NaNoWriMo, the competition whose raison d'etre is making people write actual words for a month, declaring that you can do writing with AI is a predictably inane choice. But coaching their statement in social justice language about how banning AI is classist and ableist, now that elevates it to the sublimely dopey

We Got the Moves by Electric Callboy
WAVES by Zaid Tabani/Keetheweeb/AlexV
(I think all the songs from Rush are really solid but I've got a soft spot for Waves and No More Quarters. I'm so normal about No More Quarters so so so so so so normal).
Open tag :>
Reblog with 1) the song currently stuck in your head and 2) a song of your choice
Tag people if you want, have fun! :)

I had this one story idea that was super interesting to me in terms of thematic parallels and contemporary issues but then I couldn't help thinking that there were story aspects to it that maybe I wasn't the right person to write about (technical knowledge and lived experience sort of thing) and it kinda sucked. Might have to shelve it for now :,)
#writeblr#writer#writing blog#writing#Just felt like an idea I could totally fumble if I didn't write/research well#I do believe that anyone can write anything given depth of research bc otherwise how would horror and fantasy exist#but idk felt like there was almost too much at stake in terms of its concept#plus again its not even just the lived experience sort of thing it's about a thing I'm interested in but lack the technical knowledge on it#i dunno#just feel like I need a 'low stakes' sort of story I can really grip my teeth into and finish

Think I put myself into a writing slump recently because, once again, I try to pants a novel based on the vibes without any planning at all and hit a roadblock like Talking Heads 'HoW DiD I GeT HeRe???'
like omg this isn't the first time we know we need to plan and you're still not doing it what the hell stop writing off of vibes alone

7 Sentence Tag
Got tagged by @calicohyde to post the last 7 sentences I wrote (thank youuu I'm so bad at these tag games aaaa!!!)
I AM RILEY
RILEY MAKES A STRANGE NOISE, covers her mouth and turns away from the screen. She gulps, and when her hand pulls away from her mouth we can see saliva trail from her mouth to her hand- Whatever is in the image, it has nearly made her throw up. The tears she was biting back are now freely falling, and she begins to make CHOKED SOBS for a time. Then. A DONATION NOISE. It is a video link. Riley looks up slowly at the screen, her expression defeated. She wiggles the mouse, it responds to her touch. RILEY It…wants me to click.
From the 2nd Draft of I AM RILEY, a short (?) film project I'm slowly working on with my partner. I was particularly proud of this segment that came up pretty freely as I was scriptwriting. I'd really love to see if it translates well into film!
I'll tag @sableglass @bookish-karina @toribookworm22 and @agirlandherquill (no pressure :> )
