I actually noticed an opposite tendency. When indie writing is good, it's way better than anything that got squeezed through traditional publishing.
To me, the quality comes from words turning into scenes before I even realize it, and taking me along to thoughts I never knew I needed.

The most exciting precipice :)
Do you publish your novels online?

It sounds interesting. Is it a snippet from the essay? Can it be found online?

I got curious and checked out the sample on Amazon. The format is so dynamic too. It feels like it expands the meaning. It's kind of symbolic to discover this book a day after 8th March. Thanks for sharing this.

Double-checking all the recent drafts at once. What about you?

My black and white high contrast photograph of sunlight shimmering with bright sparkles across the surface of a lake. Dark, layered mountain silhouettes in the background under a clear sky with faint clouds.

Review: I Write Like I recently stumbled across a writing tool, which has somewhat changed the way I write โ€” for the better. I Write Like is a web based app, describing itself...

This informative and captivating review of I Write Like came as a surprise.

I often wonder about it, too. I don't know many people who read books. And they don't know they don't read books. They just think by default that they do.

I think you are right. I stayed away from SM for some time. So at first, even Bluesky felt a bit too much.
It's interesting what you said about the 300-character limit. I also wonder if it teaches people not to engage on a more complex level -- there would be no room for such a conversation, anyway.

I feel like Bluesky is an immense ocean of exciting discoveries, but I am stuck in a bubble I don't seem to be able to break through. I mainly hear my own echo.

Also, those who need to be appeased usually can be appeased only temporarily. They'll come back with more demands for you to change.

Fossilized coral imprints embedded in a piece of gray rock. The fossils are circular with ridges that resemble the underside of a mushroom.

I'm always with you
Touching the past calcified
I see through eons

That's why I'm mesmerized when I see vertical layers. Imagine the sheer force that tipped them this way!

I wonder whether one can practice their scrolling stamina. After about fifteen minutes of scrolling, my eyes start to feel like burning sand, and my brain like the dry, cracked desert this sand came from.

I'm looking for accounts that post about short stories and writing in general.
I'm also interested in paleontology, physics and biology, so if you have any recommendations from those spheres, I'd really appreciate it.

Really? I've never considered that. It's a very interesting topic. Granta is awesome! I love their podcasts, and I've discovered new authors through their website.

The horizon of future.

I actually hear a rhythm in your post :), look:

the invisible line
that hides what's afar.
What does it show today?
