Decision fatigue is real and it is rough. Here's what helps me with overcoming that hurdle.

Also, I've been struggling to compile this, so if you work at an indie bookstore that will take books direct from authors/any distributor that isn't Ingram or the Big 5, can you please let me know below? I have a small list but would love more!

Apparently Smashwords royalties are changing as of January 1, 2026. Books under $2.99 will get 40% list; books $2.99 or over get 75%. (Amazon KDP, for context, is generally 35% and 70% respectively) Draft2Digital owns Smashwords, so if you publish via D2D it's easy to add ebooks there. 💙📚

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here. Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women. I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.

For a story: I'm looking to speak to earlyish-career workers about their experiences working multiple jobs, whether it's multiple part-time/gig jobs, side hustles on top of full-time jobs, etc. Email [email protected], Signal rstauff.20, DMs open.

RPG tip: Beach and shopping episodes give the characters a break between big climactic adventures. #dnd #ttrpg

Eberron's Mournland markets present a true challenge for any #dnd adventurer. The Mournland Market might just have the items you need to stay alive... or to make things worse.

This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"

A great thread and applicable to my industry. Friends in the biz ask why I don't want to use AI to shotlist or draft ideas. Because that is *what* I love; the maddening, mysterious, staring into space or the blank page and connecting to creative ideas from the ether. That's the whole f'ing thing.

when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

Please don't let the fear of not doing something well stop you from trying it for the first time. Write a messy story. Paint a crappy flower. Whittle the worst wooden bear of all time. The best gift you can give yourself is to have fun and grow.

I named my fists Sense and Sensibility because good judgement and a passionate heart are always up for grabs.
