Writerly Ways
Sep. 15th, 2024 10:10 pmI had a writerly way for today. It took me two weeks to get ready to do this one because of the anxiety of it, because it touched on politics and then today there was another assassination attempt (though I don't think shots were fired, at least not when I was reading) on Trump. It seems crass to do that now because it was definitely anti-right wing post and as much as I want him gone, I don't condone assassination attempts. It's wrong, and that's all I want to say on it.
Other sad shit I ran up against this week comes from all us readers. This whole MY way is the only way this thing can be (i.e. one way to be gay, trans, an abuse survivor, an accident survivor) which is of course such bullshit and people would most likely agree with you if you put it that way but when they see a character acting one way that they don't think is the right way, they lose their minds. (i.e. I saw even MORE death threats against actors and creators. WTF, no seriously?)
So enough of all that. Tomorrow I have to go to the dentist for this bad tooth. Not looking forward to that. I did two more![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomgiftbasket stories and I'm now to the point of there is only one more story I could possibly do for the empty/half filled baskets. If you want to jump in, I'm sure someone will love you for it
