@davidlubar @torbooks I was 11 or 12 when I read it I think and it's still one of my favorite books. I really wanted to emulate it for a very long time and sits as one of the inspo to my current work. If I knew what fanfiction was back then I probably would have been an absolute fiend at it 😆 tyvm!

Hidden Talents, my first novel for @torbooks, turns 25 next year. I'd love to see them use this achievement as the basis for a promotion of some sort, but I've failed at finding anyone who cares, so I'm shouting into the void (or the X), hoping to reach the right ears.

El Muerte. This will probably be my last post on here, please visit my website to reconnect. Or, subscribe to my newsletter arborwinterbarrow.com/newsletter/

I’m in a bit of a reading slump at the moment. I’m looking for something on the shorter side that reads fast with humor. Either fantasy or sci-fi are good for me. Any suggestions?

@autumnwritesya I write at panera cuz it has wifi and free drink refills and I almost always have my headphones in because the store radio makes me rageful. But I like to do it because it helps me focus away from all the things that demand my attention at home

Y’all really be writing in coffee shops? Or is that only for aesthetics and content? 🤔Seems fake idk

Hey #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writers send me your sky links or follow me so I can hang out with writers on a different app bsky.app/profile/magnet…

I have this client, and bless her heart, she has single handedly taught me the value of my time. Selling my time for pennies is over bitches.

If you don't properly value your time, those you work with my inadvertently or intentionally take advantage. Don't sell yourself short. Your work, and your time, are hella valuable.

@benstonick Thug-lite

Me frfr 😤

The editing comes later. The context of when these advices are needed comes later. Is it important? Yes. But not at the loss of being able to tell the story in your head and heart.

All these nuggets of advice can hinder you instead of helping you because they apply a level of unnecessary prescriptivism to the first lesson: JUST WRITE. Just write bad. Just write telling. Just write what you feel is right.

The most frustrating thing I've seen with new writers is that they have internalized all the context-less advice like show-dont-tell, and don't use -ly words, and don't use anything other than said and inadvertently destroy the basis of exploring their own craft.

@benstonick Europop renaissance is upon us

Incredible. Shouts out to the Jonas Bros, their fans were NOT ready lmao

I kinda want to celebrate. But have no one to celebrate with at the moment!!

@wowhibonjuru Oh no

Me: Pokemon Sleep will be a fun way to maybe make some better sleep habits Pokemon Sleep results: you have an actual health problem, and you should seek help

@benstonick 😲

The local boba tea/fancy coffee and sandwiches place that just opened down the street is good, so thankful 🥲

@bethklewis I'm currently at this stage where it's simultaneously the best thing I've ever written but also I can see the growth potential. Draft 3 is gonna be 🔥

Any other writers feel like the book they’re working on or just finished is simultaneously the best thing you’ve ever written and the absolute worst?

@moniza_hossain 😭 yes but my MC is a verifiable dumb teenager and most of my friends/readers complain! He gets better!

My least favourite thing is when the narrator makes it a point to mention an MC is clever while making zero effort to SHOW cleverness. Clever characters are very hard to write. This is why I firmly believe we should all write dumbasses unless we can convincingly write a genius

@kymcattys Amazing

behold - should I blast all these off at once and call it a day

@SimmonsDies Ancient peoples genuinely believed that semen was stored in the brain and/or nervous system. Somebody read about this probably and decided that it was fact lol

Or are they saying semen is stored in the brain help

Cerebral fluid is stored in the balls
