The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

#so fucking true it hurts #why am I turning into my privacy obsessed uncle who refused to give facebook his name and insists on paying for everything in cash #technology #getting older

The problem with having OCs is that sometimes you wanna read about your little guy being in situations but unfortunately he is YOUR little guy and no one is gonna put him in that situation but you. Tragic.

#YEP.#also true of my favourite minor characters #Sylvia and Nerys my venomous darlings no one else will drag you into the spotlight like me #yes that is a challenge—FLY MY PRETTIES #writing

Stop writing your extrovert as someone who never shuts up and is exhausting to be around. That's a bad extrovert, not extroversion. A well-written extrovert thinks out loud, they don't know what they feel until they're saying it to someone. They use conversation to process. What looks like oversharing is actually them figuring themselves out in real time. They need the other person there not to listen but to exist. The other person being in the room is what makes the thought happen. Write that. It's fascinating.

#hm #by that measure I might be an extrovert? which—big if true #extroversion #writing

How it feels watching your tumblr mutuals engage in discourse about fandoms you've never heard of

"bro. I’m fucking cooking here I swear"

yanno what? bro, I WAS fucking cooking. I swore.

#this was Dress Rehearsal fyi lmao #THAT was a stroke of genius that had me sitting up in bed at midnight and turning my lamp back on to write it down lest I forget #writing #fic #outlines #moi

A new option for anyone with a veeeeery long doc or complicated outline (and no desire to look at all of it at once) -

Collapsible headers!

Turn them on in your Editor settings (Toggle headings), then click / tap the arrow beside any H1–H4 header to tuck that section away, safe and sound.

When you create a new header, just hit Enter, and it’ll become collapsible too.

Collapsible headers work in both the editor and on Reader links, so you can use them while writing, outlining, and editing; or to help your readers stay focused on one section at a time. We particularly love them for temporarily pretending the previous 86,491 words in a doc don’t exist (at least, not until the editing phase). 🙂‍↔️

Free for all, woohoo!

And another smol but mighty update this week: You can now change the email address associated with your account directly from your Settings page.

Just enter the new address via Change email under Account details. Done n' done!

New Chapter!

It's happened. It's official. The final chapter of "Stitches in Time" is posted. I cannot BELIEVE this started out as a quick tongue-in-cheek Valentine's Day, 5k one-shot. And now it July and I'm finally posting the final chapter. This has been a delightful piece filled with strange ups and downs and some of the oddest subject matter I could imagine. Seriously. I cannot explain how ridiculous it is that I wrote this.

It's humor. It's pain. It's banter. It's frustration. There is family and grief and suffering and laughter and friendship and snakes? Seriously: invisible snakes. And a jumper that defies explanation.

If you haven't already, now that it's finished, you may as well give it a try. I promise some part of it will bring a smile to your face or touch a string in your heart.

Stitches in Time, Chapter 9: Everyone Needs A Friend
