@kww.bsky.socialI discovered this picture in my medical files. I feel like I'm seeing a preview of the slab I will eventually find myself on.

@kww.bsky.socialCertainly the best use of Russian assets in Europe is to fund Ukraine. Soon Russia abandons its war, the more of its money it keeps ... which is about the only lever they will respond to.

@darthputinkgb.bsky.socialReposted by @kww.bsky.socialThe question is not "why has Donald betrayed Ukraine?" The question is "how big a cut of unfrozen Russian assets will Donald get for betraying Ukraine?"
@kww.bsky.socialMore evidence that in general, atheists are the among the best people on Earth. A quick shout out to Black Protestants, who also scored amazingly well on this test of basic decency.

@trishcwilson.bsky.socialReposted by @kww.bsky.social#WriteStuff I'm on a Widow's Bay Weekend planning committee. We're setting up a huge weekend party in May in Rockport, MA, where part of the show was filmed. I live in Rockport. Season 2 begins filming here in March, 2027. I'm psyched! I haven't been this excited about a TV show since The X-Files.

Okay, since I've been yammering about my most recent novel and its non-linear timeline and subplots, here you go:
@kww.bsky.social#WriteStuff No link: but this came out of my fingers this weekend. I always write this way -- the first chapter or so, and then sit back and think about whether I should finish it.
@kww.bsky.social#WriteStuff A6 They should generally resolve, but many a sequel has been made by continuing a subplot from the first book.
@kww.bsky.social#Writestuff A5 Yeah, I led the witness there. But for everyone struggling, this is the key. You have supporting characters to interact with your main character and those interactions have to have a foundation. If you can't get that foundation in your main plot, build it with a subplot.
@kww.bsky.socialA little bit of recentism here, but I've been impressed by Helene Wecker. For three books she's kept about four parallel plots going and none of them get in the way of the other.
@kww.bsky.social#WriteStuff A3 Because as a practical matter it's nearly impossible to have a single sequential story take 90,000 words and not feel poorly paced.
@kww.bsky.social#WriteStuff Yes ... it's an endemic disease in modern fantasy, especially quest novels. Not every quest member needs a full backstory and motivation -- sometimes they are just bit players.
@kww.bsky.social#WriteStuff A1 Pretty much to completion. Sometimes I'll do an early pacing to make sure I'm not devoting too much weight to side action.
@kww.bsky.socialOne of those nights I bear an uncanny resemblance to the host.
@anildash.comReposted by @kww.bsky.socialGenuinely, I pity the people who do not realize that they've been brought low. I wish their past selves could see what they've become, and talk some sense into them. "How much would it take," they would ask, "for you to hang out with Nazis who sell kiddie porn?" And they'd be shocked at the answer.
