I cannot write under these conditions. I require at least a five foot radius between myself and office spiders. I have reported him to HR who confirmed in this instance that it is appropriate to remove him forcibly from this plane of existence.

Tim Curry was such a huge part of my personal film canon that it feels impossible to pick just one of his roles or even just a few of them. So here’s a deeep cut of perhaps the greatest single performance by anyone in a movie with a 10 dollar budget.

I finished the draft of a novel today that was just for me. No querying, no trying to publish it just for me and it feels amazing

It just occurred to me that it’s kind of wild that in Willy Wonka the oompa loompas fat shame that one kid for eating a ton of sweets when they work in a candy factory that ostensibly has a business model of encouraging kids to eat a lot of sweets. #JusticeForAugustus

The result of an entire world bending over backwards and tying itself in knots to appease people who don’t fucking read anyway. Many futures and stories are being held hostage by a few loud cavemen and this is only one facet of their war on culture. I am so fucking tired.

There is an organization dedicated to just about everything. With the enshittification of Google I’ve taken to looking for those first because they usually have robust resource pages. For my most recent WIP I found an org just for 1800’s clothing preservation. #CampRevPit #CRPnessie

#CampRevPit 1. It took over a year to finish world building for this book. 2. I condone everything my MC does. 3. I wrote the sequel on a lark in three weeks.

I had the best experience at the Florence + the Machine concert last night. It makes me think of fantasy stories where The Great Singer tm comes to court and everyone loses their minds. It was practically a religious experience, I am still shook up the day after.

Leave me alone. I just saved your life. I saved yours first, that’s just payback. Besides my life wouldn’t have needed saving if you weren’t here. It’s not my fault you’re an imbecile. You know you were a lot nicer when you were dying. #CampRevPit #CRPnessie

I always love magic systems the most. As far as approach goes I usually start with an analog setting and let that inform the rest I like to consider myself a chaotic plotter in that there’s a 50 page outline and extensive world notes and that also those mean nothing drafting #CampRevPit #CRPnessie

Wick is a shepherd so she’s definitely more of an outdoors person. If lying to yourself was a special skill she’d be a superhero. #CampRevPit #CRPnessie

I don’t think either of them would if for no other reason than they’d rightly think it was poisoned. Snacks are kind of thin on the ground so it’s mostly been dried meat and berries for my adventuring team, though they’re happy to share with each other. #CRPnessie

Hi I’m Sam. I’d bring One Dark Window because I’m about halfway through and The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi because the sequel is coming out soon and I need a refresh. #CRPnessie

Hi I’m Sam (she/her). I write dark fantasy with a sense of humor and I’m a big fan of HEAs. Can’t make a heart stop if it’s not beating. Currently I’m querying my 7th book which is a Chosen One riff that pits his seemingly useless sister against fate. #CampRevPit #CampKickoff

I honestly think streaming has ruined the movie theater, not because of money but because everyone seems to think they’re sitting in their living room and I can’t see or hear them. I have twice this year needed to remind grown adults that the ticket cost 30 bucks and I’d rather hear the actors
