Reeeaaaally depends on the work. For some of them it's the keyword of the story (e.g., "Powered"). For others, it's some phrase that popped into my head that has thematic significance and a lyrical rhythm (e.g., "Murder with the Devil and Friends")

The best piece of writing advice I ever got (in terms of immediate and profound effect on my writing) was from a Stage Combat workshop: "A fight is a dialogue. Each move should say something about the character making it. Every exchange should add depth to their relationship."

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

she said "you can do anything in fiction as long as the situation afterwards is more interesting that the situation before." since then i have been keeping an eye on character death in fiction. many writers seem to think that character death "raises the stakes" but actually just makes things boring

Brought back plenty of sanity: the things in life that *really* matter are a hot meal, a warm bed, and not falling to your death. Looked around for relaxation but it was the end of the season and I think it'd all been picked clean by the time I got there.

The way I come up with fictional settings is like... I imagine a real place, and then unfocus the eyes of my mind. Let it blur out, shift, funhouse-mirror distort. Everything 1.5x larger than life, like remembering the house I grew up in. Let the failure to reconstruct build something new instead.

I envision this as a movie about an ordinary office guy who, for reasons that are never quite clear to him, is selected to be the leader of a new cult. Midsommar meets The Office.

My #AwesomeCharacters tend to stay confined within their stories - I don't generally think about the "after" or the "in-between" because I already said everything that needed saying. The other parts are for the characters themselves, or for the readers. I've meddled enough.
