am I crazy or does @elvisthealien.bsky.social look like the evil king from ella enchanted?

Even if this novel doesn't turn into anything, I'm proud of myself for getting this far. I've never finished one of my writing projects before, let alone edited something that I have finished. It's a new experience for me, and it's fun (when I'm not thinking about how much I suck)

Turns out editing the second draft is 1000x more difficult and time-consuming than writing the first draft. I'm finding out I made a billion mistakes, and correcting them all while keeping track of all my changes is pretty rough. I'm hoping the third pass through will be primarily just polishing.

The amount of bigotry against trans and nonbinary people is so disturbing and disheartening. An absurd fraction of the world severely lacks empathy.

Had to erase an entire chapter today 😪 is this what growth feels like? (Sucks)

surpassed 101,000 words, and I'm 13 chapters into editing the 50

I've grown an immense appreciation for anyone who has ever written a book and taken it seriously, ever. This shit is so hard and SOOOO time-consuming.

this is 99% of the replies on twitter

Twitter has never been worse, I'm not kidding

wow, this sucks

Was gonna record, and then the 40 kids around the neighborhood decided to convene next door and have a scream-off with many expletives. This will go on for hours.

The Ethan bradberry reference in the new @elvisthealien.bsky.social vid caught me so off guard 😂😂

Editing my novel is revealing a billion mistakes I made the first time through. When I'm done editing it, I'm sure I'll find another billion on my third read. 🙃 Oi vey

Took me way too long to realize I prefer coffee without sugar

The Netflix DMC show using Limp Bizkit for the intro music 🤣

The first draft of my book is finished. 94,000 words. Editing begins tomorrow.

One more chapter left 😳. We finish this thing tomorrow, and then the fun ends and the real work begins.

I think I'm 2 chapters from finishing 😳

Jason Bateman's THE CRAB from Thunder Force will be returning in Avengers Doomsday

Reached 90,000 words. Yall probably thought I gave up. Not yet 😁

And that’s on that 😌

AOC: One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her with one who will.

Fell off the horse for a bit, but I managed to write 1k words today. I'll definitely have this done before GRRM finishes Winds of Winter. That I can promise.

Thanks, youtube. I needed this.

The other website is pretty much done

I've reached the final 3-5 chapters of my book, and I'm having a lot more trouble than I expected. I think it's because I so desperately want the payoff to be good that I'm wracking my brain like Dr Strange trying to think of the best scenario out of the countless potential scenarios 😵‍💫

There are certain words that enter the cultural zeitgeist that end up getting used ad nauseum, like "demure" and "diabolical", and it's a painful reminder that most people don't read anymore.
