I hate the way writers have to be influencers now. It’s the single worst thing that has happened to books. Good writers have to waste valuable time making content when they should be writing, bad writers get book deals because they have a lot of followers
influencers have replaced everything. being an actor or a musician or a writer is just treating your work as fodder for sponsored social media posts and brand deals. politicians see their jobs as clip farming. real life is just a content farm for shortform vertical video

Are men maybe too emotional for positions of leadership?

I don't care what anyone says. I was in love with the em dash long before it became associated with AI and you will not pry it from my cold, dead fingers. fight me.

you ever take a break from your wip and in the meantime contemplate how terrible your writing is, only to come back and realise how genius some of it actually is?

How does one write while completely horizontal in bed? Asking for a friend.

unfortunately my nervous system can’t tell the difference between being held at gun point and being asked what my book is about by those i know in real life

im aware that men dont read vs publishers dont make books for men is a bit of a chicken or the egg problem but i do think its significant to note that women have always been open to reading “boy books” but the inverse is not true
Happened to be in Target again and decided to check in on the “Fantasy” section. Unlike last year, any male-centric fantasy is nowhere in sight. It’s all Chick Lit and Booktok slop. Modern publishing hates male readers

What is it about spring that just makes me want to write? Is it the renewal of nature? Is it because I can finally see the sun? Is it the smell of the air? Do you notice you feel encouraged to write during a certain season?

The problem with relying purely on books like the Hunger Games to critique those in power is that men like Elon Musk read the hunger games and think they are Katniss Everdeen
