what exactly is stopping me from starting the thing is it the fear that i won't be able to make the thing as good as it is right now in my mind

A lot of people don't know this, but when you brush a cat, you are legally required to show them the wad of cat hair that came off of them and tell them "this is enough for another whole cat"

Plotter vs pantser is a false dichotomy designed to pit writers against each other and keep us from uniting to overthrow the government

There are many widely available health & wellness apps that will remind you to periodically get up from your desk and walk around but I can personally recommend my own low-tech method which is to continuously drink ungodly amounts of tea.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 137: Try asking yourself at intervals what's keeping the reader by your side. Is it a desire to be in the place you're describing? An urge to follow a character? A sensation; a feeling? The need to find an answer? If you don't know, that's a problem. Fix it.

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

A set of screenshots from DEEP SPACE NINE. An old Klingon throws his arms around Dax and shouts "Curzon, my beloved old friend!"

Dax returns the hug and says "I'm Jadzia now."

The Klingon grabs her shoulders, smiles, and says "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

I'm Laurie & I'm working on a novel that started w/the idea of a 40-year-old woman who survives an apocalyptic pandemic & decides that having another child is the best way to guarantee her family’s safety. However! It's been veering on & off track so we'll see what I end up with when it's done.

A reminder that the key to writing is getting the very best out of your brain, but in order to get the best out of it you have to take care of your mental health. Stress, concern, and depression will take a toll on your work. So always make sure to take care of YOU and you'll get your best work.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
