26.12.2024 04:40 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Years ago someone told a friend I'd never sell a novel; they said that two days before I got my first novel contract. Just today I saw someone saying that I'm not that good of a writer, which, okay, but I'm contracted for 16 more books, so I guess I'll keep at it.
So, yeah: Fuck 'em. Do your thing.

Not every DM, or system, or group, or story, or setting, or style, or priorities will be to your liking.
Others will like it.
Let them.
Bashing other people's joy is despicable.
Can I just say, "Sorry....HIPAA," when people ask me why I can't do something? Most of the population doesn't even know what it does anyhow. π€£

The notion of a "Bluesky Elder" is vaguely ridiculous but the ONE THING that we oldheads are good for is telling the new folks that blocking without engagement is praxis, and encouraging them to do it early and often.

To reframe what I do as an artist to being a content creator is something the internet has been pushing for a while and I just refuse to give into it or allow my life to become that
Lili also finds this appallingly cruel (/lighthearted). I had to remind her 3 times it was 2 hours early last night, after which she screamed at the closet door & then hopped up her tower to look out the window & immediately calmed down. (/amused)

I know critics want depth and uncomfortable relatability, but "dude just wants wealth and power, and is willing to step on others to get it" might be the most relevant to reality villains in existence.
