Possibly the greatest NPR exchange ever recorded

Thank you, roomie <3 <3 <3

The bad news is: no new chapter this week.

The good news is: it’s because I finished my thesis this week and I’m OFFICIALLY graduating with my MFA~

So I’ll have more free time in the coming weeks to write more!

anti-fatness is not just body shaming.

anti-fatness is discrimination. anti-fatness is having next to no legal protections for being discriminated against. anti-fatness is being denied housing, jobs, receiving less pay and promotions (legally) because of your size. anti-fatness is being denied access to clothing, seating, transportation, and other human rights because infrastructure has been designed to exclude you. anti-fatness is less likelihood of receiving a fair trial. anti-fatness is dehumanization. anti-fatness is being denied necessary surgeries, but not surgery that amputates the digestive tract with the intent to starve and shrink you (it doesn’t work either). anti-fatness is mutilation. anti-fatness is being subject to torture devices that bolt your mouth shut. anti-fatness is being told by close friends, family, and professionals that you are better off living with an eating disorder or other life-threatening illness. anti-fatness sells you starvation as a guaranteed opt-out of oppression, but doesn’t tell you that bodies will always regain weight to survive. anti-fatness blames and punishes you for failing at an achievement that is quite literally impossible. anti-fatness is a $90 billion dollar industry. anti-fatness is being denied gender-affirming care. anti-fatness is being barred from in vitro fertilization and reproductive healthcare. anti-fatness is being barred from adopting children. anti-fatness is being removed from your loving parents because they couldn’t make you thin. anti-fatness is intentionally starving your own baby so they won’t get fat. anti-fatness is disproportionately high suicide rates. anti-fatness is being killed at the hands of medical neglect and mistreatment. anti-fatness is the world preferring a dead body over a fat one.

The bitter reality that the entire world is living is that the media and social media outlets all focus on trivialities and matters that are not important in order to hide the truth of what is happening on the ground in Palestine and Gaza. Just a short video of a little girl crying because she heard a sad song has garnered millions of views, while what is happening in Gaza is not of interest to anyone.

Can’t believe I’m getting a new Halestorm and Ethel Cain album on the same day. I can’t wait to be possessed by something deeply unholy as I listen to them back to back 🥰🥰🥰

New 'A Pride of Wolves' chapter~

[kallypsowrites]

Hi! I just finished rereading AWAL (again) and I am excited to start APOW, and I want to say thank you for being a writer because I am literally so blessed to have read your stories! How do you find the motivation to keep going and not be hindered by writer's block?

Hey thank you so much!

So this is an interesting question for AWAL vs APOW in particular because the answer is very different.

I simply never had writer's block while I was writing A Wolf Amongst Lions. I updated twice a week, every week for about a year and never missed an update. This is not because I have the magic formula for beating writer's block. I was just so deeply hyperfixated that my brain was submerged in dopamine at all times. I don't think I have hyperfixated on a project in that way since. That was truly something.

There were definitely scattered moments of writer's block as I was writing/scenes that were difficult but my looming posting deadlines always kept me barreling through to the finish. So I guess in the AWAL case 'deadlines' are my answer. When I feel pressured to deliver on a promise, I will buckle down and do it.

A Pride of Wolves is different. I am not hyperfixated on Game of Thrones like I was when I wrote AWAL, but I still love the project and enjoy writing it. It's much harder to write than AWAL because it has more POVs and a lot more shit going on so it's harder to balance. I've had to revisit my outline multiple times to tinker with it and keep the momentum of the story going.

Most often when I'm blocked, I'll do one of the following:

1) Revisit the outline. Make sure everything is working the way I want it to. This helps me with my other strategies.

2) Listen to music and imagine future scenes~ This is best when paired with a walk.

3) Write a future scene that I'm excited about in order to get my momentum going.

4) If I'm blocked on how to start a scene, I'll skip ahead to the first moment of the scene that is clear in my mind and write that. Then I'll work backwards to get to that moment. This is my most common trick. I might skip to the middle of a scene. I might even skip to the end of a scene. It's much easier to write the beginning of a scene if I can get eyes on my destination.

At the end of the day, if I'm really, REALLY blocked, I'm not afraid to tell my followers that I'm taking a week off and coming back fresh next week. Sometimes i just have other projects that take priority and I have to set the fic to the side.

Hi. If you like gay toxic and codependent, may I interest you in V.E Schwab books? I think you would love Vicious and Bury our bones in the midnight soil.

Big fan of V.E Schwab! I’ve read Vicious and am excited to get to Bury our Bones!
