May. Available nearly anywhere!

Class is still a significant barrier in the UK. When it comes to #writing and the arts, all I can think is: all that wasted potential, everything that a culture misses because someone can't break through the #class ceiling. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

In a broken world, great #writers & artists inspire us to action. #Author Toni Morrison inspires me! "This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair . . . no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal."

From Bertrand Russell: " . . . Combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other."

Worried about #AI taking away your #creative paying work? (I am). This piece by the World Economic Forum says #creatives are concerned, but WEF research reveals AI will not only augment existing jobs, but will create #newjobs in entirely new fields. Interesting. www.weforum.org/stories/2024...
