I haven't written poetry in years and years. Are the genres you stopped writing? Does it make you feel bad, ever?

Isn't it sad when people don't read?

Do you write better in the mornings? At nights? Or at 3AM scribbling your fifty page manifesto to the HOA about hedge-to-house ratio requirements?

Is there a piece of writing that you think is trash, but many others might like? For me it's The Pitt. It's telly, ham-fisted, and dare I say maudlin.

That's still a frightening amount of people who support this

That's a tough line, isn't it? When to keep working on something, and when to decide it's done.

Abolish ICE. They're disgusting. They're fucking disgusting.

Star Trek DS9 was better than TNG. Sisco was better than Picard. Kira Nerys was better than Will Riker. It's true. They had more depth. More humanity.

Just finished writing a 90,000+ word novel, took me about six months. I don't talk about myself much, but I'm pretty proud of this one.

How hard are you on yourself when it comes to your writing? Are you a perfectionist?

Is there a genre you'd like to write, but don't feel comfortable enough doing so?

How often do you back up your writing? Did this post just scare the bones out of your body?

How long can you write for at one time, no breaks, no scrolling, just non-stop writing? An hour? Two? More? Less?

How many words have you written in your current WIP? Thoughts on how many it might be when finished?

When relaxing, do you ever "double screen?" Like, a TV and also a laptop/phone/tablet? I gave it up and it was really hard. Curious if others had.

What distracts you most when you are trying to write? Doom-scrolling? A particular site/app? An anxiety?

Besides using AI, what nauseates you the most about modern writing trends?

Does something odd influence your writing? True crime cases from the 1970s? Industrial art? Landscapes?

Are you ever embarrassed by your writing? Or do you think it all contributes to growth?

Sometimes I think my really bad stuff is just bad.

Idea: People who use AI to generate their novels should stop saying "written by," and instead say, "assembled by."

They are bigoted, extrajudicial, and their cruelty is the point. That's about all I can assure anyone when it comes to ICE, these days

Should sci-fi use science as a springboard to ask difficult ethical/philosophical questions, a la Star Trek, or look cool and make lasers, a la Star Wars?
