I like writing.
Currently working on a fantasy series called Kingdom of the Sun. I also write short stories and the occasional piece of poetry.

There's been some pretty good views of the northern lights lately. Hadn't actually gone out to see them before, so it was an interesting experience.

I've been trying to figure out for a while how not to burn myself out, but so far my life has mostly been cycles of falling down and getting back up. I'm fairly drained atm, but I'm grateful for the snowfall out where I live. The sudden chill always manages to shock me awake.

I often ask myself why I put so much into my creative pursuits. Before, I thought I was only writing so my stories could help people in the same way some stories have helped me over the years, but I’ve since realized how reliant my mental health is on the creative process. 🧵

Subtext is cool and all, but I think there is a tendency among writers to mistake obfuscation for depth. The message of your work is not somehow more impactful if the characters refuse to say it aloud. #writing 🧵

I enjoy poetry as a method of conveying feelings/ideas in a succinct and poignant way, but I find poetry is primarily valued for its use of form rather than its content. I feel there should be more space for writing which toes the line between poetry and prose.

I hate how much of social media is just shallow (usually inflammatory) bullshit, propaganda, or barely disguised corporate advertising. I will counter this by being as onerous, needlessly long-winded, and pretentious as possible.

It is interesting—as a #writer who takes a fairly methodological approach to creating—how much of what actually sticks about a narrative comes down to symbols and memetics. People (especially critics) claim to value technical skill, but well made stories that neglect symbol use tend to be forgotten.

The process of getting writing published is long and tiring. I created this account as a place to share about my writing and as a somewhat "professional" face for my work as a writer, which was a good intention, but a rather limiting one (hence my quite infrequent posting).

After all these years, I’ve done it. I’ve finally started reading the Stormlight Archives. Can’t wait to still be reading the series like 3 years from now (I do not go through books quickly).

My writing's been going a bit slow lately, but the sights are as beautiful as ever. Sometimes I think I should lock myself away and work, but I try to remember that good stories draw from experience. To write, you need to live.

If you're a writer starting out, just a heads up that you don't need expensive writing software. Good writing can be done anywhere and with anything, and while organization does help, there are many ways to organize your work with basic software ✍️🧵 #writing #writingcommunity

Pro tip for new writers: don’t start out with a fantasy project. I’ve been working on this damn doc for 5 years, and there’s still so much more to be done. I’ve also had to make like 5 lore documents just to keep track of everything being introduced.

Excerpts from my Sci-Fi short story, 10,000 Miles Above the Surface of Jupiter:
“For the three years since then, the only warmth he felt was the heat of the storm.”
“It really was something of a miracle, which made it all the more appropriate that it could only be found in the depths of hell.”

There are many wonderful things out in the world, but if you’re looking to ground yourself, there’s nothing else quite like the calm of the lakeshore.
