Just in time for Valentine’s Day... 💔 

Ready to break up with Google?

So are we!

We’ve rounded up a bunch of privacy-centric alternatives for everything Google.

Fun fact, on top of being staunchly against genAI, ellipsus literally has an Export To AO3 button. I do the majority of my writing in LibreOffice, but I've been moving all my GDocs over to ellipsus for a bit and I really love the interface. If you're looking for an alternative to GDocs, this is The One.

Oh America 💔

I don't normally make political posts but after the last 24 hours I felt had to say something, especially towards those who voted for Kamala Harris.

I'm both heartbroken and angry as fuck for all of you, knowing that the next four years (and beyond) is going to be a real shit show especially for women and the LGBTQIA+ community. You all deserve to live authentic and truthful lives as well as have the freedom to do as you please with your bodies. Yet here we are staring down the barrel of a gun loaded with fascism, racism, homophobia and misogyny to name a few ready to be fired at us come January 2025. I might not be an American, but the decision thats been made today will have repercussions for the entire world and thats terrifying right now. So to anyone who voted for that shitbag... fuck you. You've just turned back the clocks on a lifetime of political and historical decisions that will impact all of us and future generations for decades to come.

If you disagree with my opinion on the US Election results, please unfollow or block me immediately.

Normal fashion posts will resume shortly. 💜

writing tip: every time you want to introduce a new character, ask yourself does the plot really need this... or am i just avoiding my protagonist’s problems

Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.

[audacityinblack]

For general graphics: use GIMP For vector graphics: use Inkscape For drawing and illustration: use Krita For print and web publishing and design: use Penpot For PDF authoring: use LibreOffice For PDF reading and form filling: use Okular

All are free, open source and cross-platform. None use AI.

do you ever find yourself bedeviled by writing ideas that are the equivalent of finding a single carrot in your fridge. your brain goes "we should write a pirate story" or "we should write a parisian thief caper" and you ask, "all right, what do we cook with that, then?" and it says "no other ingredients (:"

The Characters or Plot question is so interesting because depending on the type of story you're working on, even having the most basic plot can become interesting as hell with good characters.

I know not ALL stories are character driven, but they still add that special something.

Maybe it's just my own preference of character to plot (not to say I don't appreciate plot), or it really is just a matter of view, but you can't deny the power it holds

How to write powerful women

Here are my best tips to write powerful women in your novel!

Power doesn’t equal physical strength. Make sure first and foremost that the only reason your powerful woman is powerful is not just that she’s a badass fighter. That can come off quite shallow and stereotypical.

Give her complexity instead. Being powerful doesn’t mean ruthless or emotionless. She should still have a human motivation, and human emotions.

Don’t pit her against other women or have her put down other women with the intent of seeming more powerful.

Power comes in all forms. There is no one type of powerful woman. A woman is powerful because she made herself that way. An emotionally intelligent woman can have just as much power as a physically inclined one.

Strength and power come from persistence, so keep this in mind as you write. How many times has she been knocked down, but remained standing? In other words: work out a good backstory to how she found her power. It often comes from dark places.

This is a big one of my wishes - for women in power to still keep their kindness, despite the cruelty of the world, if it’s what makes them who they are. They shouldn’t have to change for anyone or anything. Real power is remaining true to yourself.
