'being more LinkedIndie about your writing career will do you no harm, will it?' is a question I've heard a couple of times too many (ie >0)

Still a great resource from @minorliteratures.bsky.social! minorliteratures.com/2024/09/03/m...

death to the careerists

“How the fuck have these highly-driven ghouls become so ubiquitous in our scene? Who gave them a pass? They have no idea of how writing works, and what they preach is just banal tripe, so who actually benefits from their grift?” Read Sdrigotti’s righteous rant. open.substack.com/pub/fernando...

“There is another language,” he said, his voice very low and quiet, “lying within this one.” He paused, tapped his pen against his chin. “And another logic, too, sleeps within this logic.” @perfidiousscript.bsky.social

Very excited to share 'Dr. Lysergus and the Holy Fool' an excerpt from my debut full-length 'The Veldt Institute' forthcoming with Double--Negative Press later this year.

"In allowing others to choose our faiths for us... We view the choices of others as the groundwork, take that faith for granted, and build our worlds atop those choices without ever once choosing to question the decisions made by others, or why those faiths were formed.”
