Reposted by "skilled puppeteer"Thomas Ha @thomasha.bsky.social · 29/09/2026i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko. 1764912488

Reposted by "skilled puppeteer"✨ achilles king | RED out now @hellostarshine.bsky.social · 18/05/2026i think more people should write things explicitly with the intent of not explaining them to the majority. i think sometimes readers should have to learn and understand on their own. i think we should write more things for our own people and not the masses. 261462515
"skilled puppeteer" @ruznovorrah.bsky.social · 15/05/2026one striking thing about old books is that they were NOT written with movie pacing in mind. most modern books are. what i mean by this is the default way to visualize a story in your head is movie scenes now, but it used to only be life or plays so the pacing is different 020

Reposted by "skilled puppeteer"Jay Hulme @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Don't make art for anyone else. Don't show it to a single soul. Don't even judge it yourself. Exist inside the process of creation. If the end result is pretty, that's a bonus. But the real result is what happens inside of you, during the creation itself. Embrace that deeply human impulse. Be free. 220734
