Tragically unhip Dutch-Canadian stranded in the Netherlands. A little bit writer, a little bit rock & roll. A lot ADHD. Boomer, but not the kind with money. 🚫 AI. #SoA One of Pamela Des Barres' Electric Ladies! https://tinyurl.com/mruve4cw
WIP is with betas, deadline a week Monday. Heard back from 4 already! Then, final revisions, proofreading, polishing the query package & diving into the query trenches by the end of Sep. Then, finish fast-drafting WIP 2: I have a rockstar to bring back from the dead who deserves an HEA! #SumLuv
📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 5h agoSo...where's this going, #SumLuv ?? 🧡 What's next for you and your work? If you've been chatting about a WIP, what's the plan for it when it's finished? What's your next project? Are you waiting on any news? Will we stay like this forever? 🧡
Aw, c'mon Chalk. You really expect this demographic to stand for 4 hours for 2 bands?

Let me say this one more time as I don’t think it’s sticking: • if you use gen AI • if you support gen AI • if you repost those who use it because you don’t care I will block you. Don’t follow me. Don’t email me. Don’t expect book promo from me. THIS IS LIKE MY ONE AND ONLY HARDLINE RULE, FFS.
Man does this bring back memories of my son listening to the BBC Radio 1 countdown online, when I first met @mandobanjoman.bsky.social & moved to the Netherlands.
Trash Theory@trashtheory.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW VIDEO: Most likely the last time I'll dive into the UK charts looking for weirdo number one singles, this time the spotlight is shone on the first decade of the 2000s. Of course Bob The Builder and Crazy Frog are there, but what else? Watch to find out:

Saturday morning, hotel in Brighton. Absolutely knacked. Checking out the Mod Weekend Market later, but otherwise being blobs, reading our books (he, a CSN bio, me, Cher's memoir which I highly recommend!) Resting up for the Small Fakers gig tonight.
Today in "you got what you deserved relying on AI." Must admit it got it right for once though.

Production Companies, Literary Agents, Foreign Languages: AI-Driven Scams Continue to Morph - Writer Beware
When I first began reporting on the aggressive AI-driven email scams that have been plaguing the Inboxes of authors everywhere for well over a year now, they were limited to marketing scams offering supposedly expert “visibility” for writers and their books. In the year-plus since then, the scams have adapted and expanded in response toRead More

Remembering Anne “Honey” Lantree who would have been 83 today.
Here's another so-called beta reader who can't read to proactively block. They were commenting on a post by a literary agency sharing a Writers Digest article.

In this week's Hot Goss: an agent launches an IP company, asks her clients to write for it, then uses TikTok to call her critics losers because YOLO. Part 2 of our series on book bans and boycotts.

First heard this on 1050 CHUM in the back seat of Dad's green station wagon as we drove to my Nana's house in Toronto on one of our summer road trips from Thunder Bay. 10-year-old me gobsmacked, as always, by the skyscrapers. This song is Toronto to me.
