Hi all,
here is my quick #introduction.
My name is Massimo, I am from Italy and a year ago I had a weird dream about a boy and a strange phenomena.
That image grew in my head and I started writing some short stories (in Italian). I decided to publish them on a personal blog/site – https://crooked.ink. That wasn't enough: bored because of the lockdown, I decided to translate one in English and –a few weeks later– to write another one directly in English.

TL;DR: I think I enjoy writing.

Typewriter effect just using HTML and CSS?
I thought it was impossible — I was wrong!

Big news for https://crooked.ink! Other than some reviews to the stories (I'll be never happy with them), I managed to add some cool features as:
- Reading time! Now at the top of each story/blog post you can see how much time you'll waste
- Contact form! Because shy people like me prefer to avoid social medias
- The very first story I wrote... -properly- translated in English!

Take look, you will see into your imagination! (yes, this may be a quote)

After a year, I finally translated in English the very first short story I wrote.
It is about a family living in Montana, where once the Crow tribe lived.
They had an interesting creation myth — ever heard about it?

#Linux lovers, what would you recommend as alternative for #Apple's Preview?
In my opinion, it's an essential tool! Are you aware of any similar #FOSS project?

Hey, #WritingCommunity! What do you think about #perspective? What is your favourite one? Do you change between them? Do you excersise for that?
I personally only used first-person for now just because I feel more comfortable with it. What do you prefer?

Very interesting article about #writing - makes me wanna rewrite (and translate!) some short stories on crooked.ink in English https://www.julian.com/guide/write/intro

This is my first twoot (tweet + toot), posted on both social networks by a neat script that required much more work that I expected.
As a bonus, here is an interesting link about life lessons. https://www.outsideonline.com/2401643/life-lessons-97-year-old-lobsterman

#nowplaying "Echo and Abyss" by Caspian (from "Dust and Disquiet", 2015)

This is my first toot sent by a script. It integrates with Apple's Music.app and gains some track info... and while reviewing this I realize that the Genre field in iTunes has always been a nightmare. What the heck is 'Alternative & Punk'?

By the way, if you like #postrock, give a try to Caspian!

#alternative #music

"When men say that there are strange things in the world, they little know the awe and the terror that dwell always with them and about them."

Arthur Machen - The Inmost Light

I love Machen's #writing and style. He and other masters like Lovecraft have a special talent to use simple phrases to dig in the deepest #horror.
What do you think about weird fiction?

About #postrock #music, have you ever heard of A Cheery Wave from UK?
https://acheerywaverecords.bandcamp.com/music

Their (free!) compilations are absolutely recommended!
