What’s your #booksdna? The novels that were formative to you. At least four!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Sinister Minutes 23 asks, what if life really is a game? Guest author Maurice Forrester steps up, rolls the bones and throws us a tale called A Need for Disorder. After the story, there's new music from Tim, "Midnight Visit." open.spotify.com/show/1k4odxi... shows.acast.com/sinister-min...

Over the last 8+ years, I’ve thought/talked/wrote/taught about magical resistance work a whole lot. And the thing I keep coming back to is this: the work we do at the local level that aids, builds, and protects community is the most essential and effective.

‪Sinister Minutes 22: Life Coach, plus Shake My Bones A little feel-good, motivational advice never hurt so much. If this short story is any indication of where my writing is headed in the near future, it's gonna be a long, snarky ride. shows.acast.com/sinister-min...

Dear Humanity, Climate change is real and it’s the fault of greedy conservative billionaires.

Friendly reminder for this new year: if you want to draw you only need one thing: DRAW It's okay if you don't have art studies, if you're bad at anatomy or color, if you draw on a napkin or if it looks “ugly” to you... You don’t need to be “good” at something to have fun!

Do you know one of my favourite things about this mythology I'm creating? How little importance humans have in it! I honestly considered not even having humans around, but it's nice to have a non-magical race to use as food for monsters 😶🤭 #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

I'm sorry, Thanos, but once Santa opened his bag and offered a gift to each one of your minions, they'd abandon you 🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm sure you could still put up a good fight, but being a smart guy, you'd know it was time to retreat and rethink your strategy!

Hey #ReadingCommunity, I'd like to promote fellow indie authors, so feel free to jump in & make it a quote post. - a book by an indie I enjoyed: Merchants of Knowledge and Magic by @kiraofthewind.bsky.social - a book by an indie I want to read — This Is How Immortals Die by @sayaashrah.bsky.social

*sigh* Anyway, just create. Write shit, draw shit, build whatever you want, that's the important part. There's no be-all end-all formula for the Perfect Work. Just be YOU. No one can ever create what YOU create b/c it's you making it, and you are the only you.

There's nothing quite like a really good bad character to keep you *invested* #books #reading #writing
