From The Stardust of Failure:
"I’d been thinking about racehorses, what they’re bred for and expended for, which resulted in a bit loosely inspired by Eight Belles, the filly who came in second at the Kentucky Derby and died trying, her racing spirit foiled by glass ankles."

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It's been decades since my first reading of it, but I still cherish The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. When I was younger the plight of Waverly Jong as a child chess prodigy spoke to me most, but as I got older and experienced more, I found meaning in different aspects of all the characters.

David keeps score of a long list of people he wouldn't piss on if they were on fire. He is a verified hater on social media and on his podcast, and wouldn't be above encouraging fans to brigade someone and calling that a win.

How does your MC feel about revenge? Is there anybody they want to take out? Do they think it would be satisfactory? #WritingPrompt

It's just an approach that's never worked for me. Sometimes I just need to put the manuscript away and touch some grass, y'know? Back when I was in an informal writing circle (on LJ) I watched friends struggle with daily word count and it seemed like self-inflicted pain.

I love The Master by Colm Tóibín, both as a examination of a writer and his artistic process and as a fascinating portrait of self-concealment and self-denial. It's very much a mid-00s work, able at last to say "Yo, dude's closeted" of a historical figure but still itself...bound.

The Constant Rabbit Biscuits were an industrial eco-punk band formed in post-COVID Milton Keynes.
After a change in management the band restyled themselves Constant Rabbit Bizkit and wrote the soundtrack to the 2027 movie Neurotypocalypse.

#Writevember WIP update: I made some very small edits to deal with repetitive word choice in a few key places.
As to what inspired my WIP, Fiore della Morte (Butterfly on a Wheel plus the upcoming The Stardust of Failure) were inspired by the sagas of my favorite rock bands of the 60s/70s. :)

My reading was utterly unmonitored; I started reading history books in earnest around age 9 and quickly learned all the naughty parts were in French. Then I started on novels like The Joy Luck Club and learned more... interesting things. Wasn't scarred but *was* too young for it all.

Definitely a tie between Graham Percy's illustrations for The Fantastic Flying Journey by Gerard Durrell and anything Tasha Tudor ever did (The Secret Garden, Rumer Godden's dollhouse books, etc). So evocative, so charming... just a perfect companion to the words on the page.
