Same - just discovered Blanck Mass for the first time. Why has this music not been in my life. Begged my way to 2 vinyl albums. House vs house is music paradise.

Just Write 500 Words It’s simple.

I’ve just started on a new short story that I may try and turn into a novel. I’ve been agonising about a daily word target and 500 feels about right. It’s manageable even on a bad day and I’m being more consistent with output and quality. #writing www.thecut.com/2018/06/if-y...

Hi, good to connect with you Emma.

The planet held a strange sense about it, as though a #latent evil awaited, just below the surface.

Dylan had sensed this sort of thing before. A place too quiet, with little to no life, but the sensor sweep had said nothing about what lay here.

He shouldn’t land, but he was going to.

#Latent was having a hard time.

Not only had its opposite and rival, Manifest, been named Cambridge dictionary’s word of the year, it was now being toyed with by a bunch of writers on social media.

“It’s like there are these latent forces shaping my life,” Latent mused.

“Vestibule.”

You watch a man with an ‘Uncommitted’ badge shuffle out the elevator.

*Ding*

“Limbo.”

You step out into a meadow wearing a stolen ‘Unbaptised’ badge.

Behind you, your wife, now wearing your ‘Traitor’ badge screams as the elevator continues its #descent through hell.

The Craft of Surrealism: On Accessing the Unconscious in Our Fiction I found literary surrealism as a young teenager by way of Anaïs Nin. I’d become obsessed, fascinated with her Cities of the Interior, which felt heightened, using surrealist imagery in the context …

Yes, perhaps it's time to write surreal stories while the world spins out of kilter.

Beautiful

A planarian worm on the internet

explains that the nature of pain is subjective, and how it likes to be cut into little pieces, because, in the realm of immortality, a little pressure never hurt anyone.

#vss365

Cleave me in two … if you think you can hurt me.

Break me down and scatter my body to the wind … if you think that will stop me.

You think me only a simple #planaria.

That you are better than me.

But unlike me, please never lose your head.

For while I’ll be reborn anew you’ll be dead.

Nicely done.

They call us #creepers.

Too fragile to stand tall and face the world alone.

We find our own ways of seeking out the light.

Sensitive to others, we grow where our support is strongest.

Because when we feel secure we’re fast and fun.

And flower together facing the sun.

I packed up and drove into the wilderness because I needed to discover the world inside me, away from all the noise.

If only you’d have come with me we could have discovered ourselves together.

Then I would have returned to the world with you, instead of leaving it behind.

*The gun barrel is pressed against his temple*

Wait! I got twelve likes!!

Not enough.

*BANG*

What are the #parameters for this #vss365?

You need to use the word parameters and keep it to 300 characters.

And how do I make it good?

Get straight into the action and suggest a larger narrative.

If I write it you’ll let me live?

Depends on the number of likes.

*A gun clicks and is raised*

Funny that! In the lake of the woods getting a lot of love.

An honest assessment! :) I think place is the star of the show in this book and the open ending leaves a strong impression.

Thanks I’ll check it out.

Humankind is central to existence.
Or so some believe.
But what are we really?
Compared to the largest living organism on Earth.
One that seeks to sustain not destroy.
What value intelligence if the intention is wrong?
What value the word #mycelium without a human left to speak it?

Soaked, Alan waited by the ‘Welcome to Little Piddle’ sign, speed camera gun in hand.

A loud engine roar woke him from a daydream about the pointlessness of his existence.

His own number plate. His wife.

Alan raised the gun.

He’d always prided himself on being a good #citizen.
