The Aquarium for Lost Souls
The aquarium is different every time I die. Exhibits reshuffling like a deck of cards. The blood loss, though, that’s reliable.

HOWS YOUR BOOK GOING?! HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED WRITING SOMETHING PEOPLE READ? Good luck in the trenches out there today. And remember, all you have to do is self publish a bestseller that becomes a movie and write the newspaper about it

hey not to be all corny but please understand and internalize that your creative work is vital and beautiful whether others see/hear it or not and that your creative expression enriches the world just by your having done it

YELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While at Yallfest I kept trying to think of ways to say "I don't personally consider Bree & Sel to be 'enemies-to-lovers' in Legendborn because they don't fit my personal definition of that trope. You'll know what I mean when I write it." without sounding menacing and villainous, but couldn't.

Hot take, you're actually an amazing writer who's making progress every day regardless of if you write or not. Creating and resting goes hand in hand with making art. Both are important. Go at your own pace, hype up, and believe in yourself, improve your craft. You've got this.

We must must must resist the idea that generative AI is inevitable. It is not inevitable. People don't really like it. It doesn't do its job well. It removes the humanity from one of the most human-forward things. Not to mention it is an environmental nightmare. Keep banging the drum. Say no to AI.
