I thought they were the size of horses, not houses 😭

Years ago someone told a friend I'd never sell a novel; they said that two days before I got my first novel contract. Just today I saw someone saying that I'm not that good of a writer, which, okay, but I'm contracted for 16 more books, so I guess I'll keep at it. So, yeah: Fuck 'em. Do your thing.

Krissy came home early from work today and it's difficult to say who was happier about it, me or the dog

It baffles me that ppl STILL argue about TTRPG systems and playstyles as if there's only one true way to enjoy them. Not every DM, or system, or group, or story, or setting, or style, or priorities will be to your liking. Others will like it. Let them. Bashing other people's joy is despicable.

In light of my birthday next Tues...¿what do you wish you had known at 25? You can be close in age too, & all cultures/identities (BIPOC, LGBT+, any religion, etc.) are welcome. I’m just curious what I can learn from people from all walks of life. (/sincere)

"Don't Engage, Just Block" absolutely IS the Bluesky motto. The notion of a "Bluesky Elder" is vaguely ridiculous but the ONE THING that we oldheads are good for is telling the new folks that blocking without engagement is praxis, and encouraging them to do it early and often.

Normalize this reaction #art #artists

One of my chronic illnesses is flaring, but you have to guess which one. Just kidding. It's all of them.

You (/general) probably don’t like your art due to its flaws, but that’s the best part. No one makes mistakes or works with/around them quite the way you do. (You’ve also had longer to stare at it & pick it apart.) Most people won’t notice or will appreciate your unique flaws + approach. 💜

I can’t emphasize enough that it’s not a compliment to an artist to tell them that their work makes you want to quit drawing or hate your own work. Like shut that down before it even comes out

I'm happy to announce that in the middle of the night I woke up with the realization of what I needed to do to fix the story I'm working on, and instead of saying "I'll remember it" or scrawling it illegibly I reached for my phone and actually wrote it down.

Memories from Spain

I was recently asked to talk about being a “content creator” and I had to flat out say I am not a content creator To reframe what I do as an artist to being a content creator is something the internet has been pushing for a while and I just refuse to give into it or allow my life to become that

cat has decided he would like his dinner 1.5 hours early and he is appalled by my cruelty in denying him this humble request

One lesson I've taken from this industry is to be wary of creators who are only excited about themselves and their own work. I want you to love what you make! But what other writers set your imagination on fire? Who else do you celebrate? Who do you show up for?

The most realistic villains to write are just selfish jerks. I know critics want depth and uncomfortable relatability, but "dude just wants wealth and power, and is willing to step on others to get it" might be the most relevant to reality villains in existence.

I keep thinking about this ever since I read it.

Disappoint a fascist. Vote.

I think I need to quit my chronic illness to focus on my laundry.

if only life were like the Choose Your Own Adventure books and we could go back and make a different choice

¿Do any of y’all wanna see some of my favourite lines/interactions from stories I’ve written? Working on developing my voice & I’m finally succeeding in blips in some WIPs. Trying to encourage my unique voice, & willing to share. ☺💜

For those who care: Christians (+ denominations thereof) are welcome here, but I myself am not Christian. I’m polytheistic, I do divination readings, & I lean on crystals/deity symbols for guidance/comfort. I’m very happy as I am. Friends welcome, but attempts to convert me are not. (/genuine, nm)

Been picking up new hobbies left and right this year. My gran does cross stitching and I asked her to teach me. Ended up super enjoying it! It's a nice low-brain activity while watching something in the background. Perfect for unwinding. Here's my first finished cross stitch! Isn't he fashionable?

You think telling me that I've already told you this story will stop me from telling it again now? That's adorable.

Indeed I am 💙🖤

all i’m going to say is republicans in 2022 were saying it was going to be a massive world altering red wave and they flipped like 1 seat
