Whenever I see an author advertising their dark fantasy (or similar) as Definitely-Not-Cozy-Fantasy, Me-Write-Real-Book, all I see is a little kid with snotty fingers yelling "cooooooties!!!!!" And I block.

I've been talking in more interviews about my antipathy towards the concept of 'conflict' as the base unit of plot, and how I think Aristotle's very old idea has actually damaged us because that quickly becomes story = plot = conflict = violence. I say that as a fan of fictional violence.

I've started a Substack to celebrate neurodivergent writers' work, and to interview them about their craft and writing advice. I'm so excited about the interviews I've got lined up (incl. two hugely anticipated 2025 debut writers!) and would love it if you could share! tinyurl.com/32zwezsc

I love this question! While I wrote a few things on looseleaf as a kid, I never seriously tried to write fiction until I got into D&D. I feared that I wasn't able to come up with any "good enough" ideas. But then I DMd and created my own module and realized how fun it could be! #P2Ppit

I began writing over a decade ago but didn't find my market. Now that cozy fantasy is more popular, I feel it's worth a second try. ♾️ I'm autistic and struggle with the social element of all this. 📚 I like to read sweet and cozy, but also spooky stories. 🤯 RWA chapter contest winner 🐈‍⬛ ! 🦆! #P2Ppit

I'd like to get my pitches shorter. It may be my AuDHD brain. For me, details are everything. Details are clarity. The shorter I make the pitches, the less I feel they make any sense.
