I think some of this comes from the perception of writing that people have. I think lots of people believe they could write a bestseller if they ‘just had the time’ but they view film making and music production as something they can’t do themselves. It’s really kind of infuriating.

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.

Would you say the same of someone posting photos of their garden? Or a painting they made? Just because your life is bereft of joy doesn’t mean the rest of us have to keep quiet about it.

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

It’s pride month and as per usual now is a great time to support queer books and an even better time to support queer bookstores many of which are available to order from on: Www.bookshop.org

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.

I revised my query package and sent it out to a few agents. I’m still kind of hoping for some connections but I’ve been so busy this week it’s largely my fault for not keeping up with the feed.

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
