Long time no see, Tumblr! I hope you’re all doing well. 💖

Today I’m offering up a gift to my fellow geeky writers who are tired of pointless, overly proscriptive writing advice:

Introducing the Let’s Write With… video series, in which we explore the possibility that watching anime + discussing the craft of writing might just = writing advice that doesn’t suck!

For this inaugural episode, we’re looking at the anime Tower of God and its take on things like genre, character development, and plot-driven consequences.

Witness me achieving moderate success at not spending the entire video fangirling over a certain blue-haired smartass! 🔪 Quake with horror as I discuss why we maybe SHOULDN’T hate that character everyone seems to hate! 😱 And more!

Hiatus Announcement

Hiya! Here’s a quick announcement that I will be going on indefinite hiatus from Tumblr.

I’ll be letting the queue play itself out, but I won’t be checking messages or making original posts (with the possible exception of sharing new YouTube videos and book release announcements–we’ll see what I’m up for).

Here are some other places you can find me:

Instagram

Youtube

Bardic Fool website

Bardic Fool newsletter (get a free story when you sign up!)

This is not a decision I make lightly. I’ve been on Tumblr for years (both in fandom and as a writer), and I still have so much love for this weird little place. But for mental health reasons, I need to reevaluate how I engage online, and for now, that means stepping back from certain social platforms.

You are all so lovely and so very talented! Please keep telling your stories. 💖 And I’d love to have you come visit me elsewhere on the interwebs! 🤗

What if we’re shouting into the void … and no one’s listening?

Creating art in a vacuum can be hard. In this week’s episode of Conversations with the Void, we’re gonna get real about how to create when it feels like no one else cares.

(Spoilers: They care more than you think. But that doesn’t necessarily make things easier.)

i love the phase "knock you into next week" because it implies that time travel can in fact be achieved with enough violence
