i wonder if everybodyd think i flipped, if i went to LA, via L 2

it wasn't bad enough coming up with new story ideas riffing with actual writer friends online, when I don't have the time to write the story ideas I already do have. now my own children are getting in on the act, and helps design a plot line that several of my friends want to read now...

So, my text message and random notification sounder on my phone has for over a decade now been the ending sound from The Hidden Almanac, Rev Mord saying, Remember, you are not alone. It went off while i was starting to wake up this morning, still in a very weird dream.

Yes, it is!!! But if you're in for some laughs, there's no age limit!! sidequested.com/book

I stopped writing for years because it was pointless and what I wanted was a complete and total impossibility, and then I started doing it again because it was fun

oooo, gotta tell the entomemeology peeps

urge to make puzzles around serial novels

and now im just.... staring into space, reliving that one. God damn that was a good story.

seen on Facebook and ... some people suggested that sci-fi should be replaced with Romance, but still... not wrong

So, I've been quiet for a few reasons lately. one of them being, I had my chest cracked open and tubes replaced. it's expensive. I know you see a lot of these. I'm sharing if anybody's interested in helping. gofund.me/2fbb309fd

jack daniels can be classified as either bourbon or whiskey, since bourbon and whiskey are simply different names for identical products

🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

toss up between the original Scouting for Boys, and The Little Prince. ... or maybe an original edition, all red paper cover, Gem Trails of Arizona....

This 30% discount on preorders is still up!!

Nothing good on social media can ever last, but I wish everyone a very happy being far even as deciding to use even go want to do look more like while we are so blessed. And maybe play some Gemcraft or another classic Kongregate/Newgrounds/Armor-era Flash game while you're at it.

In a rather confusing mood of I mean it IS sad news, but also ... not sure how I feel... Leslie Fish has passed.

I just find this really sad. Imagine being so certain that you need slop machines to do your work, that you convince yourself that EVERYBODY must need them.

Absolutely confounds me that there hasn't been a friendslop Smash TV remake, complete with exaggerated 80s aesthetics and retrofuture tech.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives. If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

The Beta-ings will continue until bug reports inprove.

This is what would have been the norm if the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your house had won the election.

Everyone needs a Klopper. Everyone knows Klopper, and Klopper knows everyone. ( and I'm betting there's going to be like six people that I have no clue who they are, are going to ask if I possibly mean this specific person whose last name is Klopper, and at least four of them it's going to be him

and now I'm wondering if I remember it from a rerun, or if this is actually the first TV moment that I remember, and not the challenger.

wait wait.... maybe when people have told me that my profile picture looks like senator Armstrong... they meant major? that said, neither of them have beards. but they do have my chin if I shave.

It's true! Nightmare Magazine will open to subs in January! Check out the schedule below for dates & times; read the guidelines for more specifics. And yes, as ever, each writer can make one submission to each category: short story, flash, poetry, CNF. adamant.moksha.io/publication/...

The witch made him hot chocolate. "They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am." He took a sip. "They say I can overcome any hardship." "Mm," said the witch. "And I can. I do." The witch said nothing. "But I shouldn't have to!" "No." The witch held the hero as he wept. "No, you shouldn't."

well, something else I can do with the old gumball machine Im refurbishing

OK so this was amazing. I saw this at a library I visited today. I love this. A gumball machine ... but it is filled with writing prompts. @library.loudoun.gov Great idea! #writing #writingcommunity

I'm going to start putting together some free info and resources for indie game devs looking to self-publish. I see a lot of people making simple mistakes, and hear a lot about being overwhelmed by what they need to do. Do folk have specific self-publishing questions they'd want answered?

wait, when did Bellino get tattoos?

not going to lie, they had me in the first half.

I feel many of you are going to have interesting responses to this picture of Zohran Mamdani and his wife from Election Night.

looks like there's also four different settings around potential imposter/pretending to be another person account, and I'm pretty sure that they're going to include the ones that are obviously satire and or joke accounts.

Gawd damn. love it. @stormystohelit.bsky.social seems like your jam

People who can't handle a protagonist majorly fucking up are weak and will not last the winter

Better brainwormed than Worm brained web serial? (I joke.) Also, Bajongulers

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

fuck

In other words, Mat doesn't know what the legal definition of a monopoly is.

If you're interested in reading some of my earlier work, the Selene series, a four-part web serial and the first piece of writing I ever exposed to the world, is now officially complete! Read the entire thing here: beccawritesbooks.wordpress.com/the-selene-s... www.scribblehub.com/series/24934...

Need Josh and Coyote action figures to join my pantheon

in order to be in opposition against the big fascism, apparently you have to allow the little fascism? and who gets to determine what's big versus little fascism?

as somebody who has had two different jobs in which I go through mail that got Miss delivered to the business I was working for, and some of the things that I have seen and then securely shredded... not surprised in the slightest. already knew that.

head canon, this is what Josh was wearing that last day. @alepresser.com

Look, the artist did quite a lot of excellent writing alongside me on our projects, but yeah, wheels, houses, throwing a bearing
