1946 tonight!
@anoteinpink you’ll be glad to know I put in a lil over 4k words today and got past the Trouble Spot and with two days of oceanside cabin living in my future I think I might just have Dogs for you soon???
when ppl ask me why I write science fiction, I love to give them grandiose answers like “well you see in the future, anything is possible, including the eradication of racism, sexism, and all of the cruel -isms” or “my imagination is too small to be contained to the world we know, you see” or “Ray Bradbury possessed me with the frenzied spirit of Ethereal Words after he passed and I Can’t Stop” but the truth is today I went to write that my character’s fighter smelled like fast food but I couldn’t think of what that was called for a second and I just kept typing and I wrote “quickfoods”
and that is perfectly acceptable
and that is why I write science fiction
today was the first day in a while for that beautiful, ugly feeling of “I really do want to punch someone in the face” arose in me, with Feeling and Vigor
I love that @amekay3 brings me sea treasures for my spells
you know it took me approximately a week to edit 1/3 of Daugment and it’s taken me 2 months to assemble a 2000-word timeline in order to edit the next chapter. FUCK EDITING
I feel strongly that in my position of relative power, it’s not my place to speak for the voiceless, but to use my influence to make room for all voices to speak for themselves.
i had a good thing going with my cloudcounter story. i should pick that back up one day
There needs to be a specific word for the way writers feel when they look back at old work and feel that weird, nostalgic pull of “fucking damn it this was so good. I was so good. Motherfucker.”
yeah why ISNT that a word yet
nostaljitters, n. the sensation of “trembling in place” that comes after reading one’s prior work and wondering if you’ve simply stood still since you wrote it.
