actual hot take: y'all, generally speaking, are not interested in supporting BIPOC and queer authors when they are not writing about Hurt and Trauma because it's not educational to you. even if the books have BIPOC and queer casts and are in new settings.

it is no exaggeration to say that Hersey’s Hiroshima is one of the most affecting, devastating pieces of reporting in the last century. I don’t see how you can read it and not come away with the soul-deep belief that every nuke should be fully dismantled and the blueprints obliterated.

When I was in college I wrote a short story about a nonbinary blacksmith who ends up making a gun for a local warlord who uses it to murder his wife and I thought it was far out and weird and now that I’m out of the closet myself I can’t stop laughing at how naive I used to be

I like to start with a really intense physical sensation (esp touch), like the prose equivalent of a shot in extreme closeup. It establishes that I want to focus on how the bodies of my characters feel, as much as what they see or think.

Every once in a while I think about M. John Harrison changing details between the Viriconium books because he hated the idea of worldbuilding so much and refused a consistent setting that could be easy to categorize and I promise myself to get even weirder with it.
