^Any cool writing thing I do is because I have the best critique group in the world!

Oh, hi from the LAC! Congrats!!!

An Oz story?!? Oh hell yes! Are you allowed to say who's got the Oz story?

Absolutely honored and flabbergasted to announce that one of my earliest and favorite stories, "Still Kicking," is going to be out in Wrath Month!

This makes me sad because I liked that show, but I’m not interested in S2 if they’re going to use AI. I wrote “Through the Machine” so people will push back on this crap before it becomes the norm. It’s not too late. #noaiart

Cheering you on.

How do you feel about multiple subs? Might have a second taco bell piece.

@innerworlds.bsky.social Hey! Asking for some writers - if we hear back, is it ok to resubmit during the same reading period?

Creative work in general pays far less than people think it does, especially relative to the notability one can have. The correlation between "fame" and "income" is rather shaky, especially the further down you go on the fame power curve. Lots of "world famous" creators are broke as hell.
