Some days, it’s just me, tea & a blinking cursor. Other days? I let ChatGPT shake up a scene or challenge my plot. The voice’s still mine. The spark? Still messy, still human. Writers: tried AI or sticking to old-school? #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #AIandWriting #AuthorLife

Some reminders that matter more than rules. Be weird. Be kind. Be honest. And never underestimate the power of a stuffed animal named Monsieur le Dog. #RulesToLiveBy #OttessaMoshfegh #LiteraryVoice #WriterLife #DarkHumor #BeKind #LiveAuthentically #StrangerPhotos #ExistentialCom

I’m a hoarder of things I find interesting. Notebooks, antique photographs, conversations I overheard once and never forgot. It’s all part of the story. #OttessaMoshfegh #LiteraryVibes #WritersLife #DarkFiction #OddBeauty #EmotionalClutter #WritersGaze #ArtOfObservation

Everyone out here curating lives like museum exhibits. Meanwhile, I’m trying to forget mine #OttessaMoshfegh #PradaSS25 #TenProtagonists #CareyMulligan #LiteraryFashion #DarkFeminism #StevenMeisel #PradaCampaign

The writing hours are long, the silence even longer-but somewhere between the two, I sit at my desk to unravel people who don’t exist… until they do #WritingLife #LiteraryFiction #OttessaMoshfegh #DarkLiterature #WritersRoom

The cat has no notes, so it must be going well-though I’m not sure if I’m working, procrastinating, or just existing (maybe all three). #WritersLife #WorkingFromBed #AuthorMood #OttessaAtHome #CatAndWords

People say “write what you know,” but what if what you know is unbearable? Fiction is the only honest way I’ve ever lied. What genre saves you? #WriterOfTwitter #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #FictionWriters #WritersLife

I write fiction, but I’m always rooting for other authors - debut, seasoned, or somewhere in the mud. If you ever need advice on your book, pitching, or getting eyes on it… DM me. I know someone who can help. #WritingTips #AuthorSupport #BookMarketing #WritersHelpingWriters

Writers: You tell yourself you’re lazy. You procrastinate. You rewrite the same line 47 times. But no one talks about the fact that writing requires sitting with your own darkness for hours. That’s not laziness. That’s bravery. Keep going. #WriterStruggles #KeepWriting

If you ever felt alienated, bored, or vaguely homicidal during a summer in your twenties, my book 'My Year of Rest and Relaxation' might feel like home #MyYearOfRestAndRelaxation #OttessaMoshfegh #LiteraryFiction #DarkHumor #Alienation #BookRecommendation #BookTwitter

'Lapvona' is not a comfort read. But neither is the world #Lapvona #OttessaMoshfegh #LiteraryFiction #FictionWithBite #DarkReads #CynicalBooks #BookLovers #BookTwitter

Marek held the grape, Villiam told him to put it down his pants, Lisbeth unbuttoned him without flinching, and the priest watched, no one spoke, because in Lapvona, obedience is sacred, even when it rots #Lapvona #OttessaMoshfegh #LiteraryFiction #DarkReads #DisturbingFiction

Watching this still makes my chest tighten. 'Causeway'. A story about loss, healing, and the fragile bridge between trauma and hope. That scene where Lynsey laughs after the breakdown, it felt like a breath into darker spaces. #Causeway #OttessaMoshfegh #WritersOfX

Some characters insist they’re different. Most of them are lying. The ones who say “I’m not like that” usually are. Homesick for Another World was never meant to comfort anyone. #LiteraryFiction #DarkFiction #ShortStories #FictionThatHurts #BookTwitter #IndieLit #BleakBooks

Lately I’ve been thinking about how nothing makes you feel more like a ghost than watching people you love walk away, totally alive, totally un-haunted. Anyway, here’s to writing characters who never let you do that. #LiteraryFiction #HauntingProse #CharactersWhoHaunt
