Apple is anti-union.

Tesla is anti-union.

Amazon is anti-union.

McDonald's is anti-union.

Starbucks is anti-union.

Google is anti-union.

Walmart is anti-union.

These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

#FirstDraftFall I haven't written in a week but I finally got something today!

An image of a huge jackboot crushing a comic artist and a bunch of comic pages. The boot is marked by the logos for MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe. Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction. Fight back against the unjust policies hurting artists and creators online! https://yellat.money/ https://stop-paypros.neocities.org/

Just a heads up.
I don't use Gen AI in my writing and never will.
I don't use Gen AI for illustration and never will.
I won't willingly or knowingly use Gen AI at all.
I write because I love it.
I pay indie artists because they deserve the work and the credit.

Gen AI is not art.

Good song! 🥰

Same. It's been so nice to get to know you and other creatives on here!

Thank you!! 💜

Also I completely understand struggling with planning/organization 🫂 It's difficult sometimes.

Shoutout to @ottersediting.com who saved my bacon with a tight turnaround on proofreading my latest story. With their help I actually made my deadline, with a polished manuscript to boot!

I love this idea!

I usually already have scenes in mind before I start (not sure about 5 of them but at least 2-3)

AnimalsWIP is inspired by a dream so I already had the obstacle course scene, after that I came up with a ballroom dance celebration scene and a final transformation scene.

My editor, @mollyrookwood.bsky.social, is a great editor plus she gets me.

In giving thanks, I'd like to shout-out my favorite authors on here!

Thank you all so much, and go check these wonderful people out!

Otters Editing gives thanks to the Indie Author community for supporting me, my career and supporting each other. The graphic contains a butterfly for Bluesky, a typewriter for the authors, and fall decorations: a leaf and a pumpkin.

This Thanksgiving, I'm giving thanks to all the people, communities, and organizations that have supported me on my freelance journey.

Authors, I would not be here without you. I love reading your stories, all of them.

Thank you to the Indie Author community for allowing me to be an #editor 💜

What’s fun for me as an editor is seeing my clients’ books finally published. I feel proud and excited when they do well too.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

If you want free or more affordable books, don't steal them - advocate for universal basic income so authors can write the damn things without having to work a day job 8-10 hours a day or subsist on Venmo money.

Hi, just a friendly reminder that Freydis Moon just released an audiobook last week and that you should not buy purchase that book at all because Freydis a brownfishing white person who likes to bully their fellow trans and queer authors.

A pair of white rectangles superimposed on a beach. On the left is hand scrawled text reading "pretend a hot person is here". On the right is the cover of Guitar Concerto in C Flat Major, Op. 12: Lucina. It is a beige/off-white cover with the book's title in gray-blue text. At the top is the text "A novella in three movements" and at the bottom is the author's name, S. Morgan Burbank. At the bottom reads "bottom text"

Look. I get it. Sex sells. And I have not been appealing to you with attractive people in my posts enough. Well no longer! Lust. Drool over their visage. Do as they say. Consume. Acquire.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

Thank you! 💜 Excited for your short story to come out soon!

@amphipodgirl.bsky.social edited Sweet & Wild and is working with me on The Need for Dandelions! Her work is fantastic! The feedback I got back from her is so helpful and makes my work so much better!

@ottersediting.com worked with me on a short story coming out in December and they are great!

@ottersediting.com, I appreciate you and I'm excited to work with you in the near future!!!

Editing is so important. It helps create a solid narrative. And having an editor that you like to work with only helps your writing.

Thank you, editors, for your dedication to the craft!

Thank you so much!! 🥺💜

I agree with everything you said about editing here! It's so important for having a clear, cohesive story that flows.

Excited to work with you as well!

Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!
