Doing some archeology, very tickled to find that the story I picked up again was the last thing I was writing before #witchpunk. Very fitting that it's the first thing I picked up after finishing witchpunk. Just a simple 5 year long distraction.

Anyone else find a mildly prophetic bent to their creative endeavors? I don't think it's very surprising - there are reasons certain topics or arcs call to us - they often echo situations in our real life, and putting such effort and intention into those echoes often makes things you bring with you into real life as well. Like #EmpathAndAugur is extremely trans, and #witchpunk is about organizing, neither of which I was thinking about while I wrote it, only to get *very* deeply into it while editing.

I have an excerpt from #witchpunk that I'm in the mood to share. A bit of a teaser (more to get me excited on the work than you).
"How can you collapse that which has no structure? How can you erase that which has no name? How can you break that which has no bones?
What happened to the witches?"

#WritersCoffeeClub: Handling sex/nudity
I had a mind to have an explicit sex scene in #witchpunk but it completely fucked the pacing (pun not intended). not surprisingly, the scene would have come at the resolution of considerable romantic tension, but in doing so the play by play of the deed would've completely smothered the catharsis - both in that it slowed it down and also in the way readers' imagination often conjures better than anything I could make with words.

CW: #WritersCoffeeClub Jul. 25 - Do you ever hinge plots on a misunderstanding?
I suppose that #EmpathAndAugur is basically one big "Sebastian misunderstands Erika" plot. But it doesn't really fit the picture of what people think of as "misunderstanding plot", maybe because "who Erika is and why" is a pretty big question, one that Erika doesn't necessarily know the answer to herself.
#witchpunk might fit the bill a little better, as there is a lot of "Ash does not see Lucine's intentions", but Lucine is not always upfront with them, in addition to Ash having to work through her own shit in order to be in a position to understand.
perhaps, all this is to say, I often hinge plots on "understanding", mis- optional.

CW: #WritersCoffeeClub 29 Have you ever written anything that didn't age well?
Been taking a break from WCC for no real reason in particular, but couldn't let this one go because of how tortured writing #witchpunk has been lol.
Came up with the idea in the startup idealism era as a near-future scifi, then the startup economy piddled out so it had to become period. Also it was notably anti-tech with some stuff that could've been seen as transgressive and/or prescient. Then tech started showing its true face so no more prescience. And then the AI hype era started so the startup-fever vibes felt less period so we're back to near-future. And now I was gonna write an epilogue with climate activism, but climate activism in 2025 looks a lot different than it did in 2024, for US residents....
It's not so much that it's aging poorly as I can't write fast enough to keep up. Can we slow the descent into dystopia a little please? I have a book to finish.
