If you use AI to write your story or your music, you’re a loser. I don’t have time for anything you’ve presented because you didn’t have time to actually work at being creative. If that makes me an asshole, I’ll be that. It’s not the first time I’ve been called an asshole, and it won’t be the last.

Hello #queerwriters I have a lot going on this week so I'm trying to keep my goals lowkey. I'm going to try and finish a section of Lakehouse Bacchanal WIP which will get me a little over halfway, and make some marketing stuff, send out newsletters, etc. And get some reading done

Doing an accountability thread for this week (and hoping I won't forget about) because I want to get a good chunk of lakehouse bacchanal WIP drafted. Maybe get halfway if I can... Wrote 5028 words today, used cock 18 times in a single chapter, and finished a section. I'm off to a good start 😌

I have written 10k words this week, and I'm rewarding myself by making knock-off red lobster cheddar biscuits to go with dinner

I wrote 7,777 words today

I don't need a list of 'ethical' fiction. I need fiction to be allowed to exist in an environment where it isn't shamed or attacked when it is open with it's potential triggers and themes so people can curate what they can or cannot engage with because that's better for everybody.

Tied in knots 🖤

So I couldn't find the original thread, and therefore have written my own analysis and put it on my website (to avoid censorship for bluntly discussing sexual content). There's also an indecent amount of food metaphors. Enjoy? www.riengray.com/blog/the-perpetual-disappointment-of-if-only-eroticism

The Perpetual Disappointment of “If Only” Eroticism — Rien Gray

I remember a thread a while ago where the OP was discussing books that implied deeper/more intense eroticism in dialogue than is ever shown in actual scenes, and I’d love to find it again, because I keep seeing the same scenario everywhere.

Lurking in the deep ocean.

There are so many to choose from for UNTETHERED. I have an entire spooky section, but I think this is the only one that doesn't need more context: "The statue tilted its head back, and the wail of hundreds of festering spirits shook the church."

What do you think is the spookiest line from your book/wip? #WritingPrompt

I know it's Tuesday, but I forgot to do this yesterday lol. I completed one goal of cleaning up what I had of TDL so far, and now i have 3 working chapters. My word count goal is 5k this week because I also have several books to read before they expire. I will be bouncing between projects

Y'all ever go through a phase where you read books, and they're good, but you're still left wanting...and then it happens. You pick up a book that blows your tits clean off. Go read Pasha the Storm.

While a third of way drafting act three in UNTETHERED, I paused in the middle of a sentence and went "wait, where the fuck is Mr. Pinkus?!" I made a note for myself when it's time for edits to make sure I don't forget him a second time

What's something you're fixing in edits that you knew would have to change in some capacity while drafting? What made you realize it would have to change? #WritingPrompt

"You should warn people when your characters are Trans and what genitalia they have especially if there are sex scenes" I am a lot more selective about who I choose as a beta reader now

If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.

Sometimes I see a video that makes me wonder what beings of higher intelligence would think if that video was the first video they saw of us... And then I like the video, because at that point I feel like I have to
