I love how I don't even have to watch a show to know what happens, I can just live vicariously through the fandom posting untagged spoilers on social media without consideration.

cute!!!

imo, the idea that good prose should always aim to imitate natural language is poison in Lady Literature's heart

you are art, simply perfection!!

yesss!! i was just wondering where iwtv fans were!!

It's very good to read books, but those of us who read a lot of books probably have a lot more to learn from doing things in public spaces with other human beings

thank you :) !!

i've only been here for less than an hour maybe and now i want to start writing again!!

One thing I love about this app is there’s so many creatives here

the (blue) sky is the limit!!

Book recommendations for this post US election Sunday. These two books are essential reading and also the reason why the outcome was not a shock to me and actually was exactly what I expected it to be. Both are incredibly well researched and beautifully written.

each morning i don my wizards robes (my oodie) and spend my day studying the texts from a realm not of our own (reading fantasy books)

The flow chart for which Discworld books to start reading.

There's a flow chart!

Writing is still the best thing. The absolutely best thing. I don’t know how to even explain how much it is the best thing.

Yes the world sucks, but at least books exist.

oh this reminds me that i need to finish the first book, thank you!

My writing process is that I don't write, then for a while I write, then frustratingly I don't write again, then I'm old.

first post on here and wow, there's a huge allowance for characters! omg, a whole 300!!

Life is short, a poem by Maggie Smith "Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children.

I'm attempting to reset my emotional state.
I remember and want to share this favorite poem.
For me, it captures the need for hope, in spite of a clear-eyed acceptance of reality.

Books are medicine. Not because they're escapist, but because they're human.

Reading is slowness, and nuance, and discovery—and compassion. It's attention in a world that's trying, at every turn, to distract you.

An author shares the intimacy of her thoughts, and for a moment, we're believers.

Also, folks: when I post word counts, know that I have journalism training and also my brain just runs a little fast. Everyone has their own inherent writing pace. There's no "right" daily pace. Readers don't read word counts. They read stories. Write at the speed that lets you write good stories.

Returning to this passage from All the Pretty Horses a lot this week

pls go re-read all the books you hated in school. i swear once the frontal lobe has developed its a whole new story w/ a wildly different perspective.

you owe it to yourself. go re-read animal farm, 1984, gatsby, night, mockingbird
