@tcql No one was just good at fiction from jump. Like everything else, you have to be shit at it for a long time until you finally aren't, anymore.
Confession: I wish I were good at writing fiction. It's just a thing I wish I could do. I'd love to throw myself into the Havens shorts I posted last week. I have some ideas.
But I find myself having ideas about interesting moments or concepts, not actual _stories_ or _characters_. It's easy enough to come up with ideas for some things that characters might do, but not who they are.
wow for a moment i gave a fuck and it was really terrifying but it's okay I'm back to nihilism
did I buy nihilis.me? oh.

ATTN TOOT.CAT: my cat cannot meow so she squeaks "boop" instead
So there are, like, video games that play with the fact that you're looking at a screen, or messing with a controller. There are movies or TV that do similar things. Not enough books play with the physical medium they're in (e.g. House of Leaves). It would be cool to have more books not just user paper and ink as an incidental delivery mechanism for ideas, but as a part of the art.
day 4 on mastodon: operation tootboost / snootboop is progressing on schedule
Probably the best thing for me about this place (mastodon) is that after every day with time spent here, I go to bed happy since someone made my day better, and I've hopefully made someone else's day better, as well. I really like that. 😁
On that tone, have a good night, mastodoners? 😀
I'd love to find a Mastodon instance that is purely rated G. Anyone? I want a safe place for my son to type out his fun facts. He can give fun facts for hours on end about history and science. It gives me headaches for a couple hours of that so I figured this would be a good place for him to release his knowledge.
"Will Mastodon make any money?" scream the journalists, who have forgotten the joy of building sandcastles on the beach
Okay, book is finished, cat has wandered off of its own volition. Finally time to get to bed. Catch you all tomorrow 😸
Considered saying 'every time I open a window to toot' but felt that undercut the message 🙃
These follow bots are like flies that slip into the house every time I open the front door to interact with you all on here.
At that point yet again were I could finish this book tonight, but I know I really ought to just go to sleep. But really, how can I be expected to just stop now?
Plus, I have a cat on my lap and it wouldn't be fair to anyone to move right now anyway. Looks like that seals it.
😪
