open.substack.com/pub/musesupp... I wish this was a sure-fire guide on how to have fun. Sadly, it's not. But hey, it's a start
This is based on the assumption that if you take the huge leap, then somehow a sort of divine justice will grant you success and recognition. Doesn't happen. The market won't magically recognize your worth if you starve yourself. If anything you'll just make yourself more vulnerable.
Just saw the WORST advice to give on a general level, which is to just quit your day job, willy-nilly, to become a writer. The suggestion was to let yourself go feral/get backed into a corner and figure it out. And oh my god,can we just KILL the idea that one has to struggle/starve to make art? No.

musesupport.substack.com/p/are-short-... I have the bad vice of asking rhetorical questions
open.substack.com/pub/musesupp... "This is the major issue I have with NaNo. It gets great communities of writers together for one month… which says nothing on what they should be doing the rest of the year."

I don’t go a day without seeing the same debate over Twitter or Discord. Authors forced to swallow the usual form rejections over and over until desperation sets in. “Are my stories even being read?”.
Yes, this one is spicy, and yes, no editor was hurt in the process musesupport.substack.com/p/the-case-a...?

Wrote a thing about scrolling IG for this year's Writober. I'm doing it in my native language, but every now and then I manage to translate stuff. It's on the blog. en.mwrites.net/post/_envy

"I masturbated so hard that they had to reconstruct my dick with a skin graft from the underside of my left arm. Many valuable lessons were learned"
“Please explain this gap in your résumé.” “I travelled on horseback with a faerie princess to meet her parents in the Land of Eternal Youth. It was just dinner and drinks, but when I returned, ten years had passed.”
When we moved into this new place there were a pair of angel's wings propped up in the corner of one room. They oozed white liquor, the smell fairly reminiscent of vanilla and garlic. The agency that rented us the house knew nothing about them. "How you dispose your waste is up to you," they said.
Here's today's unintentional writing prompt: "When we moved into this new place there were a pair of angel's wings propped up in the corner of one room."

One of the last days to get short stories for 1.99! Check out Reality and Contagion on Amazon and tell me how it goes.
I'm a bit early - but my short story collection is part of the Narratess Indie Sale. You can buy my book on amazon for just 1.99 - which is a total steal, because this price will get you 14 short stories of speculative fiction. Still not sure? Check en.mwrites.net to see how I write.
