🏳️🌈📚👽🕷 Author of speculative fiction, in love with the far future, the distant past and somethings that become someones. I'm a mobile safe space. Et oui, j'ai aussi un autre nom! 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇬🇧
Humanity's most embarrassing First Contact was stepping into the sloth-like Anknas' air locks. We discovered too late that we'd misinterpreted up & down in their video format: It only LOOKED like they stood in their artificial gravity; actually, they were hanging from their ceilings. #MicroFiction
Hey all you Ayn Rand fans out there! Hypocrite-much? LOOK at Trump's 'ballroom'! What would Howard Roark do to it? Oh, I dissect Rand in details you never saw elsewhere, if you have the guts. www.davidbrin.com/nonfiction/a...
I'm trying Liberapay as an alternative to the more commercial support platforms. It's like ko-fi or BuyMeACoffee, but open source and not-for-profit. I've felt a bit like a dancing monkey trying to constantly produce tier rewards when I could just be writing. #frjosom liberapay.com/garrett-maca...

He felt cheated in not seeing dead PEOPLE, only dead CATS. He felt if he could just understand their ghostly meows, he could help with their unfinished business, allowing them to rest in peace. However, he couldn't, so his life was a constant chorus of incomprehensible kitty cries. #MicroFiction
Those slipping into nearby universes wondered why their own seemed surrounded by evil, demonic realms—never even considering that their seemingly "good" reality might, in fact, be the font, emanating cruelty and avarice in all multidimensional directions. #FlashFiction #MicroFiction
Her name was Biscuit L'Amour, and she had spent her long, illustrious life endeavoring to fill the role people imagined when they heard her name. #FlashFiction #MicroFiction

Can we stop calling it the "Big Bang" and instead call it the "Hot Mess?"
Happy Marine Corps Birthday to my fellow jarheads, devildogs, and crayon eaters. 🦅 🌎 ⚓️
An authors job is to use 26 letters of the alphabet to make readers hallucinate. How cool is that? I mean seriously coooollll. 📚💙
#Novmemeber This one, and the other "cat fail" memes, feel like so many of my days. But I think it's the "Wile E. Coyote-ness" of this one that always gets me—and the total investment in the attempt.

It could be a specific one-of-a-kind meme, or a meme genre/template (Surprised Pikachu, Pointing Spiderman, etc). It's like they say: the memes are the window to the soul 🥸 Remember to add alt text to your image.

After patiently gathering intel for decades—literally right under our noses!—the table-shaped aliens made their move. #flashfiction (This one feels like a Far Side comic.)
Dropping and breaking the newly made object—which would have become a priceless treasure by his day—the time traveler discovered that you can SEE when one Time-Line splits from another. He watched as HIS universe veered away from him like a train on different track. #FlashFiction

For generations, we have hunted and raised our families where the two planes meet. But the Kaiju also live here! Do not let a Kaiju see you. They will scream their terrible screams. They will chase you. They will crush you. For they have an irrational fear of spider kind. #flashfiction

Part of why I started writing is because some of my favorite authors are gone and will never write another story. Therefore, one way getting to experience the joy I felt reading their books is to write, myself, stories containing those elements I find so fascinating and engaging. #AmWritingSciFi

I am a successful writer because I decided to be.
Do you consider yourself a writer who is not “successful”? Setting aside the discussion about what makes one “successful,” the truth is that if you don’t consider yourself such, then you’re no…

Just heard, "It means the same thing but doesn't have the same meaning." I love words.
"You may call me Ally," the stranger declared. "I fight for your cause!" "You are not one of us. Begone!" Later, the sounds from the distant darkness—the stranger's dying screams—fed them grim satisfaction. They all died the following dawn, for lack of one additional defender. #flashfiction
I've used a couple in my writing: penumbra, susurrus, and iridescent. #booksky #writingcommunity #writers
No AI was used in the creation of these cover designs, nor in the image created here. All work was done using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and licensed texture images from iStock. The covers and the setting were realized by @arthurbreur.com. #Fantasy #SchoolOfMagic #Publishing #FantasySeries
These four books—which will all be published by Breur Media on set dates between April 30 and Halloween, 2027—are about an alternative, inclusive school of magic, and together act like a "Season 1" of the Tales of Olta… #BookSky #Fantasy #SchoolOfMagic #Publishing
We're proud to give you a preview of the cover designs for Brett Edward Stout's "The Tales of Olta" dark fantasy series, starting with "The Demon in the Dark"—which is scheduled for release April 30, 2027… @brettedwardstout.com #BookSky #Fantasy #SchoolOfMagic #Publishing
