Skeleton Screens Are Just Gray Lies We Tell Ourselves

Skeleton screens aren’t clever UX anymore—they’re just visual duct tape over slow, bloated apps. In 2025, users see through the shimmering gray lies, and it's time we stop pretending they work. If your site needs skeletons, maybe what it really needs is a faster brain, not a prettier mask.

(17) Do you think about your WIP every waking moment?

Only until I #BurnOut or get distracted (yanked) by something else.

(18) Does your work feature on BookTok? How do you feel about the platform?

Never heard about #BookTok. Searched it. It's no wonder: I don't have #TikTok.

(19) How do you decide on character names?

If #fanfiction, most names are given. Else, one- or two-letter #placeholders until the name reveals itself during writing.
