Unsolicited writing advice, no. #103876: Never worry about whether what you write "matters." It matters because you do. And one day, someone else may read it and understand that they matter, too. This is how we build a world, one connection at a time.

These cats don’t like each other, but, look, the curtain was open a second ago, and they were behind mom’s back, so they’ll tolerate, not just being close, but touching

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Watching Paradise, and in the credits I recognized the name of an actor, but I didn’t remember seeing him. I look up his IMDB, but it doesn’t list Paradise as a credit. So I search his name + Paradise. It was his son! (Percy Daggs IV, not Percy Daggs III from Veronica Mars)

Aw, I had a half hour left in #luckypit & took a break to try a pitch unlike any I've done b4 (though I see others do this sort of pitch). But a coworker interrupted, & when she left, not only had I lost the cute post-in-progress, but I only had 3 mins left. So I posted something I made last night

For those on BlueSky who follow querying authors, I recommend having an OnlyPosts feed (I think I selected that special) to be able to see your feed minus the reposts on pitch days. It can be overwhelming, especially amidst all those moodboard pitches
