Brave, visionary and queer: the Bohemian brilliance of author George Sand With her radical politics and flamboyant affairs, Sand was no stranger to controversy, but it’s time to debunk the myths surrounding a writer ahead of her time

Brave, visionary and queer: the author George Sand www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

Welcoming wildflowers of this world.
Climbers with tenancious tendrils, oblivious to the oppressive heat.
Creeping capriciously up slippery black pole-
leaving trail of crescent moon footholds.

Another #shortstory for my new collection. “Serial Killer City”. When a hitman botches a hit, a price goes on his head as he tries to get out the city. #wtiting #writingcommunity #prose

Random Thought...

If the corporations are going to push soulless #AI into #wtiting spaces, then we must respond by putting as much soul as possible into our work.

I didn't get a lot written yesterday because of worrying over Leia. Today? I managed to get my word count and pass 72k, but I'm exhausted and struggling to get more. So I think it's time to put away the writing and just read for a bit. #writer #wtiting

A preview. So you can see what you're getting.

At the top, there is a post by @wishbone-words. The caption says, "Me, with a fully planned and outlined wip: okay, it's time to start writing, do not ruin this. Do not get distracted. You got this. The half-baked, vague idea I've had in my head for months, unnamed and unclear but persistent:" The image below the caption is showing Tom of Tom and Jerry sneaking through a door with an evil grin.

I have a project to write with a writing partner. God knows I hope I don't get distracted when I do. 6k words isn't a lot when you're used to writing full novels.

While writing a scene from my logbook the other day, I caught myself just telling the reader that my young rabbits used their gravitational powers for play. I had to stop and leave myself a note: make this tangible. (1/3)

English is such a rich language.

I develop ever further appreciation of it with each passing paragraph.

Approaching the wormhole, nervousness scaled my exoskeleton. 'Course, I knew the risk of taking such a mission. Our dying star system was far from any other celestial bodies. A wormhole though; nothing ever really comes out of it.

How to Write Usefully

“Useful writing is bold, but true,” writes technologist Paul Graham. “It's also two other things: it tells people something important, and that at least some of them didn't already know” #wtiting paulgraham.com/useful.html?...

I need to go write some more, but there's a lump at my feet holding me down and warming my feet.

What makes your character happy?
For Jokull, seeing others he loves being happy also makes him feel good. Having a mission go smoothly for once would also make him happy but that is not how things are.

Tempting Fate - Chapter 2 - skysedge - 刀剣乱舞 | Touken Ranbu [Archive of Our Own] An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Kuri reaches up and takes hold of one of his hands and his words dissolve into a humiliating whimper. He feels like a kid again, like a virgin, like someone who hasn’t yet realised that ‘love’ is just a word and nothing is forever.

#fanfic #tkrb #wtiting

I think I might be writing another novel (or novella) even though I’m supposed to be editing another finished one and was about 100 pages into a new novel besides that.

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Pie chart of the writing process.

Cleaning out my folders and found this.
#wtiting #writingcommunity

I have an idea for a superhero comic but in what might be Dunning-Kruger running in reverse, I have done little to set down more than some broad strokes because I am acutely aware of how much I DON’T know about producing a comic, beginning with how to find an artist/collaborator. #wtiting #comics

Who still knows how to write by hand? Has the act of writing with paper and pen died?
