Author of urban fantasy, paranormal thrillers, and dystopian fiction—tales of uncommon heroes dancing on the edge of darkness and light. ❤️‍🔥

[Devin O'Branagan, Author @AuthorDevin]

My dystopian novel was meant to be a cautionary tale—I didn't expect it to be prophetic.

After the fall of democracy, an American family is thrust into the heart of a modern resistance movement.

A powerful tale about standing up to tyranny.

Maturing is realizing they never burned witches. They burned midwives, healers, herbalists, and knowledgeable women.
Women who understood medicine, nature, and their own autonomy. Women whose knowledge threatened patriarchal control. The "witch hunts" were never about magic, they were about silencing women who couldn't be controlled.

Editing isn't just removing words.

It's deciding which moments deserve the reader's attention.

Every cut is also a decision about what matters most.

People on here will ask “Is it too late to start over at 28?” and everyone will reply “Yikes. Hate to break it to you gramps but it was over for you 10 years ago.” Meanwhile my 63 year old neighbor is taking the bar exam because he has a list of pharma companies he plans to sue

“Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny - he or she has something to fulfill, some message that has to be delivered, some work that has to be completed. You are not here accidentally - you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.”

Dialogue is the hardest thing to teach in screenwriting. It’s not just about “subtext”—it’s about what makes characters and scenes interesting.

My best advice: Print your script. Sit in your car in an empty lot. Act out every scene like you’re Jack Black on cocaine.

To everyone still reading physical books in this golden age of screens, instant downloads, and AI, you’re amazing.

Support your local bookstores and libraries.

Blink and you'd miss it. A photographer captured a rare lightning sprite glowing high above a distant thunderstorm over Badlands National Park, a fleeting phenomenon that's visible for only a fraction of a second. ⚡✨

They tested us to see if there would be a revolution. We failed.

Through all the ages poets and artists have often been prophets, because their work, or the material for it, comes to them from the same depths of the collective unconscious in which the major transformations of a particular era are in process of creation.~Marie-Louise von Franz

50% of all homeless people have jobs. 20% of homeless people are children. 10% are veterans. 6% are senior citizens. 14% of college students are homeless. Yet we still call it a housing crisis instead of a moral crisis.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

They want you furious at migrants, trans people, students and protesters so you never look upward at the profiteers, propagandists and politicians emptying your pockets. The culture war is camouflage for class war.

[Mr. Spock 🖖 (Commentary) @SpockResists]

Isn’t it amusing how out of all of the dystopian future movies.

They were no where near as crazy as the actual clusterfuck that is becoming reality.

"A debut thriller that secured a massive seven-figure, two-book deal following a 14-way auction was pulled by [its agents] after readers and reviewers flagged telltale stylistic hallmarks of artificial intelligence."

The horrors persist.

The re-writing of history regarding COVID has got to be especially awful for people who lost relatives to that horrible disease.

I get blown away every time I read this paragraph by Carl Jung:

“To love someone else is easy, but to love what you are, the thing that is yourself, is just as if you were embracing a glowing red-hot iron: it burns into you and that is very painful. Therefore, to love somebody else in the first place is always an escape which we all hope for, and we all enjoy it when we are capable of it. But in the long run, it comes back on us. You cannot stay away from yourself forever, you have to return, have to come to that experiment, to know whether you really can love. That is the question-whether you can love yourself, and that will be the test.”

[Poetic Outlaws @OutlawsPoetic]

“Everybody has a superficial side and a deep side, but this culture doesn’t place much value on depth — we don’t have shamans or soothsayers, and depth isn’t encouraged or understood.

Surrounded by this shallow, glossy society we develop a shallow side, too, and we become attracted to fluff.

That’s reflected in the fact that this culture sets up an addiction to romance based on insecurity — the uncertainty of whether or not you’re truly united with the object of your obsession is the rush people get hooked on...”
