I had a bad mental health day and had to work on school. But hey, we’re making excellent time and I’m excited to write tomorrow :3
Tired of trying to stay positive in the face of mean people.

Going to try eating donuts and doing drugs instead.

The constant flip-flop between academic writing and fiction writing can be a lot of fun and very educational.

But it can also mean you can accidentally start writing your midterm with purple prose and you have to step back for a minute.

Perfect timing since my writing challenge starts today lmao
I have two!

One is a dark ancient deity represented through centipedes. As someone who is scared of centipedes, I flinch when I write him 😬

The second is the cutest sweetest stag beetle in the universe (he is a literal beetle) and he is so fun to write but I am ALSO scared of stag beetles 😭 so
Tell me about your buggy and insectoid characters! 🐝🐛🪲 #WritingPrompt

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa
Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
I don’t think a one star review is a moral judgement and you shouldn’t either but the fear still stands that someone WILL
Biggest fear is getting trad published and becoming friends with authors who’s books I’ve rated low on StoryGraph in the past 😬
I’m determined to participate in Fluffmas this year. My thirteen secret Ao3 accounts are about to come in handy.
I realized I have free will and NaNoWriMo doesn’t really exist anymore so MY personal NaNoWriMo begins on Oct 15th because I said so

You should be concerned about the rate of authors leaving publishing. Especially from marginalized communities. This year I have seen so many authors just pack it up and go. And it's only getting worse.
☕️ has a younger brother, unnamed in the story, who he has no relationship with thanks to their father.

🫖 had two sisters. They are dead now. And much to his despair, you can read all about their deaths AND the trials on multiple true crime blogs.
Does your MC have any siblings? Are they part of the story? What are they like? #WritingPrompt

I'd really appreciate if writers these days took a look at their characters doing therapyspeak and whether that's appropriate for their work and their world.

By "therapyspeak" I mean speaking like this: "This is the emotion I'm feeling, and feeling that emotion makes me want to act in a way"
Thank YOU for creating such an impactful piece of art 💜
