A few very pointed thoughts on "that" op-ed from the HWA newsletter: An organization with a published anti-AI statement should know better than to publish an inflammatory, antagonistic, racist, poorly researched, poorly argued, pro-AI op-ed in their newsletter. I have seen the statements that...
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! This cover by @christinogle.bsky.social has my jaw on the floor! And the book sounds killer! 🖤🖤🖤
Christi Nogle@christinogle.bsky.social · 8h agoCover reveal: THE DEVIL'S JUSTICE IN NEW ARONA, coming in October from @moanariafc.bsky.social and @demagoguepress and @paippolito.bsky.socia! I drew the illustration with a Rotring Isograph technical pen on Bristol paper, adding the text and white lines by hand using Artstudio Pro on an iPad.
Wow. Sending this out was a choice. Rather disappointed in the HWA right now. Like WTF?
Holly Lyn Walrath@hollylynwalrath.bsky.social · 22h agoThere is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.
Another banger of a meal, thanks to Bryant Terry - roasted potatoes with cabbage over carrot puree topped with a homemade ginger-habanero vinegar. Boom!

Hetty Lui McKinnon's recipes always hit! Charred cabbage in a tomato-based coconut curry with chickpeas. Nom nom nom! (This is from her Tenderheart cookbook, which I basically want to make everything from.)
I had the best coffee date with these lovely ladies this morning! Friend time is good for the soul. 🥰🥰🥰
THE CELLAR BELOW THE CELLAR by @ivygrimes.bsky.social I love pretty much everything Ivy writes, but this might be my favorite yet. A fairy tale with challenging themes that feel truly collectivist, in a way that is almost alien to the average American. Lots of voice and relatable anxiety.

Callie is a dream girl! I took this sweet pup on a walk this morning, and she is lovely. Adventurous, confident, and made to sniff all the smells. It was a joy to give her ear scratchies and belly rubs. Callie's waiting for you at Pasadena Humane! Go meet her! ♥️🐾
What a privilege it is to sit next to a friend during their very first screening of Jaws. Sean was not prepared for how hard this movie goes! 😂🦈
I was feeling ambitious during our art lunch date today. Pretty stoked with how this turned out!
As much as I *love* writing in second person, sometimes, it just doesn't work for the story I'm trying to tell. I started converting a story from second to third person this afternoon, and it's working. Clicking into place. Stronger characterization. So relieved I don't have to scrap it. 😊
"Writers have been using me long before AI. I am the punctuation equivalent of a cardigan—beloved by MFA grads, used by editors when it’s actually cold, and worn year-round by screenwriters. I am not new here. I am not novel. I’m the cigarette you keep saying you’ll quit."

Guess who's returning to @midsummerscream.bsky.social! I'll be hanging with the LA chapter of the Horror Writers Association on Saturday, August 8th, 4-7pm. Swing by our booth to learn about the HWA, browse our books, and chat about horror writing. See you there, darklings! 🖤🖤🖤😈😈😈
I have something very, very cool to share on Monday. Get ready! 🤘🖤🦇
Cover reveal and preorder announcement for LONESOME AND FESTERING! I adore the art for my next collection, and I hope it inspires folks to pick up the book. Immensely proud of these stories. See details in the quoted post!

One of my most anticipated releases of the year, because @rjacksonjoseph.bsky.social's work is inimitable! I am so ready, but also completely unprepared. 🫣👀😈 I know what I'm reading next! 🖤🖤🖤
Humid LA + lifting weights at home + a little natural wave in my hair = chaotic frizz and curls, but they're MY chaotic frizz and curls, so it's all good. 💪😂
Not all art has to be good. What matters is it's true. Or playful. Or energetic. Or striving. That's why sometimes we love things labeled bad. And maybe we encounter them at just the right intersection of time & growth where something ridiculous is made profound only in the privacy of our heart.
Do crime. Fall in love. Fight for what you believe in. Something book-shaped this way comes! Keep an eye on this space, and sharpen those fangs, friends. 🦇
