i think about form size a lot, bouncing between epic fantasy series and standalones, short stories, and novellas. generally, i’m pretty disinterested in the categories themselves, but i’m interested in using the space well, to best effect. so how do you write a good story at any length?

happy pride! i'll be reposting some of my older work this month
a design that reads "the homosexual and the transsexual must always seek to liberate the other for they fight the same fight!" to the right of the text there is a clump of dandelions. the entire image is textured to look photocopied.

Read a lot. Read widely. Read challenging books and fluffy books and nonfiction books and literary theory. As an author, your books are you craft, and constantly training those skills is the best think you can do for your art.

it’s never too late to start learning how to draw - and as frustrating as it sounds, it’s a lifelong endeavor. if you pick up the pen today, you will be experiencing the same emotions, setbacks, euphoria, and accomplishments as someone who is sitting down for the 1826th consecutive day.

It’s Trans Day of Visibility! Buying a book by a trans author is great, but don’t stop there! Make sure to call your representatives. Support your local trans communities. Donate to mutual aid organizations. If we’re going to make it through this we need you to do more than post on social media!

You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable. Mitigations work. Layers work best. Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick. Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95. It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!

The best writing advice I can give is add more lesbians. No, more. No, more. That's not enough are you even listening-- oh goodness thats a lot of lesbians. Well done. That's good art.

No single photograph -- not even the Napalm Girl photograph -- could change the course of the war. And if you talk to Americans today, the true cost of Vietnam to them is American lives lost, not the horror that was inflicted on the Vietnamese.

I don’t want to “streamline” my writing. I don’t want to “increase my output.” I don’t want to “write a novel with one click.” I want to write stuff only I can write. I want to read and write novels with soul and heart and a unique voice. Fuck AI. Long live real writers.

JOHN WICK x THE COLOR OUT OF SPACE A hit man seeks revenge for his brother’s murder. A doctor hunts for the truth behind an impossible affliction. Together, they dive into a world of occult conspiracy and eldritch horror. But can they survive? #WIPPIT #A #H #T
A page from an old book showing a skull drawing and the word MORTEM, a well-dressed couple in shadow staring at you with glowing eyes, two skyscrapers looming overhead in the fog, several pistols lying in a cushioned case, a black hole, two doctors performing surgery, a man with his back turned and a woman's hand cradling his head, a cork board of documents and string, six figures cloaked in black and gathered in a semi-circle.

Hi again! This local trans person (who I was just hanging out with and can vouch for) just posted an update to her GFM. Good news: she has two promising job interviews! Bad news: she really needs help with June rent so she doesn't get evicted before she can line up a job. Please help if you can!

Writing, like every other art form, is an exercise that thrives on practice, but can also lead to injury if done without rest! Rest! Refill your wells!!

I can never advocate for the "write every day" advice. I think every writer should have a day during the week where they engage in the enjoyment of experiencing art in lieu of creating it.

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

It’s important to pay attention to the fact that there are simultaneous efforts to criminalize mask-wearing by citizens and to standardize the wearing of face-obscuring gaiters by people purporting to be law enforcement.

EVOCATIONxJANE LAWRENCE why do you need an angel? according to the codex his teacher wrote, that’s the most important question to ask when summoning them. simon knows his answer: there’s someone he worships—the teacher he built a cult around—and he won’t stop until he has him. #QuestPit #A #H #wip
red and black-themed moodboard. around the top border and right border: someone falling through red-tinged clouds; someone in white embracing a dark shadow with a halo behind them; someone standing at the top of some stairs, surrounded by giant red bulging eyes; a faded black and white photo style picture of a dark smudge shadow and the shape of someone hooking their head over the shadow’s shoulder, crying dark tears; red-toned painting of an angel with three eyes. The left space is occupied by a text image, gothic white on red, that reads ‘the problem with angels is sometimes they talk back’ over and over again. on top of that picture, picture of a painting of an eye with a large gold star growing in it.

Three-panel moodboard consisting of three pieces by Alphonse Mucha.

Left: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies.
Center: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. This image is noticeably lower in quality than its neighboring panels.
Right: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer.

A golden filigree lines the bottom and frames the sides, partially covering the left and right panels.
