This Isn’t Strictly About You Daily writing prompt Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. View all responses The thing about men is DARVO, and the thing about DARVO is men. Not even quite in a like, all men are evil fuckers way. The word "evil" honestly feels reductive in virtually all instances, the same way the word "good" does. Reductive and, frankly, limiting.

A stylized book mockup for Blood Cursed & Book Bound. The title appears in bold black serif text at the top, with the tagline in pink: “They were fated to save the world.” A young woman with long dark hair, tattoos on both arms, and red sunglasses stands centered with hands on her hips, wearing an oversized dark shirt that reads, “She cursed him instead.” Faint typewritten text fills the background. In the lower left corner, smaller text lists genre elements: “NA ‘cozy’ romantasy, forced proximity, fae Cold War, fake dating, WIP.”

2 newly graduated teens who were once fated mates are now blood-cursed enemies & desperate to escape each other.
But when they’re both hired as interns to edit tampered spellbooks, they discover someone is trying to reigniting the Cold War & making them enemies was the 1st step.

TEXT: We Expected More in neon orange (the title)

beneath this we have "found family," "Gals being pals (and also not)," and "aliens & more"

Finally, at the bottom: (optimistic dystopia at its queerest)

América,

Your No Kings protests were a good start.

But I’m afraid to make a difference your going to have to be more like the French.

Protest every day.

Shut the country down.

One protest every 3 months doesn’t effect change. Daily pressure does.

Very good; work of my life takes a step forward for the first time in a long time good. Less than one percent reach this point good, what I've been working towards for years good. So obviously, all my insides have gone sparkling. I say that - and it's true - both the meaning you interpret here and the meaning you might interpret when I say it another way.

STRIKE! Daily writing prompt What activities do you lose yourself in? View all responses Writing for me has exactly two moods: Absolutely uncontrollable drive to Do, every second of every day monopolized by (bare minimum) planning what scene I'm writing next, every spare second spent writing what's next down A constipated attempt to get something out I don't lose myself in watching TV.

Full believer in the absolute comfort of dystopia when the world itself seems overbrimming with toxicity. Absolutely faithful to the truth that spreading stories of our survival is a radical act.

Keep writing ✍️

Keep It Up, Mama Daily writing prompt What is your favorite drink? View all responses She was calm, she was kind, and she was here to remove our daughter from our home. I knew that before she arrived, before anyone had told me. I'd known that in the hospital when I AMA'd, and I'd known that when I arrived home and husband was cleaning, his face a hard surface of rage and fear.
