Cosmic horror but make it funny
In my latest post, I reflect on the kinds of stories I most like to read, and maybe should write as I seem to be running out of them.
Cosmic horror but make it funny
In my latest post, I reflect on the kinds of stories I most like to read, and maybe should write as I seem to be running out of them.
There's a #writing challenge starting at the start of October that'll run through December and I made a list of weekly prompts that I'll be posting every Monday.

The challenge is a nice alternative to #NaNoWriMo and I hope to see more alternatives in the future from our lovely #writers communities.
I'll post the prompts here as well during the challenge under #Q4100kPrompts

“NaNoWriMo’s dead, baby. NaNoWriMo’s dead.”

I have a cognitive disability that makes it very difficult for me to write and I am FURIOUS.
Make no mistake, it is very fucking ableist to use people like me as a shield when you are STEALING FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME. They are the ableist ones here. https://www.404media.co/nanowrimo-ai-policy-classist-ableist/
Apparently I'm doing #NaNoWriMo for the first time? And I should track things publicly maybe? 😅

The last weekend before NaNoWriMo feels like a good time to share my theory about sword and sorcery and what makes those stories tick. I present to you
