Idk about boxing anime gods but Ashita no Joe might be on your radar.

And then one more time2

You know you can just not use AI, right?

You can make a choice not to be part of this.

Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.

You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

Original painting for ALL THE BROKEN BLADES, showing a sword on the cliffs near the water, with snow and trees to the left.

Thank you! The artist is Lana Kamaric (www.lanakamaric.com), and the cover designer is Tony Sahara (www.tonysahara.com). It's an original commission for my cover, and a physical acrylic painting!

But first it was just a short story that turned into a novella that turned into a standalone novel.

Doesn't cost anything to try and give people their flowers when you happen to notice. And with how tough and how incredibly valuable writing is, we gotta support each other. I hope you can pass it on, Swati and keep writing of course

Let me be the first to offer online congratulations! I know that has to feel amazing since you never stopped believing in that story. The right moment indeed.

Makes a lot of sense

That looks nice, what's the premise of it?

This is a gif? I only see one outfit...

Dang you good. I would watch that. But how did it measure up to your screenplays that took more time to write?

You do that?

Ah I see. I probably should read some of those but it sounds exhausting.

But yeah I hope you manage to find a more honest editor. Maybe one that's more strongly anti-ai? Idk.

Oh that's pretty short actually! Easy to handle. I would offer to read it, but Regency is pretty far from my usual. I probably wouldn't be very helpful like trope-wise and stuff. And I'm sure you already have the grammar/spelling on point

Not sure but I might have to commission you to make me something like this

Smh I feel for you. Is the book very long? Laziness? Either way that's tough...disappointing

Scary. How could you tell though?

a screenshot that says "On today's episode of 'Googling things for my stories'" in bold at the top and a list of things below it that resemble a search history

Just found this. Anyone know any of these without googling?

I deleted it 🤷

I added something new to my WIP. One word.

Most beautiful cover I've seen today and I bet it's the most beautiful one you've seen today too @flairiart.bsky.social!

In this case sci-fi is a funny way to spell Mario Kart

Motivational? I guess it motivated me to have a nightmare?

Yea I'm not drinking that. Totally her sweat in that cup. Nice try....

I was the eldest daughter, so I knew I was doomed. The youngest marries the prince. The youngest saves the kingdom. The youngest is immortalized in song. I told myself I didn’t mind missing those things. I didn’t want princes, or kingdoms, or songs. I was happy being the wicked one. If only I knew a single story—just one—where the wicked sister won. From “Glass Gardens.” Read in All the Broken Blades. Release date: May 28, 2025. https://www.ympang.com/all-the-broken-blades/

Only two days until ALL THE BROKEN BLADES releases! Today I am introducing "Glass Gardens," the penultimate story in the book and where I first dipped my toes into fairy tale retellings.
