Why is this the first thing I need to see after waking up? Can't we have anything nice anymore?!
Picture of the Danube, with GellΓ©rt Hill in the background with the Citedella on top of it.
A lot of things suck in this country, but the view is not one of those things. I had some time to kill so decided to hang out a bit by the river.
Tell me about it... Mine gifted me with two super weird dreams last night, making me wake up each time feeling like shit. Brains are assholes.
π€£π€£π€£π€£
Me: I have a long day ahead of me, so I'll go to bed in time, have a nice sleep, and wake up refreshed.
My brain: *hold my beer*
*throws two super weird dreams at me, making me feel emotionally drained and not at all rested*
Me in the morning: Thanks for nothing, asshole.
Good morning #writingcommunity!
My insomnia is your gain! I got sick of the scammers targeting authors with their "wow what genre? dm me, i will beta read for u" or "i do illustration, dm me" bullshit, so I made a moderation list.
Feel free to @me whenever you find one to add to the list!
Yikes. A few years back, I was trying my hand at offering beta reading services, which didn't turn out too well for me. I learned I was happier only beta for friends when asked. I'm also shit at marketing myself. Now I have a WIP on my own and would only ask people I absolutely trust to beta for me.

Well, rather you than me π€£π€£π€£
Look, it took me 9 years to catch up with the now 11 book Daniel Faust series. If you wanna take writing Inheritance slow, that's fine by me...
The cover of Dig Two Graves by Craig Schaefer, featuring a retro typewriter surrounded by lights and swirling pages.
11. DIG TWO GRAVES by Craig Schaefer - 5π
I DID IT! I CAUGHT UP WITH THE DANIEL FAUST SERIES! Took me the better part of 9 years (according to GR), but still.
I'm not a fan of horror personally, but this was a fun twist on the tropes spiced up with some heartachy moments and revelations.
The cover of The Shape of Darkness by Laura Purcell. It's a red cover that's decorated with a pattern of yellow scissors. In the middle, there is a silhouette of a woman's head.
10. THE SHAPE OF DARKNESS by Laura Purcell - DNF
This was my first book from Laura Purcell, and it's not like I hated it, because I didn't, I just found myself not being interested in picking it up again. I couldn't tell what made me feel that way, though. Probably wrong book, wrong time π€·π»ββοΈ

February had been...a month. I was forced to slow down, so I couldn't overdo January, but I still managed 2K, so I'll take that. Current wordcount: 23.834. I only have 3 chapters to finish to be done with part 1! My soft deadline atm is the end of April for that.
Right?! If I had to suffer this, then you had, too. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
Ouch. Right in the feels. What have I done to be so rudely attacked on this fine Saturday?!

I mean, this is certainly a way to advertise your shop... This was standing next to a paint/tools/home improvement stuff shop. @mcclungmike.bsky.social unhinged enough?
I really should go out more if you can see random stuff like this all over the city π
I have like 5 things demanding my attention atm, and like a pro, my solution is that I ignore them all. I'm sure this is going to go super well.
Both of them are assholes π€£ Okay, no, I love them. Even if they threaten my sanity.
IT'S NOT MY FAULT, OKAY? THE CHARACTERS WERE DEMANDING IT! And if you think I kid, I swear I tried writing it in past tense but it just wasn't working for whatever reason. Although, as I'm not too far into it yet, I still can make changes.
*makes a note not to tell Eleni about her WIP*
How the fuck is it the end of February already?! I so do not feel like prepping a newsletter, and yet, time demands me to do just that. Rude. But I mean, you could make me feel better about it by signing up. Just saying. And remember, February is my birth month. In case you needed extra incentive.
Uh... feels like a trick question π€ Also, it's not about you lying, it's about me having zero self-confidence π But I'll stop with the self-pity party and get on with things.
Ahaha. Sure. I pretend I believe you.
Oddly, this isn't helping. Now I have doubts π€£ But I already have the first paragraph, so I might as well finish up a draft, then see what you/someone I trust thinks. I'm unsure how unhinged it'll be compared to the stuff the others can come up with tho π
