My expert explains today’s #WIPSnips: bsky.app/profile/bjor...

According to a source, I snore the chorus to Heart of Glass. I reckon it's my secret power.

#WIPSnips I have to go with ability. Today, @sporothrix.bsky.social is at fault and could explain to Halldóra what her illness is. Alas, Sporothrix wasn’t born in 1920. I think. #Iceland, 1920. Side effects of too much truth include death… → www.bjornlarssen.com/storytellers → bjornlarssen.itch.io

Why is the rapture (not by Blondie) trending? Has it already happened or is it later today? Because I haven’t bought paracetamol/Tylenol yet to be spared. 😬

Bisexuality erasure and bi-phobia are real. And two more examples of things I don’t understand. I know they exist, I just don’t understand them. Happy international bisexuality day! ♥️

I think I’ve read this book.

I don’t like a single other track by Kitaro. The only Jon Anderson song I like is his collaboration with Mike Oldfield, ‘Shine’. How did those two create magic together?

“I’ll be honest and straightforward, and say: I do not miss selling things. I found that to be quite soul-destroying. But I very much miss the art. I just got to do so little of the bit that I actually enjoyed. […] Her stance on transgender issues has put her […] in direct opposition to Rowling…”

If anyone is a paid subscriber to The NoSleep Podcast, your #WIPSnips host has a short story featured on there today! I am considering a private listen party for spooky season, but we’ll see what I can plan. I’m just thrilled to be on the show!

I’m a romance reader. Guess I need to read ‘On Tyranny’.

#QueerPrompts Magni in The Ten Worlds longs for nothing but peace, but has to fight hard to find any resemblance of it. Maya would really spend her life in bed if she could – she can’t, though. Thorolf craves adventure until he gets more of it than he can handle…

A great review of my little Icelandic Adventure! www.amazon.com/Icelandic-Ad...

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 21: Writing advice you’ll read online will constantly contradict itself. Use the parts that work for you and disregard the rest. But read it first. Learn the rules before you start breaking them.

What movie do you consider perfect? [Full quote in alt-text]

Thorolf wants to be a king, believing that this is how he can become untouchable. He doesn’t know about King Midas and how untouchable that one was. The more power Thorolf obtains, the less he wants it, but by then he has no choice. Hence the title, ‘The Blue King’. Careful what you wish for.

I for one welcome the rapture If it takes all the evangelicals away, the rest of us can get to work actually fixing society & saving the planet instead of just trying to stop the evangelicals from killing our marginalized friends

I only need 19 more trips to catch up!

The new blog post is finally on my actual blog: My creative anxiety, or the many ways in which I manage to become anxious about everything I write. www.bjornlarssen.com/2025/09/20/m... @mondayblogs.bsky.social #MondayBlogs

I just subscribed.

I like the dance mix best.

I unlocked the ko-fi post about my creative anxiety – it’s now public. (I should probably copy it to my blog…) Thanks to @asymmetriccreative.bsky.social for inspiration. There’s also a new supporter-only post on ko-fi! ko-fi.com/Post/The-imp...

If you get this reference I like you by default :) (The #WhoNeedsContext series nods in approval)

I am absolutely obsessed with Saint Etienne’s new album, International. Sarah’s voice finally sounds like that of a heavy smoker she is, but the music is amazing. (This video isn’t amazing, but the song is a #banger and an earworm.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HzZ...

As do I...

The best Pratchett book IMO. Half of it is the best part and the rest merely great.

My head currently serenades me with “There's a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus in my pool” so that’s what you get. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j2C...

Just finished We Men of Ash and Shadow by @hollytinsl3y.bsky.social. What a book. I loved it. It does not hold anything back. It will stare you right in the eyes and kick you where it hurts. Raw and brutal at times, but also with a heart that keeps on beating. It had me hooked from the start.

I call anyone under 30 kid :/

Post a female character you love. ONE?

This was a perfect mix of exquisite, grimdark writing and gloomy vocal fry. I loved narrating this gripping, unique fantasy audiobook with something to really say about our world. Available now.

I still have impostor syndrome, but suddenly I feel a bit better. Unlike glorified autocorrect, I have new ideas – it’s trained on my books, among others, because it doesn’t.

The streets are empty because everyone is recording a podcast.

I have no better comment. …

And lo, Llama looked to the sky, as the gaping maw of online rage became manifest. It saw the Memes and Outrage, the Reply Guys and Well Actuallys, the people who knew better than you and the ones who knew better than them, and as the world's rage poured into its soul all it could do was scream.
