Jugnuma is a lush, warm hug of a movie that fully draws you into its magical realist world. A bit slow, but extremely worth your time.

Hugo noms are open, and I'd love to put forth "Be Kind and Rewind" for your consideration.

One year ago, on Valentine's day, Wyngraf published a story about queer/trans love that I coauthored with my lovely partner @kaitlinschmidt4.bsky.social. I'm a hack, but she made our story brilliant anyway.

There will be a point in this movie where the narm may cause you to physically cringe. Power through.

Hugo noms are open. I have one story eligible. Please consider it if you enjoy pirates and/or necromancy and/or indian history and/or romance

(Or even just read it. I think it's pretty good.)

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)

Not gonna link the thread, because it's embarrassingly flattering, but specifics of it have led to thoughts.

I absolutely believe that things come out "around the words" in your writing. Tiny details of word choice convey things.

Hey folks!

Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

FIRST PAGE

 It’s a beautiful night to die. The lights of Chang’E City shine over the water, glinting like shattered glass. From her position on the watchtower, Fay Soon can see everything. Her eyes turn, trying to stay cool as they scan the sprawling streets, the steel towers, the crystalline lights that weave through the metropolis like veins. It’s almost commendable how hard she’s trying to maintain her composure. As if this is still an equation that can be solved, rudimentary as the mathematical problems she learnt in elementary school: if 4x = 16, find x.

But if things were so simple she wouldn’t be standing here, body tautened like a coiled wire. Her heart wouldn’t be beating hard enough to fracture her ribs. And on her right, wouldn’t lie the endless, insurmountable drop of the edge.

quote from Haruki Murakami: β€œI keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.

β€œBut to hold to such repetition for so longβ€”six months to a yearβ€”requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine
