Need something to read for the weekend? Support your local incurably weird author with these (more-or-less) direct-purchase items at Ko-Fi.
Each of these is is more than 100,000 words (shorter attention spans to the left, walking wounded from academia to the right) guaranteed to leave you with a literary hangover by the time you get back to work on Monday.
Proceeds go to rent, groceries, medicine and upcoming jaunts to deal with trying to renew a passport via the embassy in the capital, which is sure to be a Kafka-esque nightmare, so make sure you share this with all of your friends!
My short story, "Job Offer", is now LIVE at @UtopiaScienceFiction. If any of you lovely people have read it, then please do post a review below! (Within reason. No erotic fanfic. Read the rest of the mag too, obviously.)
I don't know if anyone else has gone through this. I've started #writing a new play. It's awesome and flowing, but it's triggering the fuck out of me. I won't go into details. I thought it would be fine and easy going and it is. But after I write, my mood crashes. It's not just the subject matter. It's the act of opening up. Has anyone else gone through something like this? It's fucking exhausting and I'm questioning if I should write at all. #writerscommunity#writerscoffeeclub#AuDHD#ptsd
Hi, dear #writingcommunity, I need help!
I'm currently translating a story set in 12th century. In the German version, I'm using the word "Herr" as address to higher-ups, when the right title is not used. This is done by people who are not well educated. "Herr" could be translated with "my lord" or "sir". I thought "my lord" was the better alternative, but I wonder - it feels weird e.g. for the bishop (Your Excellency). What do you think?

I remembered that I do have a professor for medieval studies in my acquaintance, who is a native German but teaches in England. Here is her response, in case any of you ever face a similar problem (translation in alt).
I wasn't aware that Sir only came to England with the Normans in the 11th century and is based in French. #wordweavers#writerscoffeeclub#pennedpossibilities#writerscommunity
