Shannon vs The Evil Empire

I do not care—I am NOT letting AI take away my freedom to use emdashes.

Please stop using words like “brick.” Why are you talking about yourself like that.

As a new writer and someone who wants to work in the publishing industry, what the hell do I do in this climate 😭 feels like all the resources for onboarding new blood is being diverted towards AI

And it’s so frustrating too. When do I get to stop worrying about money?

And this is why I want to traditionally publish. I just can’t fucking finance a self pub.

I discovered yet another artist who would be perfect for an indie publication of my book and yet all the same, I CANT AFFORD THEM

GMTK is coming up and I want to seek new heights this year. Any tips for the aspiring game writer?

Urgently seeking a white person to put my career on travk

This is not a joke. I will do anything at this point 😭 I’m getting so sick of going nowhere.

If you are an agent reading this: please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, p

Finally reading Sunrise on the Reaping. I need to get my book published NOW

I own that book both in paperback and audiobook forms! Really good advice there but It seems I’m lacking in the execution aspect.

I really want a literary agent, yet I'm clueless about the initial steps.

We’re in this together!

53 days left on my deadline with 53,691 words to go. Could use a boost.

Owning my cringe has saved my life on several real occasions. It’s good for the bones.

A lot of the “this one is cheaper” replies are missing the point and it irks me very much.

Another day, another person telling me I can’t find entry level dev work because of “networking.”

I didn't hit my word count goal for Draft #3 yesterday but that's cause I was doing some legitimately robust notetaking/research. Does that still count?

I don't write on therapy days so I consider this a streak!

Why don’t parents take their kids to the library anymore?

So many thoughts about this. Holy smokes.

NEVER KILL YOURSELF

Real shit! I have digital copies dating back years for this very reason. My beta manuscript was printed and stored in a safe deposit box in 2022. I guess I could just keep adding to that.

I can’t wait to get famous and spend precious interview time to geek out about RWBY

I’m thinking of tossing my manuscript and starting a new book from scratch. Any advice on why/why not?

Did something recent happen with them?

Been hitting my word count goals with maybe ≈200 word margin of error/laziness. If I keep this up I should be done with the 3rd draft on April 12th. Yay?

I’m gonna be doing some more notated readings of In The Black Fantastic for inspiration. I also finally started reading N.K. Jemisin. Better be gas.

Is there a bottleneck in the training of entry-mid level devs? Especially with so many mass layoffs happening, you would think there would be no shortage of senior/experienced applicants.
