howl's moving castle by dianna wynne jones

off white: the truth about antisemitism by rachel shabi
yes i'm including non-fiction books too lol i read a lot of both. i'm only a few chapters in and this one's already proving helpful for missteps i've made in talking about this & better ways to approach the topic 👍🏻
revenge: murder in three parts by s.l. lim
dude this book is brutal
big cw child abuse for the quote image. it reminds me of a conversation i had with my editor, who indeed called my character nick 'cartoonishly evil' until i said his dialogue is pulled from real things men have said to me.

i write a lot of very dark stuff but i don't process it as such at the time. then later when i edit it i'm overwhelmed like holy shit these people i created are FUUUUCKED UP can somebody please help them
a lot of the time when i'm writing these days i just say "urgh who would wanna read all this" and my editor aggressively raises her hand with a list of scenes to expand on
oooh it looks promising i'll look into it more later!!!! thank you!!!!!!
my main thing is wanting to sort documents together into one big document of that makes sense?? like all the chapters in separate documents but still bundled together easily
i've been considering swapping to new writing software but it's all expensive with a steep learning curve & poor cross-device syncing or expensive subscription service for a minimalist design without formatting so i guess i'll just continue to suffer through my nightmare combo of gdocs and ms word

this is why i gave up on being a translator after my first translation project, my anxious brain is not made for this many decisions
i didn't create a fantasy language but i have enough opinions about the linguistic attributes of it to get constantly caught in the weeds thinking about how the translation & localisation process would work
WOO happy book royalties day 🎉

love creating characters who have things so deeply wrong with them it baffles the editors
please always remember to be sentimental & genuine & open & vulnerable because this is the only way the change we want to see in this world to happen. cynicism & nihilism contends with the fate of pessimism & individualism, of this "us vs them" mentality. change only happens if we hope it can.
there is no escape from the zag bag
it's rly sweet of ppl on the internet to like her even though she's cold to them and short-tempered when they say dumb shit in her chat!! nobody likes a bitch after all :)
