Each time all typos are successfully edited from a book, the entire universe is immediately replaced with a new universe containing a version of the book that has at least one typo.

Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

Dear artists, it's hard avoiding wondering if what we do is irrelevant or an insult when it's harsh, scary, dangerous & violent out there, but one thing is always true as stone: someone will need what you do, someone won't, & you won't know the difference. Err on the side of hope. Create if u can.

Some news from me!

A reminder that Afterlight is available as a free download! It sits at around 191k words or about 450 pages of fun sci-fi goodness. It's queer, spicy, and has SO many aliens. What's not to love? ✨👽🌶️🌈 asolathi.itch.io/afterlight #amwriting #mmromance #scifiromance #bookrelease #booksky #romancereads

i wrote about dissociation, reading as comfort, vice and self obliteration during times of horror, and also about reading exclusively about gay love for like. a year buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Afterlight has made its galactic debut! It's free, queer, spicy, and has SO many aliens. What's not to love? ✨👽🌶️🌈 asolathi.itch.io/afterlight #amwriting #mmromance #scifiromance #bookrelease #booksky #romancereads 🎨 femkeneriart; cover design my own

#OnThisDay in AD 192, Emperor Commodus was murdered in his bath by a wrestler named Narcissus after an attempt to poison him failed. Commodus’s death ended his tyrannical rule and ushered in the so-called Year of the Five Emperors, a period of chaos and power struggles in the Roman Empire.

5000+ years old, and it still precisely captures my mood entering 2026.

Well, it’s 20 December, so… it’s the 93rd anniversary of a police raid on “Lady Austin’s camp boys” at 27 Holland Park Avenue, in which 60 men were arrested – including Austin Salmon, for conspiracy to corrupt morals, and keeping a disorderly house

@femkeneri.bsky.social absolutely nailed the character design and retro sci-fi clinch cover vibe for Afterlight. Just brilliant 🥹

If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention lately… 🧵👇

It’s been so exciting to see the enthusiasm for the Afterlight illustration @femkeneri.bsky.social made (& the cover in general), because I have been OBSESSING over here 🩶👽 Now updating biweekly on AO3 because I was too excited to wait for January ✨ #amwriting #mmromance #scifiromance

Like an action scene, there are a LOT of things going on and the way to make those things feel emotionally real is little details that convey everything from danger to intimacy. Like an action scene, they can be well or poorly written.

Re: LRT A sex scene is an action scene. Like an action scene, it is primarily about what is happening to the characters. Like an action scene, it will be boring as fuck if we have no idea what the stakes are or who we care about.

Me when I'm writing: wow I love this, I wish I could do this all the time Me when I'm not writing: I am a hack, a fraud, an impostor, how did I ever have the hubris to believe I could be a writer

It’s been a big week for my little book! The AFTERLIGHT cover art came back — it’s an homage to the retro clinch cover & it is my favourite (!!) thing in the world — and we finished the actual design with lettering. The end is in sight! 🥹 #amwriting #mmromance #scifiromance 👽🩶

There is a good book somewhere in the 170k first draft of Afterburn (Bk 2). As a draft, it felt like exploratory surgery — but I figured it out by the end even if I had to poke around in the guts of the story for awhile. Back to editing Afterlight (Bk 1) for its January release! 👽🚀 #amwriting

Wang Jinkang sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/wang_j... and Spider Robinson sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/robins... were born on this day, so here's some related book covers (Artist: 1&2 [couldn't identify], 3 Philippe Adamov, 4 Peter Jones). 2nd is an anthology including a Jinkang story:

You GOTTA stop being so desperately afraid of the audience. Look at me. Look in my eyeballs. Stop being so desperate for approval. Stop writing for the whiny babies in your audience and start writing for the freaks who like cool fucked up shit

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

Wish me luck—The Scottish Boy (+ a new, similar book!!!) is out on sub to publishers, hoping to find a new home post-Unbound. The book sold out 3 print runs & did big audio numbers on word of mouth, so I hope a new publisher can build on that. If you liked the book, pls RT 💕 synopsis in alt txt

50k into writing Book Two after a whole week of writing, which is just so silly. This is what happens when I get to write about gay space stuff, I guess? 👽⚔️ #amwriting

Sometimes when I'm writing it feels like I am possessed by the ghost of my dumb characters, and that is certainly my preferred way to be haunted 👽 #amwriting

Wow! Brilliant for writers!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Women with cats = weird, bad Men in relationships with Chat GPT = revolutionary, victims of cold women who don’t want to be subjected to bitter weirdos with issues.

99% of my vintage postcards just talk innocuously about weather, family, and travel on the back. Here is a rare drama. “You would not let me support you - it’s your own fault - not mine.”
