I don't talk a lot about this kind of thing on twitter b/c the number of followers and expectations makes it hard to like
talk shop.

I was def at least a little guilty of it in NITW. Lesson learned. It was my first go at longer-form narrative and my first experience with dialogue in general. Lots of room to grow from the experience.

overexplanation is a killer

I'm reading through The Ballad Of Black Tom, which in the 3rd chapter revealed what is actually is, and that's cool if you're up on your famously racist Lovecraft stories. It /does/ overexplain its arcane and supernatural shit though which like immediately hurts the kind of horror it seems to want to do, but I'm having fun thus far.

Hey look I have now updated Mastodon for like a whole 4 days in a row. That might be a record.

there is no dril of mastodon

hiked around, drove through the country, went on a haunted hayride. successful day.

#introductions I'm Scott Bensob

fuck let me start again

I'm Scotnb aagh goddammit

I do like weird horror shit a lot though. I can get through that.
Books currently in my backlog: https://mastodon.social/media/TE69pFxe7iRZ8zjIgVA https://mastodon.social/media/WFamls9CslKv-Y-3wXw https://mastodon.social/media/Q3DgmCSjIb0F4IaD9ew https://mastodon.social/media/x7r12WL-WvxgyppfF-c

I have a hard time reading books. Not like, reading itself, but maintaining attention. This mostly started since I got on mood meds 5 years ago. It's a decent tradeoff! But it takes me a while to finish things that aren't like short story collections now. I like those a lot though.

it's been wild seeing ~*~antifa~*~ becoming a regular term and a hilariously overinflated THREAT in the minds of centrists and the right this year. i have like anarchist tactics books from like 15 years ago when you'd get them at punk shows

i've had a long bendy political journey as an adult, from anarchism to progressivism back to libsoc-ish whatever. it was weird. you're supposed to just keep getting more centrist as you get older. i fucked up.

just got this. gonna read it. https://mastodon.social/media/zWX5mJXOE8SG3duK0jc
