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.

Did you know that many past civilisations thought that your soul could escape your body while you are sleeping?
That's one of the curiosities I wrote about on Godsip Club – I think it's fascinating, mostly because the belief was spread around the globe!

If you are interested in curiosities about #folklore, #myths, and #religion... You're invited to the club 🍸 https://godsip.club

A few months ago I wrote a very short story about Irish #folklore called ‘The Lios‘ starting from a quick incipit: “a young girl tells her dreams to her teddy bear”.
I think it is quite appropriate for #halloween.

Friday afternoon mood:

- How are you?
- I don't know

I fell in love with https://fraidyc.at/ – after a couple of days, it feels better than any other RSS reader I tried

This blog post is titled as a very recent pop album, but the main protagonist is post-rock https://crooked.ink/blog/folklore/

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
