Always had an interest in sci-fi, I mean speculative fiction... actually do I mean sci-fi, pulp space fantasy.
Would like to write more shorts dealing with aliens etc... except it's hard to come up with alien names. They always sound naff, but I can't call a guy with tentacles for a face "Gary" can I?
I guess I could if his real name would be unpronounceable with human vocal chords and they anglicise their names to make themselves more appealing to human society, but that seems like a cop-out.
I love that we’re two women shaving each other’s heads,
I’m plucking hair off my face and she’s painting her lids gold, I love it.
I love every burn, sting and scrape.
It feels like sisterhood, like survival, like playing a game we’ve been taught
when we were too young.
But damn,
we play it so well now."
— Bargain Bin Beauty Bonding.
A poem I wrote 3 ish years ago, really I don't need to rewrite it, but it needs a rework.
Got a story I'm working on that deals with issues from my childhood. Not sure what is worse, fear of writers block or fear of kicking a latent hornets nest of buried traumas.
"Write about what you know", they say. How do you cope if what you need to write about is your own pain?
Anyone got any experience of that?
Can anyone recommend existing books dealing with writing about personal abuse etc?
Dear #gamedevs
Quit putting saved game folders in the Windows documents folder. It's created a mess.
%appdata% or Saved Games folders. They exist for a reason.
Like others, I moved here from mastodon.social to get a smaller more writing orientated community and a server that responds quicker than a sloth on diazepam.
I've been a struggling writer for many years, hoping now to actually finish some works and get them out there while there are still some readers left in the world.
