now over halfway through my reread, lots of mixed emotions about this project because of how much work it still needs, but it's important to remember the scenes that hold up when you revisit them
Petition to start calling 2020-present "the great plague" because I think it will quickly convey a lot of meaning. Similar to how we categorise ww1 and ww2.
I've made a uquiz for my Illuminae x Amazing Race space opera wip because it's the one with an ensemble cast of actually likeable characters uquiz.com/rKzBHc, pls reply with your result because I am intrigued to know more about y'all 🥰 (inspired by @camiscribbles )

coming to terms with the fact I am a really slow drafter - and while it's demotivating to see many other writers smashing out a whole first draft in a month or two that just doesn't work for me and I need to accept that my process is different

hitting the point in my life where I no longer want to write fun fantasy adventure books and it seems like everything I write is a tragedy or centres the villain as the narrator - it just seems like time

Made my first #TikTok with #ScrivenerTips! It's about how to organize scenes into chapters fast! Link in bio More to come like how to use folder targets & how to import your project from Word-FAST! If you have #Scrivener questions, pop them below. Maybe I can help with a video!

A bi-erasure poem made of responses from family & friends who felt entitled to have an opinion about who I’m attracted to. I collected them over the years (don’t know why) and covered the most hurtful words in purple just cause I can 💜

writing is eternally drafting good act 1s then struggling to find what end you're writing towards once you've set things up

With the #Pitchwars showcase coming up, I've been thinking a lot about agents. We always talk about 'vetting.' I wrote a (long) post about what that means. I'm sure some will disagree with parts. Hopefully not enough to come for me with pitchforks. michaelmammay.com/blog/what-…
