So uh... we was robbed! No really 😅 Couple scammers last night made off with a little cash, not even into triple figures, not a huge deal, we'll live. But my poor wonderful staff did not deserve that experience. So if you come by the shop this week, please be extra lovely to my people?

TBH the whole “AI is going to kill us all and must be slowed to save humanity” thing feels hella manufactured to me as an attempt to convince everyone AI is actually more then just a useless answer-bot that lies and steals stuff so they can stop the bubble popping and putting them out of business

If I can write 1600+ words in a fugue state at 2am after a single interaction with a woman with a cute smile, you can stop using Claude and learn to code for yourself

The writerly urge to clean your keyboard/procrastinate in any way possible when you're midway through a sprint 😂

Just a reminder for anyone who needs to hear it, any amount of books is good, given that number is greater than zero Read at your own pace, as many or as few as you can/want 💙📚

Welp, a whole week earlier than anticipated, I'm sitting down to my first "Wednesdays Are For Writing/Me" day, as Tiny decided she wanted to join Small at dance camp today and I've just dropped them both off 😭

on a completely related note, i also have little inserts that can go in thr dice! i have 9 different fruits (can make lemonade dice) and little roses. i plan on getting tiny pumpkins and ghosts for spooky season :) ko-fi.com/cynthos/comm... #kofishop #koficommission #handmade #dice #ttrpgdice

shares appreciated! offering my sensitivity reader services for authors who need them! i’ve worked with all big 5 publishing houses! i read for: • filipino and filipino-chinese representation • bisexual, nonbinary, and lesbian representation • fat/body positivity representation (1/2)

And so we come to the final Yorkshire @britfantasysoc.bsky.social event of the year! Only two weeks to go so let me introduce you to the wonderful authors!

When your timeline is filled with queer folks and brown/Black people singing the praises of and loudly mourning a 1940s-Tennessee-born white Boomer lady, welp. She was pretty goddamn extraordinary, you can assume.

Last day individually at home with my youngest kid Tiny today before she starts school next week 🥲

#WIPSnips - "Panic" It does not at all surprise me that of the 4 instances of panic in #Heart-Taker, 3 come from Jasper's POV 😂 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

How would you describe your mind? 1. malevolent fog 2. whirling cloud of bats 3. lightning storm 4. weirdly haunted forest

Turning emotion into art is one of the most human things you can do.

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

Penultimate week of the summer vacation. I get Wednesdays to myself for writing from 9/9

The Thorns We Wear Inside by Amy Avery is perfect if you like your stories to sink their teeth into you. Follow a witch and a monster with parasitic demons who’ll stop at nothing to keep them apart 🥀 Request this dark romantic fantasy on NetGalley or Edelweiss!

Today! If you're in Central #Ohio, come see me. But not yet. As I am not there yet. I haven't even had coffee yet. Come when the event actually is.

S. Morgan Burbank | Project Tasman Releases Nov. 11@anotherindiewriter.com · 2mo ago

Central #Ohio folks! Tomorrow, come see me and several dozen other authors at the Mid-Ohio Indie Author Book Expo. It's one of my favorite book events to do every year. The organizers are so nice and there's always good food to be found. Noon to 430pm.

Did you know I also have a podcast where I chat with other writing folks about various topics in the world of writing and publishing? Today's episode is with author Solar Hoàng on writing political fantasy! anditswriting.com

...and it's writing.

An irreverent discussion of writing craft.

So, the reason I haven't been around is 1) life stuff and 2) I uttered the phrase "I just have a small idea for (fandom thing)" with inevitable consequences 😂

If creativity is a well, I'm not saying mine's run dry, but we've definitely hit some sludge at the bottom that I'm worried might break the bucket if I try and haul it up to see if there's any water beneath. Trying to find peace with that

The creator of Roger Rabbit (who is 85 years old by the way) is a good sort Crossposted with @openvibe.social

yeah when I see this I'm immediately suspicious and it strongly gives me the ick it also makes me wonder if they view nonbinary people as "quirky women" or "woman lite" any way you slice it, 0/10 do not like

River 🏳️‍⚧️🧿🪬🏳️‍🌈@riverenodian.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I won't lie, every time I see "women and non-binary" I instantly wonder if what they mean is "afab only." Do they accept trans women? *All* non-binary folk? I've yet to see otherwise.

Kinda weird writing Halloween off the back of another heatwave, but this dark night of the soul(s) isn't going to write itself

Also, I made this joke on Instagram and now I can't unsee it.
