Chapter 10 - Welcome to JKB's - The Revision of Lorem Ipsum [Urban Romantasy]

Putting aside the myriad issues of producing gen AI, that it's shown how many folks are incurious, lazy and utterly willing to sacrifice their ingenuity and creativity because they no longer seek to think for themselves is depressing. Truly, want more for yourself. Want better.
Starting the messy process of plotting book 3 of my Prophets of Nexus trilogy. In some ways it feels easier because I know what threads I'm working with, but in most ways it feels way more complicated to have to tie up all those loose ends! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky
The horrors are that we just donated a ton of booka, and there are more stacks scattered around the house. So, not exactly "arrange" which implies some artfulness and consideration. My books are tetris-ed.
Immigrant Punk@porcupunk.eurosky.social · last wk.Enough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?
LOOK LOOK LOOK I got another piece of character art from @dominolucky.bsky.social !! Introducing Silvia, one of two main protagonists in The Firstborn's Legacy, book 2 of my Prophets of Nexus trilogy. I can't wait for you guys to meet her. #OCArt #OC #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Kristin is incredible. I highly recommend her for any character art. It's been so cool to SEE the characters from my books, and she just nails it every time <3
Kristin 🌙@dominolucky.bsky.social · last mo.Opened two emergency comm slots. Heavily discounted from the normal cost of this type of illustration. It’s going to get so hot I can’t work past today for I don’t know how long without AC, and I still need to cover rent as well as have ANY chance of fixing my car to keep working. #commission
Chapter 9 of my urban romantasy serial just dropped! Read for free on Royal Road or my website! In this chapter, Lorem chooses to do the hard thing, because anything is better than turning around and facing her reality. #RoyalRoad #Serial #Romantasy buff.ly/SZA6DMW

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere
The main character of The Last Firstborn is blind unless he's seeing a prophecy. I am partially blind, but it was an interesting challenge to write from the POV of a fully blind character. #SFFChat

Sometimes, things just aren’t for you. Doesn’t require your immediate condemnation or a guillotine. Doesn’t require dismissal or immediate reprisal. Just ain’t for you, dawg. And that’s fine.
I have always felt uncomfortable in my own skin, especially when having to "perform" gender. As a teen and YA, I blamed it on the depression. I didn't find out that agender was even an option until I was like 30.
✨💜 king 💜✨@king-reinhardt.bsky.social · 3w agoI'm always so curious about when trans and nonbinary folks realized what they were. Like, my wife didn't realize she was genderfluid until well into her twenties, but I knew I wasn't a girl or a boy before I was even ten years old.
Read chapter 1 of THE LAST FIRSTBORN for free now! buff.ly/RpkJJKO This project was featured on many a #WIPSnips and it feels very weird to be sharing it again but as a finished piece. #Dystopian #Fantasy #WriteSky #Booksky #Freebie
In writing too! Looking back on things I wrote even just a few years ago is weird. I see so many things I'd like to fix, paragraphs that should flow differently, descriptions that feel basic now. I'm trying to take this as a sign that I've improved rather than an opp to shit on my old work 😆
Helen Whistberry@whistberry.bsky.social · 4w agoIt's kind of wild (in a fun way) to revisit old art that you remember thinking was really hot stuff when you drew it, and now it looks very primitive. The leaps in skill you can make through practice and determination are super rewarding. Enjoy the journey 💜
Listening to some of my favourite songs whilst reading posts about AI 'products'. The contrast between real human art and disposable occupiers of space/absorbers of money is reigniting the memory of the white dog shit on the pavement in the 80s. You may think it's doing the job, but it isn't.
