I'm editing I wrote 3 years ago and I want to gouge my eyes out. But it's also exciting that I get to actually improve it!

I adore the bandaged aesthetic so much. I've loved it for a long time and it's one of the reasons I like the Invisible Man so much. Before writing my invisible man inspired novella I gathered quite a few historical bandaged people's images. Here is a few. Which one is your favourite?

Marat's Invisible Man is Alive 🫀 @maratearendel.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Watching a movie where the protagonist is alone in a pub on New Years. When the clock counts down it cuts to his phone where he messaged his friend twice to join him. He's just standing alone in a crowd of people celebrating. I almost cried. Long isolation clearly did a number on me 😭

How big is your vocabulary? Take a look at this list of unusual and archaic words and tally the points to see what your score is! Let me know what it is and which words you already new. My favourites are incarnadine (as a Spanish speaker this word really tickles my brain) and all-overish.

It's "Hispanic" history month and a lot of you wanted to know more about the origins of the word and why I find the term racist. This is a very broad topic and difficult to condense into an easily digestible carousel. I tried my best but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

How to support Indie authors. Of course, everything applies to Queer, BIPOC authors or other marginalised folks doubly so. Do you already do these things? Was any of them new to you? Or if you are already seasoned, maybe one of the explanations was unexpected? Which one would you add?
