“Liam had seen a selkie, a creature that’s half human, half beast. Old stories told of such creatures luring ships onto the rocks and pulling sailors down into the drink. But all Liam knew was that he’d never seen a woman so lovely in all his life.”

2025 resolution: Do more than simply face the Void. Embrace the Void. Caress the Void. Do a tango with the Void. Engage in witty banter with the Void. Play flirtatious mind games with the Void. Form a sexually-charged creative partnership with the inevitable unknowability of all things.

Every year I make a playlist to tell myself “the story of the vibes of my year.” Wrapped tells me my taste by volume. But picking songs and putting them in order is a better reflection of what music has meant to me during the year.

Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written. So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now. "My writing process is not broken."

Does it count as “unhinged” to write a little sea-shanty poem about your WIP? It’s nowhere near done, just pitching for fun. #UnhingedPit #F #R #W
