theoldaeroplane:

bro. Bro

bro i read zen in the art of writing when i was still in high school and it changed my fucking life

I should have clarified. “““AGAIN”““ did you read Zen in the Art of Writing AGAIN because of COURSE you read it in high school

I didn’t get to it until college, which I sincerely regret but am also thankful for because I wouldn’t have listened to him in high school

SPACE OPERA

preludeinz:

THAT’S MAYBE THE WRONG WORD TO USE

IDK

I JUST

I HAVE HALFWAY REWRITTEN WATERSHIP DOWN, BUT IN SPACE, WITH DUDES INSTEAD OF RABBITS.

well considering that the first book I publish in this universe under my own name will be about a famous general whose consciousness must be transferred into the body of a beagle-basset in order for him to escape assassination……..

THAT SOUNDS GREAT

I love when the answer to my perfectly legitimate question is essentially the internal equivalent of LMGTFY

so along with the studio (speaking of, we recorded a third of our first video’s audio track last night!!), something I’m working on developing this year is, like…a novel commune. basically I’ve created a scifi universe sandbox to play in, and people who want to write smut under a pen name can publish under Bastille Winters, or people who want to write…say, crime novels can set them in the universe and publish under the umbrella of the universe but under their own name. it’ll encourage cross-promotion and collaboration and instead of each author having to build their own catalog so that readers have something to move on to, we’ll all share in the delicious self-promotion wealth

and I’m looking for people interested in taking part so just throwing it out there to my writerfriends….there are literally 3500 years of scifi history very loosely accounted for that need to be filled up with your stories……..in any genre…….

OH and might I add, this is an INCREDIBLY sex*- and identity-positive universe. like that’s one of the main points of me creating this whole deal
