Cover of the War of the End of the World

My favorite novel from the recently deceased Mario Vargas Llosa. (I always interpreted it as a cryptic commentary on authoritarianism). #booksky #writingcommunity #amreading

There's only two ways to do it: either think before you write, or write before you think. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writingsky

Untitled Painting

Just like artists draw from reference images, I also write from reference images. Today, I'll be writing to Untitled by Leonora Carrington (1960). #writingcommunity #writingsky #amwriting

It's so cool that most writers I know can do other forms of art as well, like painting or music.

When I was younger, I could only write one thing at a time. These days, though, I'm not satisfied unless I'm writing five or six books at the same time. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writingsky

After spending a few hours reading AI-generated art, I've decided that artists definitely don't understand how to properly use AI yet. #writingcommunity #amreading #writingsky

Sometimes the same work takes me to the Middle Ages and Ancient Egypt at the same time.

When I'm stuck on a creative story, I try writing an essay or something expository. (This allows to practice writing without always being original). #writingcommunity #writingsky #amwriting
