On the first day I start writing again, I write poorly.
Then I remember how to write.
Without writing poorly, first, you would never write at all

Still quite holds up
What's the home planet of the most romantic individuals among the Transformers?
It's Bridgertron, of course!

I'm zeroposting on Facebook/Instagram, canceled X and I never even really started here.
Looks like I must not fear of even becoming an influencer
Thank you!
Is it in the same universe as The Expanse, or a different one? (Just to decide where to put it in my reading list)
Just learned that there is a "Mando and Grogu" trailer already out. Having been a SW geek all my life, and my first published book being an essay on SW, I think it's quite telling how little hype there is about #starwars now
Cool! I'm an ocean away but it looks like a great event!
Found an interesting article, a satire, on IG.
It linked to a full article on a website, and I reached it through "link in bio".
But the full article wasn't there. I link asked me to subscribe on Substack. I have too many unread newsletters, so I clicked on "read anyway".
The article wasn't there
Interesting!

So what? Just paranoia and fear of the future for us?
Maybe not.
Let's love, and live, aware of where our heart is.
Where understanding and peace is, with sharing and empathy.
Against every new trick the corrupted parts of power can come up with, just because it's us, our feelings, our hope

My grandparents were children during WWII. I know, from them, that you live, and love, and have children, anyway.
I do wish we lived during simpler times--if not for us, for our daughter.
But I'm also aware that our illusion of stability was, indeed, an illusion.
A good reason to find you on BlueSky, sir ;)

I'm a #MarvelCinematicUniverse fan, yet I just found out there is a cameo of two very prominent Marvel animated characters from the early '90 in "X-Men'94". Makes me wonder if nowaday's unstable success of the MCU is also due to original fans getting older and not having as much free time and focus
Well, if Brandon Sanderson has been working for years on a Mistborn movie, and keeps having Hollywood people telling him to do a 40M Kickstarter campaign, I guess I can survive having ad a story of mine not even qualifying at a contest.

Yesterday I sold my first story in almost a year. Total story sales amounts to 29 now, still I had forgot how it feels.
Today, we toast!

Have you already supported @locusmag.bsky.social and its crowdfunding on Indiegogo? Time is running out and I'm checking--again--the many awesome rewards!
Let's put it this way: do you prefer when a conflict is resolved in a realistic but boring way (ie, tragic death), or an inventive one that requires some extra suspension of disbelief?

Love "Black Mirror", this season, too, for how sharply it finds the more painful tech-related ideas and brings them to life.
Still hate it, because most of its scripts don't even try to solve the main conflict.
Speculative fiction is about possibility!
