"...writing will not improve your quality of life, gain you respect, or earn you money--but it might just be how you survive. No machine can do that for you.”

Allyson Shaw's Missives From The Verge · TRYOUTS FOR THE HUMAN RACE--on silencing and generative AI--
An English teacher in one of my high schools would say ‘if you can’t spell a word, it’s not yours to use.’ She made us stand at the board and write out words like bourgeoisie. The atmosphere in that room was very Lord

18.01.2025 Have you ever wanted to write a story but lacked the skills for it?
Absolutely.

I'm seeking advice from #writers:
Right now, I'm not getting what I want out of my creative writing. I still feel like I'm holding myself back, playing it safe, hiding behind words instead of using them to reach out to the reader.
I think I need to break myself open, get a little crazy, shake it up a bit so I can bypass my thinking mind and write from the heart.
Do you have any suggested exercises (or other advice) for this kind of thing?
If you'd rather not have the professor call on you in class, perhaps you should pay attention to this lecture!

Goodnight Fedifriends.
The view on #capecod near sunset on a day deemed “unhealthy” because of particulates from somewhere or another — #Quebec fires? Boston smog? — despite a strong wind out of the north all day. #apocalyptic #writingcommuity #photography
I revisited my favourite coffee place in Budapest, yet I did not get to write in there today. I hope, I will have a poetry related post ready later!
But first, look at Cafe Orient and their salted caramel latte with me!
Sitting down with a coffee.
Wearing a pretty dress.
Writing down a thought that has been around in my head forever.
Writing it for hours, in different shades and and forms, until it feels right.
That's what I do at my favourite coffee place every Wednesday to write #Poetry.
How about you?
Just 812 words for today (meh) Writing with a head full of cold, sinuses that feel like someone has stuffed a table cloth inside my head, and eyes that feel as though I have been interrogated all day by the Spanish inquisition.
Hope for a better day tomorrow where I can catch up with those lost words. #Writing #Writers #WritingCommuity #WritersOfMastodon
If ya'all are ever interested in getting your heart pumping, sign up to live pitch your book! It went great, but WOW, the adrenaline of having to use my human mouth to make human words about my book to another human's face. I was wired all day! #amquering #writingcommuity #writer #writerslife #amwriting #amwritingfanasy
So from what I've heard, the #bluesky protocal is federated, but for corporations so they can continue to stalk you and make money, so they won't use ActivityPub?
Most comments on twitter are very kind, people say it's what they want, while Mastodon comments say it is very horrible. Hmmm!
Anyway #follow me so I can grow my enjoyment on here. I #followback mostly #artist #writers #filmmaker or the gatekeepers in those areas like #editor #curator #publisher etc #writingcommuity #sciencefiction
Going to sleep but want to use a few hashtags like this so I can find more people to follow. #art #writing #writingcommuity #scifi interests me
As an #author with a #smallpress I’ve realized getting on a “Most anticipated” lists is unlikely. If you’d like to help get my sci-fi & fantasy fusing epic adventure with lost technologies in front of more eyes you could vote for Trials of the Innermost on these Goodreads lists.

Great post on crowdfunding by @thorncoyle. Check it out!
T. Thorn CoyleWhy Crowdfund?On Gratitude and Leveling the Playing Field A group of people gather on an assortment of chairs in a living room. A cellist tunes her instrument, then plays. We are enrapt. A different night, two different musicians stand in the same living room to play mandolin and guitar, and sing. We are delighted. Artistic portraits of mythical giants, science fiction saints and adventurers, and fabulously rendered divination cards grace my walls. Books line my shelves, and the pixelated pages of my tablet.

'Succeed: theory. Prosperity argues capacity. Win in the lottery, and behold! you are a clever man. He who triumphs is venerated. Be born with a silver spoon in your mouth! everything lies in that. Be lucky, and you will have all the rest; be happy, and people will think you great.'
'Gilding is gold. It does no harm to be the first arrival by pure chance, so long as you do arrive.'

12 chapters into Victor Hugo's 'Les Misérables' and he could be referring to any contemporary, moneyed-up chump you care to mention.
'Success; that is the lesson which falls drop by drop from the slope of corruption. Be it said in passing, that success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men. For the masses, success has almost the same profile as supremacy.'
