Dor Cosby Atkinson - querying The Mythos Game on Feb 14 🏹🤖💘

Definitely! We will check it out!

"We must not allow ourselves the luxury of surprise. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power." - Timothy Snyder, March 8, 2026

My antagonist is the CEO of Mythos Corp. Picture Ariana Grande as Glinda with a scalpel. Work IS play, and that involves teetering around on sparkly pink heels while replacing a victim's organic parts with circuitry. In the end, ta-da! Myth-based cyborg 🔱🤖🩷

I think everyone should probably stop what they're doing and look at @kameronhurley.com's adorable duck posts. I'm up coughing at 4 am, and it's all my brain wants or needs right now. #writingcommunity

Thx for the encouragement, @billeisele.bsky.social! 🥲

Looking forward to kicking this dastardly illness so I can do things like work, talk, write, and query again.

Oh, and breathe deeply... without dissolving into a wheezing, coughing, aching, so I can't rest, ocean floor creature.

Below, actual footage of me.

#amquerying... next week?

Okay, you're officially more hardcore than me, @billeisele.bsky.social, because I haven't even watched the original anime. 😆I've only watched the live-action version! And @sjmontgomery.bsky.social, I'm also eagerly awaiting Season 2! I'm obsessed with rebels, so I love all these pirate narratives.!

Yes, I would say it definitely has a corny edge. And that makes perfect sense now that you say that!

"...two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president." - Timothy Snyder, Feb 28

Okay, good to know. Thank you!

I resonate with your posts because all MGs and YAs I've written feature MCs leading rebellions.🔥How do you feel about YA dystomance / sci-fi? Mythology?

I have a YA dystomance / myth retelling I'll be sending your way shortly.

This is tomorrow, folks! A great opportunity to see who's looking for a book like yours. 🤖🏹💘 #amquerying #kidlit

a man with long hair and a beard is looking up at something in the dark . Alt: The actor who plays Sandokan, with long hair and a beard, is looking up at something.

Is anyone else watching Sandokan? Okay, the writing feels kind of predictable, but somehow it has managed to hold our attention up to the end. Even with the large amounts of eyeliner and heavy-handed theme song, it's pretty entertaining!

P.S. Speaking of pirates, @billeisele.bsky.social...! 🏴‍☠️

Met a new pal at a party last night. It still happens in America! Bonded over post-apocalyptic fiction and we agreed to swap recommendations. Made me think of all the literary folks here and I would love to get more recommendations! #BookSky Here's my personal fave list:

She was amazing! You can't fake joy like this 🧡

Oh yeah, I should check that out! I'm still so unaware of fun things happening on Bluesky, even though I've been on here a couple of years.

I love the weeknight writers concept, because most of my writing gets done 9:30 pm - 1 am! (But it's best if I go to sleep by midnight. 😅) I'm about to start querying a #dystopian #YA but I also write #MG.

The laws in my MC's city force citizens with no tech in their bodies into a fenced-in slum. Like clones, they're limited in the type of jobs they can access.

If you commit a crime, you're bound to end up in cyber-cells which are absolutely no fun at all.
