For Those In Need Of Love Today #contemplation #love #music

How does one describe a main characters appearance or even their gender in 1st person POV without sounding totally unnatural? I would never, ever for any reason in a million years think to describe my appearance or gender to someone unprompted 😂

I’m storytelling for the #RoyalCollegeofPhysicians this half term and I went along for a visit. This damaged book dates from before the Great Fire. It looks as if it was chewed by a rat but the damage is really the result of shrapnel from the blitz in ww2

Dear British people, what are the stereotypes (good or bad) of places in the UK? Are there some regions where you say all the posh people live? Someplace you stay away from because all the serial killers live there? Someplace fairies live? Tell me your lore (the more false and fanciful, the better)

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Yes, I did this with full intention knowing it's a "terrible trope". Because it was absolutely critical the reader understood the MC's physical disability - she has kyphosis. I've written a lot of books, I would never do it under any other circumstances. #writingq #writesky #booksky 📚🪐💙 #noAI

#QueerPrompts As a bi person that's literally how that works so, yes, that assumption is made about the characters in my book. In my Dragons of Esternes series, I have the SC bi and MC ace/aro discuss the problem - bearing in mind this is second-world fantasy and they don't have our vocabulary.

"AI" doesn't speak for me. "AI" doesn't think for me. I won't allow it. "AI" is theft, and it's being used by a ton of cheaters. Ironically, it's not even great at cheating, since it has no way of knowing what is correct and what is bullshit.

I still believe that Bsky is by far the healthiest social media platform, which is a bit like saying that it's the least deadly plague, but that is precisely why we must openly criticise and oppose it when it does something stupid, like the new NSFW guidelines.

"Before Slow Horses, he says, he often found himself pigeonholed by directors: “They were very much like: ‘This is the Asian part’,” he says. When he was working on Waterloo Road, an executive producer suggested that a good storyline for Archie would have him “go to China on a boat”."
