$Bea’s hand reached upwards to rest on his chest, the beat of his—her—fractured heart a dull pounding against her palm. “I don’t want to do it without you. I don’t want to leave you behind.” “You won’t,” he said, placing his red hand over hers. “Sure, these ugly horns will remain, but so will your heart, and I’d like to see the bastards try to take that from me.”$

waking up with an incredible urge to write and then having to sign on to your computer for other 9-5 tasks is very disappointing

Imagining it's Raptcha, and somewhere an angel is trying to raise a mortal soul to heaven but has been stopped, looking with its countless impossible eyes at a pic asking the angel to first select all the squares that contain Motorcycles.

oh hey, i forgot last week was the 1 year anniversary since i started querying

I don’t regret trying my hand at querying. Not only have i learned an important lesson in patience, I really do believe its strengthened my ability as a writer to receive and utilize feedback

“This movie’s brought to you with limited interruptions.”

Wow really you’re limiting the interruptions that’s so cool of you I mean originally the service I paid for had no interruptions which arbitrarily changed while the price of that service has increased several times since but no, thanks a lot

i am so happy tiktok wasn’t a thing when i first started writing

the pressure of posting to social media and being vulnerable with your craft is enough as it is NOW ten years into this. i couldn’t imagine being a bright eyed baby author and suffering the horrors that is a tiktok comment section

SM BUSH 🇨🇦📚 @smbushwriter.bsky.social · Aug 26
