the word gender comes from genre and i have little respect for either

Genres aren't real. They are mental projections we impose on stories to simplify the way talk about and sell them but stories come unshaped from deep within us and writers shouldn't feel constrained by or even respect genres at all. The story comes first.

your posts on this have triggered in me not only an obsession with this game, but also a careening fixation on multiple wordle/puzzle variants. im in a very specific, mentally stimulating purgatory. thanks!

getting into wordle variants isnt great for my emotional health but it is also bad for my mental health

to be clear, i stay bumping the black eyed peas. But "Over My Head" has had a lasting legacy that's a little different than most of BEPeas tracks a couple decades later... (don't get ME started on Let's Get it Started...)

The main thing I learned is that in order to write a book, you have to write a book and there's nothing that's going to prepare you for writing a book until you write a book so you should write a book
