Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.

I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

When people ask if I'd change anything about a book I've already written, I want to explain to them that I'm not the person who wrote that book any longer, and even if I tried right now I'd write a different one. Everything you make as a writer* is a combination of what you want to say and who you are at the time you are telling that story.

*possibly also as an artist or as a human being

I did not have “tumblr book club forms and reads a classic horror novel delivered via email; immediately begins to roast and fall in love with protagonist” on my 2022 bingo card, but I have to say I am enjoying myself immensely

what jonathan harker's kodak might have looked like

this was the original kodak camera, made in 1888

here's the first folding kodak, released somewhere around 1890

wikipedia asserts that the folding pocket kodak was used in dracula, a smaller camera (more convenient for scouting real estate?). i'm not quite sold--these were released 1897, and dracula itself was published in the may of 1897. also, as far as i can tell, the mention in the may 7 entry doesn't specify anything besides kodak. maybe there's another mention of cameras later? either way, i'm sure the people at wikipedia know better than i do, so!

Annabeth got cast for the Lightning Thief TV show! So in celebration I drew a little thing of Annabeth from the book and Annabeth from the musical cheering her on!

[an-drom-eda]

all right so here's the schedule of when dracula daily will be updated, as gleaned from the archives

please share this, it was a pain in the ass

I want to check interest in a possible project. If I spent the first 23 weeks of 2023 running a newsletter sending out a chapter of Frankenstein a week, for us to weekly Frankenstein like we are running daily dracula, except there aren't any dates. It would just be a chapter a week sent out in order, would anyone be interested? We'd just read it together and fucking meme it like we are Dracula. Just really running with the Tumblr as a book club idea.

I'm right now just checking interest. This would be a lot of work so I'm not doing it if there is zero interest. So some sort of response beyond general likes that can mean anything would be lovely.

Putting this in the Dracula Daily tag. But I also want to tag @thebibliosphere because I feel like Joy is the ticket to making this happen. (Or at least find out if anyone wants it.)

if the pjo tv show should do anything, it should use all the dialogue from the tree on the hill (from the pjo musical). that whole song gave grover so much depth. imagine if you're watching the show and grover says "the tree stands there, protecting us forever. the way... the way i couldn't do for her." i would CRY

discourse about redemption arcs would vastly improve if instead of always asking “is this character redeemable?” people started asking “what message would it send to redeem this character?” and “would it be logical or satisfying on a narrative level to redeem this character?”

[bloodraven55]

also i am begging people to realise that redemption is not the only possible kind of development for a villain. they can progress without it being a positive change. it's so boring and restrictive when the only reaction to a new bad guy is debating “will they be redeemed or not?”
