When your 3yo asks for a book to read, while she's on the toilet, maybe you did something right

I'm a #MarvelCinematicUniverse fan, yet I just found out there is a cameo of two very prominent Marvel animated characters from the early '90 in "X-Men'94". Makes me wonder if nowaday's unstable success of the MCU is also due to original fans getting older and not having as much free time and focus

Well, if Brandon Sanderson has been working for years on a Mistborn movie, and keeps having Hollywood people telling him to do a 40M Kickstarter campaign, I guess I can survive having ad a story of mine not even qualifying at a contest.

"Post-apocalypse stories tend to be relieving, nowadays, so we looked at the trope from the most discomforting way possible"

Yesterday I sold my first story in almost a year. Total story sales amounts to 29 now, still I had forgot how it feels.
Today, we toast!

I'm thinking @jamesgunn.bsky.social might be one of the most relevant storytellers of this time because, above all, he understands family

Let's put it this way: do you prefer when a conflict is resolved in a realistic but boring way (ie, tragic death), or an inventive one that requires some extra suspension of disbelief?

Love "Black Mirror", this season, too, for how sharply it finds the more painful tech-related ideas and brings them to life.
Still hate it, because most of its scripts don't even try to solve the main conflict.
Speculative fiction is about possibility!

I'm the kind of reader, and commuter, that when he believes he has no books with him, he usually can find two books in his travel bag

I though the Internet was full of unrequested, sometimes pointless and sometimes contradicting writing advice.
Then I became a parent and started reading about parenting

Oh, yeah, quick turnaround happen! I've been rejected in a few hours at least twice!

When you're like me and you've been submitting stories for 7 years, you start appreciating more the quick rejection markets. Still a rejection, but they let you move on, instead of leaving you hanging for months

I love your short stories, so it's the best of the bundle!

I have a story that has been under consideration by a pro market for 500 days, give or take.
Being a SFF writer definitely let you travel through time.

Wow, I just got a rejection for a story that includes feedback about the rejection.
It's a short sentence that makes no sense at all.
And I'm the one that, being ESL, should know English poorly.

Fulvio "The Cat" Gatti @fulviothecat.bsky.social · Feb 17

I'm old enough to know that, even if I've not written a complete new story in months, I'm still a writer.
I'm aware enough to realize it's OK, I will find time to write again, sooner or later.
It's not painless, oh no
