it is so funny to me how i started learning english on my own age 10 because the manga i was reading was turning so so so bad i went to fan content to cope with how shit it was. and 15 years later this pays off as my boss tells me i'm an essential asset in the team as the only fluent english-speaker.

Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

Oops

woke up this morning, rolled over, and very confidently tried to blow out my alarm clock like a candle. absolutely no precedent for that.

ao3 is crazy because you'll read the most gut-wrenching 200k word slowburn that leaves you sobbing into your sweater at four in the morning and the author will be applejacksmonstercock

why must I work for money? is it not enough to sit quietly in my pajamas, writing fic, deranged ?

Millenials and younger generations watching Endeavour/Inspector Morse and learning his "sad ending" is buying a house, a Jaguar and splitting his estate into three parts in his will all on a normal salary for his time

revising your writing is just like "is this weird. is this a weird sentence. is this the weirdest most poorly-worded sentence ever written by anyone" and the sentence in question is "he walked across the room"

The eight stages of writing :

- this is awesome

- this is slightly less awesome

- this is shit

- I’m shit

-oh god oh fuck what the hell am I doing

-wait this might not be that bad actually

- How the fuck is this working

-This is awesome

Tell me about writing

I’m currently in deep, deep writing dormancy and I don’t know what to do about that. If anyone feels like chatting about your process, would you mind replying here? I’m always super interested in what other people do, and especially what people do when they’re so stuck they don’t even want to write.  

Hope everyone is doing well.  Maybe we can finally see the end of the pandemic from here, with binoculars and a ladder, eh? 

[mudlark2019]

Probably never going to be a writer because of my uncooperative brain!  HOW IS EVERYBODY

[mudlark2019]

Hello friends!

How is everyone?  I’ve had some lovely messages checking on me because I’ve been a bit absent. I’m doing alright, and your concern was really sweet and appreciated. The pandemic has sucked dry all of my creative impulses and replaced them with...anxiety? I’m sure there are many of you who feel the same. Such a weird time. Hugs to all.

Special shout outs to @astridcontramundum and @drusilla-951 for making sure I’m hanging on. I am!  Hope you are both doing well.
