A (mostly) chronological list of my published short stories and poetry. 1. 'Self-checkout'. Short story, part of a horror anthology. A bleak story about a person stepping in to help, even at great risk to themselves. www.goodreads.com/book/show/25... #SFF #poetry #BookSky #writing #scifi

So apropos of nothing in particular, let’s talk about media tie-in novel pay vs. original work pay, shall we? Let’s say you write a novel. It’s set in your own world, your own characters, and titled The Original. You get a book deal! Look at you go!

Translating poetry of mine from English to Dutch. It's always a struggle when one language has multiple words for a thing where the other has only one. 'bait' and 'lure' both translate to (lok)aas in Dutch. So I ended up just scrapping a whole sentence 😅 #SFintranslation #SFF #poetry #writing

About 30 scifi books, ordered roughly by colour. We see some famous English titles and a few in Dutch. Some of them I've started in but put on hold.

Starting to get hopeful here 👀

red lines and a purple line on a light background. It's a graph on the site 'The Submission Grinder'. Authors use the site to among others track their submissions.

The red lines indicate that people that submitted to a certain market (like a scifi magazine) have gotten a negative response. The purple means a response is pending. Since submissions that came in after mine have gotten a negative response, I'm holding out hope that they liked my work and will contact me soon for an acceptance.

Finished writing a Lovecraftian story where I have little red things running around. I go outside with my partner and visit a museum. She points to part of the exhibition. It's those same little red things running around. 😶 Damn. The next stage is going crazy or missing, right?😬 #horror #amwriting

Painting by Vincent van Gogh: 'Zittende man (het hoofd steunend op de vuisten) op de drempel van de eeuwigheid', also known as 'Oude man met smart'. The English title is 'Sorrowing Old Man (At Eternity's Gate)' or 'Worn Out: At Eternity's Gate'.

From the description:
Built in 1970 by an unknown artist, the brutalist monument celebrates a group of partisan fighters in World War II who battled against the German occupation in the south of Belgrade. During the fighting the battalions lost over 5,000 soldiers but their “guns of freedom kept shooting. More photos on their Instagram > https://www.instagram.com/valentinsalja
