Super excited to say that my first ever published piece was in @quotatelle.bsky.social yesterday! I wrote "Thermocline" as part of an experiment with my writing group. You can read it here: qb.foofaraw.press/thermocline/

I was well over 30 when I wrote and published my first novel, and fully agree with you!

Read Arkady Martine's Rose/House novella today and GOD BOOKS ARE SO COOL. THEY'RE VERY GOOD. It was so good that I immediately hopped on pangobooks to see what kinda physical copy I could buy. (I might wait until the paperback comes out next year cause that cover is GORGEOUS)

the editorial assistant (Copy) thinks I should be reading FASTER and writing FASTER which is why he looks so angry

Picked up Fair Play by Louise Hegarty last night and finished it this morning and uh. I really wanted to like this book!! it had some really fun metatextual elements but the stream of consciousness chapters simply ruined it for me. could've been really fun, except it just wasn't. 1.5 stars.

first piece of writing advice: other authors are a huge resource of experience you can trust. we’re not in competition with another. second: all real writers wipe their asses with a heaping handful of large grain Himalayan sea salt

Finished A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine and the whole thing made me feel like a crumpled paper towel (in a great way) but what really made me cry was in the acknowledgements, she called her wife the "center of every star chart" ❤️ lesbians we always win❤️❤️

I saw someone argue that LLMs are useful for "getting over writer's block" and I hate to tell y'all this, but outsourcing things like "having discipline" to a robot is (like all AI tools for writing) going to make you actively worse at the craft.

Saw The Room Next Door (directed by Pablo Almodóvar) and I fear it's a script that probably would've worked really well in Spanish but didn't translate great but still had a few bafflingly good lines like "there are many ways to live inside a tragedy" like okay????

My favourite episode is the one where Poirot gets a shoulder-mounted cannon.

A promotional still of David Suchet as Agatha Christie's Poirot, with (I think) an anti-aircraft gun peeking over his shoulder.
