Hi everybody! I've decided to make a new intro, since I'm rebranding this account!
My name is Friso (he/him), I'm a young writer from the Netherlands and I'll mostly be tweeting about reading/writing. I'd love to be moots :)

Y'know, the best part of the latest #NaNoWriMo fiasco is we've now got writing apps coming out left and right *against* GenAI!
Don't know what took them so long but this was definitely the right moment to do so.

Just got my first ever rejection! 💪I was expecting this one, so it's okay. Wish me luck with the next attempts!

[Friso 🐐 | Fantasy writer @king_hereafter_]

I submitted my manuscript to a publisher*! Now I just need to wait for a few months... Very excited and very nervous, wish me luck! 😬🤞

(*Slight disclaimer: the Dutch publishing industry isn't necessarily the same as elsewhere, which is why I didn't submit it to an agent.)

@Rosetylerswife Currently lying in my hot attic bedroom in my Dutch house without AC :/

Unexpected side effect from following a first aid course: I keep thinking of new ways my characters could get injured 🤔😅

@johngreen I read this and thought "huh, I didn't know Looking for Alaska was so much older than me".
Then I realised I will also be twenty years old, less than a year from now.

I just discovered that one of my poems is now part of a lesson plan? Not only that, but all the other poems are by actual, well-known, published poets? How did this even happen?

I wonder if any students actually ended up reading my poem...

[Friso 🐐 | Fantasy writer @king_hereafter_]

@poetjohncompton Sharing this poem I wrote just in case anyone who speaks Dutch sees it :)

@king_reinhardt I'm 19 and had to google it 😅 the equivalent in my own language did ring a bell though, so I might've been able to guess it based on the context

[Friso 🐐 | Fantasy writer @king_hereafter_]

@StoniAstley No. I just thought of some of the politicians in my country that I despise the most. I definitely wouldn't want to be associated with them. On top of that, my work has a message of tolerance and democracy, and that's not reconcilable with their politics.

[✨🍊 tsu is on bsky @tsurudraws]

what's insane to me is we are seeing, in live time, the loss of writing skills creative skills, research skills, the list goes on

and so many people are just... okay with that? and actively sabotage themselves?

@alliewithbooks Every single adult in the play fails them. A lot of deaths could've been prevented if the adults in the story had looked out for Romeo and Juliet instead of pursuing on their own interests first.

@Erickso_e_n @LeRoyLandUse The cargo bike can do that as well though?

[Friso 🐐 | Fantasy writer @king_hereafter_]

@Jessica_Locke_ I'll never use it. Writing is my passion, I'm not gonna call myself a writer without actually writing. AI is plagiarism and it has a huge negative environmental impact.

[Friso 🐐 | Fantasy writer @king_hereafter_]

@KT_Carlisle I don't think it needs to have a life lesson, but I think a good book should explore some themes and ask questions about those themes. It doesn't necessarily need to provide answers to those questions; you can leave that up to the reader.

[olivia stowell @oliviastowell]

my class is starting in a few weeks, spent the morning writing out my AI policy

@RipleyJNick Ravian was adopted and raised by Count Parzival and Countess Veruna after his father, the king, abandoned him.

[Friso 🐐 | Fantasy writer @king_hereafter_]

@mirna0722 Ravian would love to trade lives with his little sister, Fiona. He misses the feeling of having an older sibling who watches over him and tries to protect his innocence.

[Friso 🐐 | Fantasy writer @king_hereafter_]

@justin_author Ravian's father is the king, which he discovers when he's 16. They have a very strained relationship, which sours when Ravian starts harbouring anti-royalist sentiments...

[Friso 🐐 | Fantasy writer @king_hereafter_]

@iconawrites Agreed! I spend one day a week outside with the Scouts, barely checking my phone all day, and it's so good for my (mental and physical) health to have a hobby where I do something with my hands, without a screen or social media. I'm so glad to have that :)
