exactly!

my identity is intrinsic to my writing and the way my characters navigate the world. while i don't particularly love making it the point of my work, it's always going hand in hand with how i perceive and write stories #BIPOCQTchat

i feel most proud of putting one foot in front of the other in regards to my writing, finishing manuscripts even though they've been rejected. it's hard to keep pushing amid rejection but each day, i still find a way

sneak!!!

IT DID NOT

a lot of authors have started writing in the defensive crouch induced by social media, where the fear of being misread causes them to write less interestingly. this is bad and they should stop it. people will always misread, because lots of people are dumb, badly taught, or reading in bad faith

It drives me nuts from the other direction because I’ve been annoyed at multiple books lately because they Kept Hammering the Same Point Over and Over and I’m eventually going “are you writing this for very dim people?”

so long 2023 i hope your sibling doesn't kill me

I think about the idea of pre-emeptive aesthetic exhaustion a lot

gary from spangboab. he looks fucked up. caption says it’s tuesday? *dies*

its so exhausting writing "literary" or whatever, i know it will be worth it but my brain hears gunshots after a successful paragraph

I was trying to find an old drawing but this really is the mood this week.

there are people in my head and hopefully someday i will have the means to share them with the world 🥴 i am currently working on a historical fiction novel set in 70s méxico!

this has been revelación
