"Death of the artist" means when Amy Tan says "I did not intentionally put numerological symbolism in Joy Luck Club" you can go "ok but unconscious-you is very clever and it's in there anyhow."
It does not mean "it doesn't matter if JKR is a terrible person."

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

i had a very darling flashback scene about Lawrence’s summer at a school for the blind (he hated it, it was a scare tactic from his parents) where he also has his first (unrequited) crush (the school headmistress’ younger brother)- both his dad and his sister appear on page too!
What's something you wanted to include in your last book that just didn't make the cut for one reason or another? #WritingPrompt

I was going to include a throne blowjob but it really didn't work with the vibe of the scene it would've been included in 😅 But be assured, it definitely happens someday 😂

Stars, Sparkling Like Snow was supposed to have a fake-dating plot. The fake-dating subplot in White Christmas was the literal inspiration for SSLS. But when I got Hale and Johee together, it was so clear they were into each other that the fake-dating plot felt unnecessary

Blood! Gore and fear and dread!
While some of that did make it in, it was lesser quantities than expected because the damned story decided to be more grown up or something. Now it's about...people! Yuck! 😂

So much worldbuilding is laying on the cutting-room floor for HermitageWIP!
Its a huge world designed to hold more stories, but I overbuilt the planet Avalon a bit.
Maybe someday there will be a story set in Hildergard Falls?
And I would have loved to have Nora's family interacting more with Bayle😥

For THE DEVOURING, I wanted Jason to crash a fancy dinner party/gala and assassinate the people in attendance he was hunting down. Alas, it was not meant to be. 😔

I wanted the team to fight a black dog, the monster not a dog that's black. I think they're a cool way to foreshadow a deal with the devil cuz some stories about them have them showing up after that. It just didn't feel write. The thing I replaced it with flowed a lot better.

ParDafi celebrate the Moon Festival at every lunar eclipse as a way to welcome back the light of the largest of the planet's triple moons.
As night is the only time it's safe to be about on the desert planet, the moons are considered sacred.
