Oh hey Bluesky! I have a new mg series coming out!

Feels like half the publishing community is on Threads and the other half is here. I wish there was an app which combined both feeds. 😭

Yes. Thank you for speaking out.

76 yrs ago in Palestine, my great-grandfather was shot in the head by Israeli soldiers, bc he said “no” when they demanded everything he owned. His wife was home in Syria, pregnant with twins—incl my grandfather.

76 years and what has changed? It is the innocent who suffer in every conflict.

Super bummed the Freewrite Alpha is delayed AGAIN. I’d really hoped to have it for NaNo. Should have just bought one of the existing models and not wasted money on the kickstarter. 😩

There’s no couple worth rooting for. And only 3?? YAWN.

This season of Love is Blind is a boooooooore 😴

You Just Found Out Your Book Was Used to Train AI. Now What? - The Authors Guild If you’re an author, you may have recently discovered that your published book was included in a dataset of books used to train artificial intelligence systems without your permission. This can be...

This is a really useful post from the @authorsguild.bsky.social for all of us whose books were illegally used to train AI without our consent: authorsguild.org/news/you-jus...

A new season of Love is Blind already?? *siggghhhhhh*

One of the best parts of the WGA deal: AI has now hit a brick wall in Hollywood, *and that includes adaptations.*

Based on the deal, AI can't be source material. So if you're a publisher, AI novels or graphic novels or whatever just became that much less appealing because *they can't be optioned.*

This damn Freewrite I ordered last year better arrive by NaNoWriMo 😡

NIMONA. I want 10000x more movies like this. And the GN kicked ass as well. 🥹

Just. Ugh.

Uh. So. Hi? Is this when I do the “about me” thing?

- I write SFF books
- I illustrate maps and other things
- I am a soccer fanatic
- I simply walked into Mordor
- I am part Scots, part Syrian
- I once got bit by a lion
- I killed a man in Reno just to watch him die
- only one of these is a lie

Hi!!

Well, here I am.
