YAY! The contract is back. Signed and everything.

Sometime this month, I shall have a new #Shadowrun story published.

Details to come!

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

Hello, my peeps. If you are a #writer or #creative, become a part of a class action lawsuit!

Horoscopes on @theonion.com are a riot. I really need to incorporate stuff like this on my #writing. 😸

That pretty much sums up what men don't get about the female gaze.

Just spent several hours yesterday and today writing up my story bible. Even if the other property writers don't use anything I created, I will have something other than incomplete sentences to base future stories off of if I'm allowed to play more in this sandbox. #Writing #WriteSky

To log into account A, I need a MFA that is sent to account B, which in turn needs an MFA, if I'm lucky, from account C and NOT account A. Because if I set it up wrong and B uses A and A uses B... I'm never going to be able to log into my accounts ever again.

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

🤣😱

Finally watched #Spiderman No Way Home this week (first time seeing it) and walked away gutted. Thoroughly, completely flattened by the ending.

Yeah, I liked it. I can see all the heart string moments from prev movies coming together to rip it out. Need to adapt this technique for my own #writing.

This nonsense gets better and better. A Jacksonville FL company hired by Florida in 2022 to manage disaster relief and some medical consulting is being paid more than their previous 44 contracts combined to supply a work force for this camp. With no known experience of maintaining such a thing.

THIS!!!

Here's a funny.

I asked a fellow media tie-in writers for a description of character X.

Nearly all of them pointed me back to my own story from 10 yrs ago not realizing I was the one who wrote it and it doesn't answer my question. 🤣

Hey! I'm a definitive source now. 😂 #writeSky #SpecFic

I wrote a media tie-in short story back in May and threw everything at the wall. Was terrified it would get slashed to pieces when they sent it to fact check.

Instead, head editor and story editor are both "Love it. Minor typos. Do 1 slight revision and we're golden."

#Squee #writing Aug release

Me, this morning trying to get the kid moving: Get dressed! I have presents for you.

Kid gets excited and dressed quickly: What are my presents?

Me: Here. Two new pairs of glasses! Try them on!

Kid, deflated: Really, Mommy? You call that presents?

😸😸😸😸

OMG. Best horoscope I've read in a while. I really needed the laugh. theonion.com/horoscopes/

Something Forbidden Stirs Deep Within Trump After He Sees Political Cartoon Depicting Him As Chicken WASHINGTON—A warm rush pulsing through his body as he stared at the clean white feathers that covered the rendering of his body, something forbidden reportedly stirred deep within President Donald Tru...

We'll see how this works out.

My kid just created a Do Not Disturb sign for his bedroom door and informed us that when the sign is up, he's in a bad mood and to leave him alone.

I'm inclined to agree with his boundaries because my parents would never have let me get away with this. #parenting

Here's a #throwback. And, yes, I actually still own this. 😹😹

Fact checking department is the most nerve-wracking part of the media tie-in submission process. #writesky

Bursting with berries. Dripping with berries. Something.

So many to pick.

If it does happen, that 1k will be gone in a week for diapers.

😹 So true

I do wish the mosquito joke had made it into the live action, the pet license fee thing, and Pleakly had the whole female presenting thing going on in more than one scene.

"The manager is a vampire."

Watching animated #Lilo&Stitch again. Definitely better than the remake for multiple reasons.

But also now picking up on the anti-colonialism themes I never saw until reviews pointed them out.

I hard core shut down all my devices before bedtime because of my insomnia. No TVs, tablets, computers or cell phones allowed in the bedroom.

Then comes on call week at work and all my efforts go down the drain. 😂😿

Next week I get to retrain my body how to sleep through the night again.

They keep stealing other people's shoes so that they can drop them too.
