One thing about me is that most of the timeI’m like if a guy was a German shepherd who got left on the side of the road but instead of a dog he’s a guy who decided to write a lot of words about it. You understand.

When is a dark academia story actually dark enough for a grimdark fan?

(Grim) Dark Academia: Where Studying is Probably Deadly

We’ve put together a list of our favourites of the darkest of dark academia fantasies that take the familiar tropes of magical further education and twist them into something more intense and unsettli...

I’m going to say something patently absurd. Bear with me. I miss the MBTA green line.

I’d apologize for M*A*S*H posting so much but only if my 30+ disc DVD set hasn’t been my best friend & constant companion for the past couple of months (aside from, of course, my large dog…who is approximately five DVD discs tall)

Ok enough real Book posts for now. Got asked what I ACTUALLY do on a dating app recently and simply can’t deal. Idk what to tell you, I listed “freelance writer/odd jobs guy” in my bio. I’m a freelance writer who does odd jobs. What do you want from me? A traditional career path? In this economy?

Rabbit Test and Other Stories has been LAUNCHED, and I am finally settling back into my day-to-day groove. I'm collecting nice things in this thread! linky links: Tachyon: bit.ly/3QcZmSx Bookshop: bit.ly/4tvfAET B&N: bit.ly/41TJBCu Amazon: bit.ly/4ccbhqX

Have been slowly introducing the six mind magic students of THOUGHTS BE BLOODY over on the 📸 place, so let me introduce y’all as well! Meet Laertes Hart (blunt, brawler, twin of Lia Hart, perpetually tired of the bullsh*t) and Ross & Gil (not twins but close enough, mischievous & goofy)

Name a quote from a TV show.

oh uhm. youre on my house

Glover’s silk moth

excited to finally share I'm gonna be in the The Thing: Art Book v2 by Printed in Blood. I'm such a fan of this movie and I'm so excited to be a part of this!! here's a preview of my #art submission 🩸🐕 preorders are still open printedinblood.com/product/the-...

When people ask, "How can I promote my art when the world is going to shit" I hear that as, "How do I have the right to make art when the world is going to shit" And... We need art more than ever during such times. You need to be making art more than ever during such times.

My best craft advice is "Put a giant worm in it." You can never go wrong with a giant worm. Sci-fi: Giant worm on an alien planet Fantasy: Giant worm in mountain sitting on a pile of gold Horror: Giant worm (eats people) Romance: Giant worm causes third-act breakup Mystery: Giant worm investigates

Writers: what’s a solid piece of *craft* advice you wish you’d known sooner? Mine is this: when making writing decisions, always stop and ask yourself what is best for the SCENE. What are the scene’s goals? Does this sentence, this paragraph, this line of dialogue serve those goals? If not, fix it.

Who’s that guy? Never heard of him.
