Looking for inspirations , i found this artful discussion of David Lynch’s aversion to words fascinating
I'd never seen his student work (featured briefly) and it is worth seeing.

@inphovore:matrix.org@inphovore:matrix.org It’s such a dead channel, and I’m sure everyone has writing on their minds. Anyone want to practice paragraph sized stories? What’s the perfect story size to fit into a message without paging like a bot? 12:55:35
@philippetapon:matrix.orgPhilippe There’s the one-line story where we take turns writing the one line. 12:58:30
@philippetapon:matrix.orgPhilippeHmm, though. I don’t know if there’s a perfect story size. Must be different for everyone. Longer than a haiku, shorter than a sestina? 🤔13:00:04

@inphovore:matrix.org@inphovore:matrix.orgThe wanderer froze. The site before a wonder. For a moment, the intent of passage was lost, and a belonging to no where was overcome with belonging everywhere. Then the moment past. The horizon was seen everywhere as empty and far off. A long road lay ahead.01:07:06

@philippetapon:matrix.orgPhilippeVery impressive. Full of atmosphere. 01:50:20
@philippetapon:matrix.orgPhilippeAnd as short as it is, it has a beginning, a middle, and an end! 01:50:37
@philippetapon:matrix.orgPhilippeKnowing I can rewrite my texts even after having hit send—01:51:07
@philippetapon:matrix.orgPhilippeYes, he said, the kitchen is dirty, but we've been busy, and these apricots, we can throw them away. And the other said,, I bought those apricots for us, and why do you not spend more time with us, and less at work? Whereupon he reached into the garbage can and pulled out the apricots and laid them before him. 01:53:52

@Dezponia:matrix.orgDezponiaThis looks like an interesting tool. Writing books in markdown: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook07:41:59
@Dezponia:matrix.orgDezponiaAlso nice that it's written in rust07:42:18
@stevenjaycohen:matrix.orgSteven Jay CohenThis is my fav writing tool that I've come across recently. Works well on just about every device: https://wavemaker.co.uk/11:29:37
@Dezponia:matrix.orgDezponiaThat looks quite good. I like that they plan to release the current version under a open source license as well. Until then I'll stick to Manuskript though :)11:49:17
@inphovore:matrix.org@inphovore:matrix.orgManuskript looks nice, I was looking for something more appropriate. I’ve been using https://tiddlywiki.com/ since way back. It gets easily cluttered though you can control everything as fully JS scriptable .13:43:38
