i'm reading an amazing book on the important of rest ("rest is resistance" by tricia hersey) and one of my favorite quotes go:
"how can we access pleasure, joy, and liberation if we are too tired to experience it?" and "urgency is a myth that preys upon your fears about the future"
"how can we access pleasure, joy, and liberation if we are too tired to experience it?" and "urgency is a myth that preys upon your fears about the future"
the new trend of “do it tired, do it burnt out, do it even when you’re literally dying”
like what is that

Keep writing. Poetry. Shorts. Entire novels. Post it here, on your site or publish it in books.
You never know when your words will resonate with another human in just the way that human needed. We could all do with that just now.
(Same goes for all creatives; keep creating.)

fun fact: during the first draft i did not notice i was writing a romance subplot until my beta readers were like...... they're lesbians, right? and they're flirting? and after re-reading what i wrote, i had to agree with them!!
Since I’m still annoyed about yesterday, tell me about the romance in your book/wip and what it means to you! #WritingPrompt

Today its the 25th of April, and in Italy we celebrate the 80th liberation day!
Sadly the government exploited the death of the pope (5 days of national grieving, the longest ever procaimed) to cover this celebration and suggested more "sober" celebrations, without "chanting and dancing".

thisssss!!!!! and ttrpg are meant to be fun, if “what my character would do” is something that ruins the game for everyone, then it's your fault for writing a character that obviously isn't fit for a PARTY game
Piggybacking on this:
Some people forget that they're playing a game, first and foremost. Most people like seeing others make good choices, or at least ones that lead to an enjoyable payoff.
Doing the opposite is going to be less fun for everyone. It's also where a lot of liveplays go wrong.

Here's your reminder that unless it's a heroic act of self-sacrifice, 'it's what my character would do' is almost always the wrong move.
It's never worth disrupting the game and everyone else's enjoyment to live up to a standard *you created.*

You can’t make everyone happy. But you can be exceedingly confused what you did to upset certain ones
There are certain interpersonal relationships I've had throughout life that just baffle me

Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me that I won't immediately achieve success as an author, get everything I want, and become universally loved?
Are you sure? I was a "gifted" kid in school. Surely that counts for something.

my first novel is dedicated to a person who i no longer speak to; even if our roads separated, i can't forget the almost twenty years of my life we spent together — sometimes it hurts, but the whole point of “fernik” is, after all, that we are shaped by the people we have once loved ♡
