SFF, we need to talk.

I'm not here to rag specifically on Bona, who did the right thing by going public.

No, I'm looking at all of you. Or at least, 15 of you.

Because this right here? This is buckwild.
Once we’d picked our hearts off the floor, we started digging: Bella had minimal online presence, first appearing in May 2025. Since then, she’d accumulated a remarkable publication record (we counted 15 published stories in 12 months), across name publishers and small or community-minded outlets, including several paying SFWA rates (like us).

Pope says "you should be writing."
A tweet from Pope Leo XIV which reads: "Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound."

my late day 6 post for the #revpit showcase countdown, haha! how i started writing:

i don't really have a glamorous origin for writing. i started out writing guro fic as a kid. in hindsight, it was likely because i grew up in a really bad and violent neighborhood and used writing as an outlet.

#RevPit Day 4 is comps for Chemical Solutions for Lonely Hearts.

💖 Steminist romcom a la The Love Hypothesis (Ali Hazelwood)

👩‍🔬 Saving the world with science a la The Martian (Andy Weir)

And a tiny bit of history and philosophy of science a la Thomas Kuhn (but funny)

#revpit showcase countdown day five! i'm late tho lmao. highkey forgot bc i was watching the knicks game 😅

i have a lot of favorite lines from wretched, but this one gets a laugh out of me every time
graphic of a beige background with some text on it. red borders on the top and the bottom. text has three paragraphs with the first and third paragraph nearly fading into the background and the second paragraph in red. text reads "What are you doing, why do you keep doing that?" Diosanto had the gall to sound exasperated with her. "I'm trying to activate every single mental illness I have at once," Leia said. "Hoping it'll somehow cancel out my experience of reality and render me catatonic, even for just a single second." Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all, or however that quote went. In Leia's case, it was better to have gone into a one-second coma and know true peace than to get the full brunt of her present situation. Footer at the bottom has the title "Wretched Geniuses"

Today for Day 3 of the #Revpit showcase lead up, we are talking playlists! Because my book is a Gothic Historical Thriller set in 18th century Venice, I built a historically accurate soundtrack to match the tension of the narrative!

I can describe my novel's hook a million different ways, but if you want to know how it *feels*, these songs paint a picture of Phoebe's emotional journey.

Also, it's got some real bangers.
