Live now for Patrons! I'm quite pleased with this one. I didn't realize it until I started working on this, but many of my favorite horror films fall under this trope, which actually manages to be one of the most effective at making me squirm. www.patreon.com/tlbodine/pos...

Sometimes the horrific is obvious. When a masked man wielding a machete jumps out of the bushes to carve up a bunch of teenagers, it's obvio

I wrote a post-apocalypse fantasy that was described as "so, so rich" in its world & "so, so thoughtfully done." Though, my personal favorite piece of praise was, "Each character carries the weight of a fully-lived life." (Characters are my favorite thing to write.) linnfoster.com/iron-spirit/

IRON SPIRIT: post-apocalypse; man-made chosen one; coming of age; found vs blood family; vicious faeries; explorations of grief; "Annihilation" vibes; road trip through Canada, off with the king’s head. (Art by Russell Showalter.)

I think I do well with naturally flowing dialogue and character chemistry. You'll have to decide if I'm right! #booksky #writesky #indieauthor All tips from book sales go toward my husband's gender affirming care! #trans #queerauthor

Between this and my car repair bill, it's going to be a truly woeful week of stress. And that's all before my other bills due next week. But, you know, one freaking problem at a time 😭 Every repost helps! 💙 Trying not to panic, but bills are Stress City these days ... ko-fi.com/rjcrunden/go...

Nothing quite like waking up to a 550 bill. Due immediately. Which I don’t have because my entire next paycheque was set aside for my car repairs. Honestly, just fuck my life. I’m so tired of this shit. Why does everything always suck 😭

apparently i’m an ‘intellectual snob’ for disliking gen ai. i mean, you’re wrong. i’m a nobody writer juggling three jobs. i am the furthest thing from a snob. but let’s say i was. better a snob than a lazy thief who can’t think for themselves whilst killing the planet.

I can't afford to go back to the hospital, but I don't have much of a choice today. Just hoping this isn't pneumonia yet again. We can't afford more hospital bills; we're still drowning from the last time(s) and The Kid's gender affirming care. A single dollar helps. Sharing this helps. 💜

My autoimmune disease is progressive and terminal; it will make me blind, paralyze me completely, end my life. I have to constantly battle back against it, and I've been doing the bare minimum for years because of cost. I need more, and I need help. Every single cent helps. ko-fi.com/cknightwrites

I should mention this more. I made a short visual novel based on my novella Sweet Sorrow! Your choices determine whether Cyrus and Lucien reunite and make up, or go their separate ways. Quick and free to play in your browser! silvercrescentpress.itch.io/swsr-visual

The way indie music is seen as 'cool' and indie films are seen as 'embracing the craft without selling out' while indie books are seen as 'didn't get trad published' gives me feelings. Really crunchy feelings. The snobbery makes zero sense and instantly tells me someone isn't worth listening to.

What's especially crazy to me in this sentiment (which I also had pre bluesky) is how much every other artistic field lauds indies. Indie filmmaking? Good. Indie music? Good. Indie books? Suddenly people draw a line, even though all the reasons Indie is good everywhere else *still apply*.
