Late season pasta Caprese with tomatoes and basil from my garden. 🌱🍽️🍜 #yardtotable #gardening #foodsky

I don't subscribe to as many writers' Patreons as I wish I could, because the cost adds up fast, but Rax's writing is so brilliant & necessary (& often darkly funny) that it's worth every penny.

No sweltering. Didn't turn fans or aircon on. In a south western suburb where it did reach between 34 and 35 (unlike Brisbane city which didn't get much over 31 according to BOM). Have to love those lower feels-like temps. Reading your article, I think I live in an alternative reality.

I could venture a few reasons, but I would also start off reminding folks that Pratchett was not (and still is not) as commercially successful in the US as the UK. In the UK he sold as well as anyone in any genre. In the US he sold respectably in genre. So it's about the US genre market/marketing.

It did exceedingly well in Australia. Probably because we get British humour. In earlier days, the ABC (BBC ≈) broadcast a significant amount of British comedy (EG The Goodies, Dave Allen etc). I started reading Pratchett back in 1990. Would burst out in hysterics on the bus. It was unavoidable.

Describing the antagonist-ally in Book 1 is so hard because you can tell I hero-worship the guy and sometimes reading a scene back I'm like, "Right, going to have to trim off all the fangirl energy that seeped into that scene!" It's so hard not to talk up this character. He's the absolute best!

Honestly, sometimes I get so exhausted in the drafting process, that the goal becomes "push forward" in some small way rather than "add 5 new scenes" today or something concrete. The goal is just...do something.

Sometimes in critique, I’ll leave the note “trust the reader!!!” That’s it. And if readers don’t ‘get it’ the first time, there’s a scene more likely to build curiosity than lose readers. Make them work for it, dammit!

The Queen is the lesser goddess of Life. Her devotees hold existence to be a precious thing, meant to be savored and preserved; to heal, protect, or nurture life is, above all else, the noble summit of devotion.🌷 Repost and comment to help me get more jobs like this one ✨✨

The Queen tarot card. It has a distinctly regal, nature-magic aesthetic: an elven/fey queen seated beneath a stone arch, surrounded by lush greenery, flowers, and warm filtered sunlight. The antlered crown, pointed ears, long red hair, blue-and-gold clothing, and basket of flowers reinforce themes of nature, sovereignty, fertility, abundance, and graceful authority.
