So my short story wasn’t accepted, but I’m still happy! Even just trying has made me feel more legitimate. Going to create a folder in my emails and collect these rejections!

After a streak of books I did not enjoy, decided to treat myself today; Death of the Author and Tell Me I’m Worthless next on the read list!

Listening to Low Roars final album released last week. What a beautiful piece of posthumous work, must be such a sad and touching time for the band. Definitely worth a listen.

I have been entirely addicted to the first Citizen Sleeper this week. Any one got any book recommendations that hit a similar vibe? Not enjoyed a game this much in a long time!

The Memory of Trees finishes!

⭐️⭐️.25

What started as a very interesting plot about a tree restoration creating supernatural events dwindled out very fast for me.

Some of the worst written women I’ve read in a while, almost every single one talking about wanting to screw the MC non stop

Just realised that "Gene Hackman" is the exact name that Hideo Kojima would give a biochemist

Short story writers, how long do you give your story to 'settle' before you start submitting it for anthologies etc?

I am preparing to make my first submission and resisting the urge to just submit straight away, figure its good to re read after some time to get 'fresh' eyes?

Puppy cuddles and a book - what better way to start a Monday!

Small spoilers for ‘The Memory of Trees’ if you zoom on the text.

Busy weekend with the dog, missed this yesterday!

Authors, if you see this, it’s a sign to post the first line from your book:

“The man lent against the trunk of the tree, near collapsing as he slid down onto the floor.”

Sometimes it’s so hard deciding between reading or writing or gaming that I’ll spend the night in decision paralysis and achieve absolutely nothing 🙃

Writers, you might be struggling rn.

Math might help.

No, seriously.

If you write 300 (around a page) words a day, you will have an 80k book in 267 days. Less than a year.

If it's 200 words, it will take a little more than a year.

Doing it slowly is still doing it. 💪

There is a stiff competition between my search history when running D&D and my search history when writing horror for the title of “reason I’m going to end up arrested” 📚🩸

There is a certain relief when reading a new book and almost immediately vibing with it, especially just after finishing one that was a chore to get through! 📚💙

Think I'm gonna try and start collecting rejection slips this year alongside writing my novel - get some short stories on the go as well!

Heads up to the writing people here: if you are contacted by Lynn Painter this is a scam account trying to sell marketing/editing services. Confirmed with the author that she is not on Bluesky!
