And meanwhile I just got a rejection on another flash fiction story.
One that I personally considered one of the best I've written recently.
It's all very confusing.

New blog post! Sharing my 12 top-favorite books I read in 2024! thepagedreamer.wordpress.com/2025/04/23/top…

@AbigailFalanga The movies are beautiful and I love them. Still doesn't make their adaptation of the best characters good adaptations, yeah. (FARAMIR. ARAGORN. LEGOLAS. I love all of them in both their book and film versions but yeah...the films just do not understand their nobility etc., tbh.)

Despite my initial aversion after watching the movies, I have come to realize that they are skillful, beautiful, respectful adaptations.
...that happen to get almost all of their main characters wrong in such fundamental ways that I will never truly love the films.

Peter Jackson committed many sins against Tolkien. None worse than his butchery of Aragorn. The books show us a KING who knows exactly who he is. The films gave us a whimpering man questioning his birthright. One commands respect. The other begs for validation. (thread) 🧵

This December will mark precisely one decade since I showed up in my author's head and demanded she write my tale. What should she do to celebrate? (Perhaps write more of it...)

My character Tare is salty at me for...a variety of reasons. 😅 (Art by @artfulscribbler !)

That moment when your author puts a sticker of you on her laptop. The laptop she keeps NOT using to write your book... It's too cute to be me, obviously... Character problems. *sigh*
