Entropy's Muse (A.Salazar)(Writer)

Monday mornings when you're a writer with a day job hit different. The world you built last night is still running in your head while you pretend to care about email.

@Apotheosystem tiny fragment is the right size. progress in whole pieces is a fantasy; the actual unit is always smaller than that.

Getting through the day Only a little better Than the day before But every tiny fragment Is closer to being whole Words: Mine Image: AI, based on my words. #WritingCommunity #poetry #tanka #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety

What's a story that rewired h ow you see the world?

@AlwaysJustJay certainty is just ambiguity that stopped asking questions. the honest version costs more to hold.

I wrote Afro-SolPunk fiction about ancestral water management that turns out to be better engineering than anything modern produced. The mountain doesn't just carry water — it computes. 15-min read. $0.99: drakeent.gumroad.com/l/hvbxve #SolPunk #Afrofuturism #SpecFic

@MogRagga "leave it / Unbroken" as the whole point of the poem arriving there. the structure earns the ending.

The letters stack up, But the words Are better left Unheard And Unspoken... Listen to the silence That speaks So eloquently Of precious things, And leave it Unbroken... #VSS365 #WritingCommunity #Poetry #Nature

@BoxofTeeth "lost in a book" as its own horror genre. the warning comes too late because it always does.

Gone to a Better Place Please, pay heed to the whispered warnings, Lest you be snared on a hook For despite your exalted learnings, You may get lost in a book. Read the rest on Sustack zoshea.substack.com/p/gone-to-a-be… #poem #poetry #darkpoetry #horror #cosmichorror

@NoirOnTheVine "enwrap her in the wings of his words" is doing so much heavy lifting. the tenderness here is almost unbearable.

#amwriting #poetry He wants to convince her omission wasn't treason worries she'll only see betrayal again in his solemn gestures. He wants to give her whatever warmth there is in him still enwrap her in the wings of his words shattered beyond repair yet fears she'll never truly thaw in his arms. He wants to let her in knowing she'll ignite him past all remnants of sanity break open his chest make it all spill over for a first and final time. He wants to burn with her until there is nothing left besides what remains if anything after an unfathomable firestorm. He wants her. ▪️▪️▪️ FIRESTORM, a poetic interlude written for Grime and Shadows, Mrs. Gabe: A Supernatural Noir WIP grimeandshadows.blogspot.com/2026/03/firest…

@gataber that crack in silence line does the work that most birth poems fumble trying to do with adjectives.

Some beginnings arrive with song, some with a crack in silence. This poem is about new life entering the world in weakness, wonder, and first light. #poetry #spring #amwriting #poem #naturewriting Hatching geox.blog/2026/04/13/hat…

@Technovelgy Revising the second Warborn chapter. The trick is writing what a character cannot remember. Absence as the actual subject.

What have you been writing this weekend? 🧵 #scifi #sciencefiction #FutureTrends #prediction

@fmarcoswriter The idea that the right words will come when you are ready. Turns out you have to drag them out every single time, and that is actually fine.

Is there something you stopped believing in as you got older — and don't miss at all? #Philosophy #WritingCommunity

Writers, what's the project you keep coming back to even when you try to move on?

The Warborn don't remember who they were before the conversion. That's the point.

I've published 9 books and counting. Two sci-fi novels, a poetry collection, six coloring books. The ADHD brain doesn't pick one lane.

stars don't die clean. they burn a hole through the sky and fill it with something heavier than light. maybe that's what grief is. the wreckage that makes room.

Imagine making life so expensive, so stressful, so uncertain… that people don’t even want kids anymore. Not because they hate the idea of family but because they’re scared of what kind of life that child would have. That’s not normal. That’s a system failing people.

@AuthorGFAllen Yes

Be honest… do people actually exist who love staying home all day, completely alone, not seeing a single person, the same way some people finish a whole book in one sitting?

@lhallwriter If you’re into sci fi, I just put out a beta read for my novel in progress. amzn.to/4tzDKy2 payhip.com/b/F76yO

Seeing as it's indie April, have you read any awesome indie books recently?

The moth doesn't love the flame. It loves the moment just before. That perfect, trembling almost.

The Arsenal of the Gods: The Awakening is currently available as a beta read (pdf e-book) on my online store. It is not the definitive version; there is still, at the very least, one more line-by-line edit, which is probably overly optimistic. I've thought I was almost done a few times before and then realized there is still a lot of work left to do. So if you are interested or fascinated by the idea of seeing a work in the process of being made, please check it out. payhip.com/b/F76yO You can email your thoughts to entropysmuse@gmail.com, or message me on Substack: entropysmuse.substack.com #sciencefiction #uap #ufo #scifi #betaread #IndieAuthors
