started listening to nine inch nails as of late in order to bond with the awful sweaty aro trans guy in my 90s dante book and tbh if Eye listened to closer right after meeting some freak at the gay bar i too would probably think about letting him hunt me for sport

BIG NEWS! Lately, we've been hinting at a secret project. And... today, we are thrilled to officially announce Portals: a line of themed, guest-edited mini-anthologies coming soon from Hybris Press. More details (including the theme for Portals #1 and a call for submissions) in the 🧵 (1/8)

Rewrite every line three times, it's fun. Whatever you wrote the first time was multiple selves and ego deaths ago. You owe it to your current self to write that line again

me btw. if you care

sat down to write, like, any of the other pressing things i need to write and now im editing a flash thing about surgery as sex but with rfk jr levels of animal abuse. what’s happening to me man

This is what novel plot revision feels like
