People I dislike are written into characters who die violent deaths.

Impostor syndrome can be bad. Imagine you got invited to speak at the conference for people with IS and your brain is going "What if my IS is not a real IS, I'll be found out and laughed at!"

"Write what you know" is kinda funny as an advice for a sci-fi or fantasy writer. Ah yes, let me quickly recollect all my encounters with drunken gay werewolves and homicidal android sexbots.

My second son watched 500 episodes of Naruto and learned the fabled "ninja run". My first son would prefer Saitama's approach though. Bought some Sailor Moon manga for the daughter too, can't wait to see what she comes up with.

My cat's been very sick lately.

I never thought I would be happy for him getting his asshole attitude back and trying to bite and scratch me again.

I never understood the importance of having a writing group to unleash my drafts upon or just to shoot shit and exchange memes for intellectuals, until I joined the Quaranteam crew.

Lately, it feels like the only place I truly belong.

With another chapter done, it's time to kill some nazis. No, I'm playing Wolfenstein, what did you think? *hides the axe behind his back*

Write sad, lonely, depressed, broken characters. Energetic enthusiasts with sunny disposition. Moody cynical heroes. Cheery dictators. Write urban fantasy, Mythos and postapoc, comedy and smut. Write not because of the eyeballs, prizes or sales. Write because you want to. Everything else is a bonus.
