New post up on Blue Violet, my Substack. It’s not just about Barbie tho “Barbie was one of my earliest influences, her plastic proportioned body dressed and undressed in my hands, where I learned what arms, breasts, stomach, and thighs were supposed to look like.”

Thank you, Matt. I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. It sounds debilitating. I have so much admiration and respect that you’ve been managing it for 8 years ♥️ I have not figured out what’s going on yet, but I’m trying to stay hopeful for answers while also adapting as best I can.

New post up today with beginning contemplations on chronic illness and weight loss. I hope these writings help at least a few people feel less overwhelmed and alone in their own bodies, and I’d love to talk about it in the comments or 1:1.

Good advice for getting out of a writing rut.

Stephanie King @stephstephking.bsky.social · Feb 16

Write something COMPLETELY different. If you're stuck on fiction, write an essay. If you're trying to write sci-fi, write historical fiction.

If it's good, you've greased the wheels and gotten your brain moving; if it's bad, so what bc it's not what you were trying to write anyway

I've found that consistently being in writing spaces is really helpful. Workshops, writing groups, etc.

Self-promotion thread.

What work of yours do you want to promote?

It doesn't have to be commercial. If you've painted something or done some interesting needlepoint, that counts too.

(If you don't create, post something you've enjoyed)
