i'm reading an amazing book on the important of rest ("rest is resistance" by tricia hersey) and one of my favorite quotes go: "how can we access pleasure, joy, and liberation if we are too tired to experience it?" and "urgency is a myth that preys upon your fears about the future"

today: drafted out the new project, revised the "fernik" english translation, built my freelance profile on contra, prepped for my d&d session tomorrow — amazing what boredom can do to a person

Keep writing. Poetry. Shorts. Entire novels. Post it here, on your site or publish it in books. You never know when your words will resonate with another human in just the way that human needed. We could all do with that just now. (Same goes for all creatives; keep creating.)

fun fact: during the first draft i did not notice i was writing a romance subplot until my beta readers were like...... they're lesbians, right? and they're flirting? and after re-reading what i wrote, i had to agree with them!!

Me: Why do I keep writing books about people who don't think they're worthy? Also me: Am I worthy to be writing these books?

Today its the 25th of April, and in Italy we celebrate the 80th liberation day! Sadly the government exploited the death of the pope (5 days of national grieving, the longest ever procaimed) to cover this celebration and suggested more "sober" celebrations, without "chanting and dancing".

thisssss!!!!! and ttrpg are meant to be fun, if “what my character would do” is something that ruins the game for everyone, then it's your fault for writing a character that obviously isn't fit for a PARTY game

Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me that I won't immediately achieve success as an author, get everything I want, and become universally loved? Are you sure? I was a "gifted" kid in school. Surely that counts for something.

my first novel is dedicated to a person who i no longer speak to; even if our roads separated, i can't forget the almost twenty years of my life we spent together — sometimes it hurts, but the whole point of “fernik” is, after all, that we are shaped by the people we have once loved ♡

Writing trans books is resistance. Recommending trans books is resistance. Buying trans books is especially important. Trans authors need cash to flee, to stay safe, to survive.

most advice, frankly. writing is so singular and personal that i don't believe there is any single piece of advice that is applicable to Everyone. you gotta find what works for you

i know having your work edited really cuts into every single sentence and its intended meaning, but having it translated? boy, you've got to be ready to overthink every single word choice to the bone

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.
