tbh if youve ever wondered why my writing is Like That, one of my beta readers has aphantasia, the other has a photographic memory (one only tells truth the other lies...), and i personally read 4x faster than the regular human. no one involved experiences text normally lol.

tbh something i'd tell my younger writer self is that "its ok that your writing isnt every style or genre of writing that u like to read." like i spent a solid chunk of my adolescence thinking i'd write epic fantasy but boy is that not what i write.

new story drop: murdergames, narrative deaths, and trying to escape from the infinite cycle of reality television by casting yourself as the bad guy. unfortunately, audiences love a good villain
