My husband just compared the way information is watered down and distorted as AI scrapes and recycles it to the movie Multilplicity and said, "soon we're all going to be stuck with Steve."

Maybe I've been writing for so long that I see plots where they don't exist, but I wonder if this whole AI Witch Hunt might be for the purpose of fatiguing writers so deeply that we all just quit fighting it. IF writers were fatigued to this point it wouldn't be their fault.

This AI scandal is a sign to the rest of us to be vigilant about protecting yourself by documenting the previous versions of your MS with time stamps. There are also free (with character limits) tools that record you typing in real time & show if you've used AI. What a time to be an artist.

These are the DND, MTG, comic con, story-loving folks I'd call if I got good news. They'd celebrate the hardest. They'd hide me in the soft protection of their love if I needed to heal. For decades, they've listened to me dream out loud about being published & never shamed me for continuing to try.

I’m so excited to share the beautiful cover for my new book, Across the Earth and Sky! 🥳😍📚 It is absolutely gorgeous and I’m so thrilled! A huge thank you to designer Erica Lucke Dean and Red Adept Publishing! ✨ Coming September 8, 2026! ✨ redadeptpublishing.com/product/acro...

I have a four-hour flight in two days. I'm good on books. What's a movie that knocked your socks off recently? Thoughts on Disclosure Day?

Circe's scene was chef's kiss. Circe's justification for turning the men is key to enlightening Odysseus to the source of societal collapse: men using "the quest" as permission to act out their true desires.

I just finished a big MS revision then turned around and wrote my first ever screenplay while building a house and selling another and I just wanted someone to know about it.

We got our ultrasound today. It's a girl.

Up against a scene where the easy way out is an exposition dump. But we are writers. Easy is for everyone else. 🫠 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #FantasyWriter

Here are a few things I've made recently. It made my heart lighter to make them, and I hope it makes your eyes happy to view them.

Worked up the courage to dive into a novel I wrote more than 10 years ago, and I am half way through edits and OMG this is so dang good, y'all. Don't give up on those drawer books. They may just need time for you to grow and believe in yourself!

Them: Are you ready for school to start? Me: ⬇️

Guys. I'm making something.

I'm repurposing a canvas I painted for my classroom 7 yrs ago. Stay tuned to see the finished product.

Hey friends, don't forget to stretch, drink water (however you can get it down) sleep guilt-free when you need it, get sunlight, belly breath (just try it; you won't regret it), and do something good for your body every day. We need to stay strong in order to be the good.

I received an email from a former Creative Writing student saying she'd self published. I GUSHED with praise. Then they followed up to say they "wrote" it with AI & are selling it on Amazon. They were my student long before the potential of AI was realized. I was gentle, but I had to be honest.

Here's Edna and Carl's reaction when I told them that I finished writing my 21st book today. (I should probably leave the house more often.) #writing #writersofbluesky

Am I the only one #wickedpit has disappeared for? Was it canceled?

Guys. I'm 48 pages away from finishing this revision, and is it okay to say I love it so much?

Help!! Our new Sphinx kitten scurried under the wall and is hiding under the tub. We can't reach her. How do we get her out?

Just saw Superman in IMAX and loved it! The parallels. The message. The theme of empathy. Chef's 💋!

For the literary agents following us, we have a new feed for Querying writers for #BluePit tomorrow! Feeds don't require a BlueSky account to view, so if others at your agency are not on BlueSky they can check out the pitches too! bsky.app/profile/did:... #LitAgents #LiteraryAgent #AmAgenting

Yes, we also have a Starter Pack of them here: go.bsky.app/UzNMwUV So caught up in the pre-event we're running we missed UnhingedPit's announcement. But we try. 😅

What readers didn’t say about this #Q #A #R: – No plot or stakes (+ implausible) – Can’t connect with the MCs (+ zero chemistry) – 🌶️ is mild (+ cringe & boring) – No sense of time/place (+ Berlin is dull) – Terrible writing (esp. stiff dialogue & flat descriptions) #UnhingedPit

🧃Anti-Pitch🧃 Not for agents who want closure, kindness, or knowing who the villain is. If you want healing, hope, or heroines—turn back. This one’s for the voyeurs. The ones who celebrate friendship curdling. No one calls for help as the soft horror unfolds. It doesn’t end well. #unhingedpit #T #Q
