I’m so out of the loop. What is itchio and what’s the controversy??

I’ve mostly had cornbread with things like chili or barbecue, not buttermilk and greens. In which case sweetness makes total sense. Regional differences are a thing.

“Tell me about a trans book that is under 300 Pages-“

*starts to raise hand*

“-that is not super depressing.”

*lowers hand, pretending I was just scratching my head*

What can I say? I got a lane 🙃

I looked at my purchases & was saddened to see the creator has disappeared. Their shop is on indefinite hiatus.

It happens a lot. Being constantly moving is a hallmark of a creative person, but it also eats us from the inside.

Lack of support for the arts just compounds everything.

Giving us things we never asked for or wanted and then trying to convince us we need it will go down in history as being the 2010 & 2020s aesthetic mark my words…

And the winner for the best marketing line in 2025 goes to...

-But books are not a visual media (with the exception of comics.) You’re going to HAVE to tell things.

This advice, like most #writing advice, is good for beginner authors but at some point it needs to be broken. Style, pacing, and innovation determines when you do what, not arbitrary “rules.”

I literally just started watching Dr Who in my late 30s this year. I’d only seen an episode or two before (notably the Van Gogh one.)

Fav so far is actually Capaldis. Heaven Sent was a masterpiece.

I created this in #Procreate as a way to sit with it all. Art therapy has been getting me through these especially rough months.

I’ve always used art and writing as a way to cope, but I’m understanding more and how it allows me to identify and learn to process my life and emotions.

Fortunately it’s my high pitch that’s the lost area so far, about 30% of it. But I’m still able to hear speech so the hearing itself isn’t as big a problem day to day than the tinnitus. It’s not exaggerating 24/7, only changing in volume.

That and I just really hope it doesn’t get worse…

The fact that they are a real actual thing still blows my mind. The ocean is ✨WILD✨

I pants the shite out it.

But ALSO, there’s the concept of incubation within the subconscious. Our subconscious mind processes things at a ridiculous rate compared to our conscious mind. Ie, how the best ideas come to you in the shower/while driving.

Pantsing is letting that subconscious mind play

Some of my wildest most gut wrenching stuff was 100% unplanned. It’s so amazing when things come out even you didn’t expect!
