🧵 "Making it" in trad or landing an agent are fantastic accomplishments of which people should definitely be proud. They're also often a HUGE combination of luck and privilege. I could have kept writing and trunking novels that I was being told were ready for pub but that for the

We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.

Your occasional reminder not to end characters’ names with ‘s’ unless you’re ready to write a lot of awkward s’ or s’s

Eastern Ontario folks, I saw some cars struggling to stay in the road or already in ditches when I did my school run this morning, including in spots where you wouldn't expect to go off the road. It's just snow but it's the soupy kind that grabs your wheels and makes it hard to brake. Go slow.

I was just reminded of how I used to read huge fantasy hardcovers on the bus and ended up with two notes on my car windshield within months about how attractive it was to see a woman reading and here is my number, please call me 🫠. On my car windshield. In the park-and-ride parking lot.

If you think of universal basic income as just "more money," you aren't understanding it and what makes it so different and effective. The fact it comes at a regular frequency is a key factor. When you know that whatever happens next month, you can still buy food, that's a huge deal. It's STABILITY

None yet! And probably none ever. One of the reasons I decided to self-publish was because I realised I was only writing books I wanted published 🤷. I wasn't writing until I got to the one someone else wanted. I wanted them all in print! 🤣

This is one of those games that absolutely destroyed us as kids. I came back and beat it as an adult but it's still hard!!

Has anyone read fantasy or world that uses magic type of book(s) with non-binary as main character and book having a happy ending? I am looking to expand my reading horizons further it’s nice to read suggestions from people who have actually read the book(s). #booksky

Thank you for this wonderful review, Steve! 🥰

Omg I haven't had five jobs 😱. If we count TA-ing in university (which I wouldn't?) and count the job I have now twice, because it's the same job I had previous to this but at a different place, I have had exactly five jobs lol.

Promo Monday! Get your hands on the book described as 'a stunning piece of fantasy horror', 'captivating' and 'deeply unpleasant', and 'why the hell did you write something like THAT?' The Boddicker Letters. Now #SPFBO loaded. www.amazon.com/Boddicker-Le...

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

Karen is still so sweet for this glowing review of The Long Nights (psychic urban fantasy noir genre blending)

My next novella actually is about neurodivergence and capitalism 😂, and I have/am writing that. But the big ones, the sci fis...one day!

So anyway eff the patriarchy and capitalism and utilatarianism. We belong in a society not because of what our usefulness but because we are there. We show up to the measure of what we can do. We aren't judged on the value of what we contribute. (9/?)

I really feel like I lived my entire life until lockdown in "stress -> flight -> more stress from the same thing -> fight", and that's how I got literally anything done (eventually). Then burnout or a breakdown or whatever led to permanent "stress -> freeze". Literally can't handle stress now. I 1/X

And as a self-reflection on my writing based on these stats: I'm shocked to see so many semi-colons in DoT! And a colon 👀. I thought it would be zeros across the board. I bet I'll never use another of either.

My period counting was wrong because I searched period+space lol, skipping the end of every paragraph. Oh well, least interesting punctuation anyway! Corrected DoT: 20,776 YBaB: 3,059 SDotSI: 2,811 (conclusion stands - longer sentences!)

Convincing you to read DAUGHTERS OF TITH (220k) based on the punctuation I used in it - period [.] 14,376 - question mark [?] 2,136 - exclamation point [!] 139 - ellipsis [ . . . ] 71 - em dash [—] 655 - parentheses [()] 0 - comma [,] 7,216 - colon [:] 1 - semicolon [;] 11

End of an era! One of my children has asked for a short haircut and that's happening tonight or tomorrow! Very curious to see how it'll turn out 😯

Via neurowild (The reality is that the western world runs on a historical assumption that kids aren't people but property. We've made huge progresses but that assumption is still around)

This is a cool thread 😊. In DoT the kandar do not have time or distance measurements because they're all-powerful, eternal beings and that was a fun limit to play with. The author is aware of this kind of world detail and must work around it 😁.

I know we're encouraged to see so many unions call for a Jan 23 day of action in Minnesota ✊️ but it will mean even more community work so, a reminder that if you donate now (or later) and tell me you did, I'll give you free feedback in February.
