I let Pride Month slip me by without saying it, but I'll go for it anyways...

Gonna try out he/she pronouns on my socials going forward.

Better late than never, as they say.

We write because the night sky is too quiet for all the things we want to say. So we spill galaxies onto pages and call it storytelling.

the ability to say "i dont have a tiktok" in social situations makes me feel so powerful. like the general reaction is "shock, confusion, then this weird 'thats probably a good thing' response" its so fun

STOP! before you make an extreme decision or take drastic action of some kind, think about SIFFRIN

are you:

S - sick?

I - indignant?

F - fatigued?

F - famished?

R - resentful of anyone trying to help you, even loved ones?

I - in a state of distress?

N - needing a hug?

if you answered yes to one or more of the above, fix that and then get back to your big decision!

Earlier I thought the phrase "un-pre-fucking-dictable" and that got me thinking...

Is it just me, or does that have a better ring to it than "un-fucking-predictable"? Like, I understand that putting the "fucking" between the prefix and main body of the word makes more sense grammatically, as seen in "un-fucking-believable," but that just brings to mind "un-be-fucking-lievable," and not gonna lie, I think that has a nice ring to it too, even if it does cut up the word.

At the very least I'd argue it's funnier and less predictable to do it that way with "unpredictable," but I do think it just generally feels better to say it that way even without that context...

"Un-con-fucking-ceivable..."

"Un-em-fucking-ployed..."

"Un-com-fucking-fortable..."

YOU ARE NOT ALONE, MY FRIEND, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME I FEEL THAT NEITHER AM I!

Seriously so much of what I do is just daydreaming and fucking around until I'm possessed by the spirit(s) of one or more characters having A Moment™, then writing all of it down ASAP before it leaves my brain.

"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.

Some writing advice that likely won't resonate with the whole, but certainly will for a few:

It's okay to do minor edits as you go.

Some of us are control freaks who can't move on until it's fixed.
