nebulos<a href="https://comicscamp.club/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writing</a> discussion: Magic and "systems" Lots of people, when they sit down to introduce magic into their story, think about it from a "system" point of view, implying things like rules, predictability, etc. But magic/the supernatural in our world is often very vibes based and unpredictable. Which does your story's "magic" lean towards? Do you think one works better than the other? In what situations and why? <a href="https://comicscamp.club/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a> <a href="https://comicscamp.club/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> <a href="https://comicscamp.club/tags/Sidechat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sidechat</a> <a href="https://comicscamp.club/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmWriting</a> <a href="https://comicscamp.club/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a>

How does it feel knowing that strangers will read your work?I pity them.

ClaraBlackInkDevoured to fuel a mindless ego fueling machine that hands out fortunes and horoscopes for the price of water and power so that some billionaires can become trillionaires owning the only thing that's interesting about humans...our ideas.It's strange to be so unaware when your job, your social contract, is to be the most aware of people. The most sensitive. The most able to tell the truth of what's in our hearts and minds./End 🧵<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

ClaraBlackInkAnd I can wander through these inspirations in roughly the amount of time it would take to prompt an AI and bring it to heel.I've wasted nothing here. There's material here. I have used power for my phone and it's vold enough that the heat is on. I'll also need to make myself some tea and food soon.It boggles my mind that creative folks are lining up to give away this power even as I understand that my words may be scRaped. Taken without my consent.<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

ClaraBlackInkTake it through all of the common shared moments and feelings. See how there's this thread of water through time, through place, through our fragile human bodies and I can recognize how that water is now being offered to these gods of men, the children birthed of their bodies and greed and worshipped for the same reasons as any gods are worshipped.Because the gods impart power to the priesthood by obscuring the power that is in all people and nature.<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

ClaraBlackInkI can point to little moments from reality. To the way that the dryness of the air in North Carolina reminds me of California and how I can look and see that, yup, there's drought here too. And I listen to the audiobook from House of Rain for the eight time and connect to history. And I read about Mexico City's issues with water in the present and connect outwards beyond myself.I can follow my inspiration, quote it...<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

ClaraBlackInkWhen your inspiration is, "well, I asked ChatGPT to inspire me and it came back with this list".WTF does that mean?I get it that time is short. I've been chronically ill for five years and fighting that has taken most of my creative time from me.Still, I listen and watch every single day. I take little notes for later. I'm inspired by the world, the ways that the air changes with the season, the looks on people's faces, the petals and leaves...<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

ClaraBlackInkThe resignation and the embracing of "you should all be using this" because it makes everything easier offends me as a human being.So many people go to shitty jobs that can't be automated. They give of their body, their health and exhaust themselves to mush to provide for families, friends, communities.The social contract for creating requires a certain level of respect for that. Not every piece should be subversive but how do you explain your inspiration<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

ClaraBlackInkI feel like I'm spitting fire this morning.I've been taking a few courses relating to business and art for a variety of my own reasons.It's left such a bad taste in my mouth how casually some artists are adopting AI.It's not just that the marketing is working because, yes, that's what marketing does.It's the lack of critical analysis by people who are both teachers and artists. The acceptance of the status quo sleep walking into oblivion.<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

nebulosTalking today about stories that are missing from the modern canon: where are the stories of the path from hero to mentor? You've beat the big bad, you've righted their wrongs, how do you take a generation of people in survival mode and start building for the future? Why do we have a thousand bildungsromans, but so little of what comes after?<a href="https://comicscamp.club/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmWriting</a> <a href="https://comicscamp.club/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a> <a href="https://comicscamp.club/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a>

Grace FrenchMy available evenings are Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday, but if people have a day where they are free during the daytime, I'm free any day of the week.Note: My time zone is GMT.If you are interested, I plan to hold the meetings on my melting pot of a nerd culture server.Here's an invite link: <a href="https://discord.gg/RNWtbP5A" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/RNWtbP5A</a>🧵2/2<a href="https://pkm.social/tags/writingchat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingchat</a> <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/writingdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingdiscussion</a> <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a>

ClaraBlackInkBringing it back to my initial reason for <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> this...We get very standardized ideas when we expect results on a specific timeline.I love that there are prolific writers! It's so cool that there are people who can finish a book in a year (or less).But, I also love books that gestate for 20 years. That someone worked so hard to distill the contents of their mind is also amazing.I feel like there's room for both extremes and everything else.<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

ClaraBlackInkAnd, I think we still see this happening. Mainly because <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> allows our ideas to breathe in ways that talking does not.Deeper rumination is really interesting especially when you are someone who's brain doesn't work as quickly in the moment. It's why I HAVE to journal in order to write well. I have lots of thoughts cluttering my mind and I require the brain dump to function.I can write competently in first drafts but I'm not always good at expressing my full idea<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

ClaraBlackInkToday while journaling I was exploring something I wanted to share about <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> and why some of us don't rush to publish. There's this idea that people are "precious" with their work and sometimes this is an on point accusation.But, people's brains process things differently and I think the more recent publishing environment doesn't give room for the idea that some writers need years to mentally work through their work. <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>

ClaraBlackInkWriters who've been published since their 20s or 30s and into their 60s+ are fascinating to study in the sense that they're often writing basically the same stories (obviously Stephen King comes to mind here) and you can see the same themes over time. See different strengths and weaknesses over time.My own work has themes I'm fascinated with and approach differently over time. Rereading those pieces is helpful for rethinking what I'm currently working on<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingDiscussion</a>
