Don’t get me started…
Doing light editing on a new book chapter today, and I reminded myself about this take by the American poet Robert Creeley. While a comment on poetry, this holds for prose too, me thinks.

It’s not like I didn’t already think this situation was really fucking bad, but I was beginning to think it was way fucking worse.

What you did today was hard. When you’re hurt, hurting others is easy. It takes strength to choose not to.
When life has not treated you with kindness, doing the right thing anyway always takes strength...
...when you can even tell what the right thing is.

Aspiring authors, I’m here to help. Do you have any writing-related questions or dilemmas I can answer? Maybe you just need encouragement or a kick in the pants? Ask away…

Hello there, Bsky! I need to find a writers' group. Writing in a vacuum feels untenable. I mostly write #sci-fi.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

“Why are men afraid of women?”
“If your strength is only the other's weakness, you live in fear,” Ged said.
“Yes; but women seem to fear their own strength, to be afraid of themselves.”
“Are they ever taught to trust themselves?” Ged asked
“No,” she said.
