I'm a person. Weird, I know, but I got identity issues so I don't want ppl to look at me.

I'm serious about writing. I wanna talk about the craft, the struggle, and share works. Some reviews would be great.

Say hi. Tell me what you like about your writing.

I was mostly listening to this mix to get in that headspace. So I guess it would theoretically be sung over something like this.

Found out about this HIT EM move from @TabulaRasaRcrds based on a dream by @DDDrewDaniel

Thought I'd try writing lyrics. I named it "High Intensity Technical Electronica Music" because that's what I think "hit em" stands for. Thanks for the inspiration.

@indiebookp @BookSpotlight Yeah for sure.

The unnuanced Facebook posts of yesterday have become the hour long video essays of today.

Really fun reading of my work by @KirkpattieCake
The story "Capturing a Butterfly" can be heard at 58:20.
If you have 6 minutes give it a listen.

I had a lot of fun with this story and enjoyed the opportunity to share my work. Thanks!

@KirkpattieCake So the younger needs to build a mask and the elder hops about like a crow stirring mischief.
That sounds like a fun dynamic! Are they out in the world of print?

@KirkpattieCake Context?

Three weeks and 83000 words later I have another rough draft for a novel!

I wonder I'd tradpub is interested in smut heavy nice guy x bad girl that follows him accepting his sadism. Your thoughts #WritingCommunity

[ASH Novelist @ASHNovelist]

other people wonder
but I know I'm garbage
trash that needs to be crushed
a waste of a brain
a life with excess blood
I yearn to serve penance
for the fate I stole

I'm feeling uncertain about #poetry so I wrote three versions of the same #poem. The poems are all listed in sequence.
"stubborn vine"
"starless vine"
"surviving vine"

#WritingCommunity #poets #poetrylovers let me know which version you prefer and why.

Do people actually like slow bake cinnamon roll romance?

[ASH Novelist @ASHNovelist]

@angie3tomatoes The fantasy to ressert power in a relationship while getting everything wanted.

My favorite love trope is enemies AND lovers. No redemption just conflict and lust until the violent end. I've yet to read it. I may have to write it.

[ASH Novelist @ASHNovelist]

Babel by R F Kuang opens with a child surrounded by death and I felt absolutely nothing. I don't know if this book is gonna work for me.

Does the writing get more emotional?

Does the world building get more expansive?

"without scabs" might be a little hard for some readers. Please consider your mental state before reading as the #poem deals with violence and domestic abuse.

“I’ll be gentle. Right up until the moment I’m not.”

“And then?”

“And then you’ll panic and you’ll want to scream but you can’t and it’s like your entire body is waiting for me to end you…”

Sky of gray steel gobbles the sun
I shut my lids to hide from sin
No escape,it’s far from done
Metallic mist slithers over skin
Into pores,into my core
Attacking me from within

I think we all foster the vampire dream somewhere inside our minds.
For nearly ten years, I haven’t seriously thought about being a vampire.
I had believed that my desire to be a vampire had faded into memories.
I had never been so wrong.
