Today is an exciting day! I finally have art of each member of my trio! I am very pleased to introduce Mikiva! ❤️ (With special guest appearance from Av'ry. He can never resist the spotlight 😂) @nushdeco.bsky.social did such a fantastic job bringing them to life! 🥰

Scruffy would probably be some sort of pyromaniac otter. 🦦 He's quite animated and is fond of splashing about. He also likes rock (music). #AwesomeCharacters
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Shark Week starts tonight! (Don't laugh I just really like sharks 😂) So in honor of that, what aquatic animal do you associate your character with? A shark, a ray, a whale, a fish? Why? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Why the hell does my fridge need Wi-Fi? It's a fridge! Last thing I need is catching it at 2AM arguing with a toaster in the comments section of an air fryer's video essay.
#SummerOfStories 24 Maybe try showing your writing to someone, and talking to people about writing in general. You can learn and grow a lot that way. It's not as scary as it seems. In fact, it is quite fun. And it gets easier if you practice.

I absolutely love that @nerdictranslator.com could be helped with a book cover and that @nushdeco.bsky.social just happened to want to make one and I helped make that happen. Book cover art producer side quest was awesome. I have a book on my shelf that I helped get art for. Wut. 😆
I'm a firm believer that there are many instances where you don't know someone is capable at something unless you let them try. Heck, they might not even know it themselves, because no one gave them a real chance! Taking chances can be great. It can be the best decision, even
Whenever an article like this comes out, people start talking about Skynet and joking about begging their future AI overlords to spare them. Don't be fooled. There's a marketing angle to this. "Look how terrifyingly advanced our AI is" is a very compelling story to tell investors.
OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched 'unprecedented' cyber-attack
It is one of the first publicly disclosed cyber-attacks carried out by AI without direct human involvement.

I wouldn't be writing today if it weren't for the support and encouragement of my wonderful friends. As for where I found that support? Look into a mirror. It's you, reading this. You are my community. ♥️ #SummerOfStories

#WIPSnips So I do have ‘unfazed’ but it included spoilers so I’m using ‘nonchalant’ for a synonym. -Mel snaps at Amy for being hardheaded, and Amy reluctantly agrees to go along with Eve’s plan #WritingCommunity

Trad publishing has been described to me as an ordeal involving unwanted edits, chapter vivisections, and the dim hope of convincing an agent you even exist. Apparently, even fools know better. Thankfully, I'm merely an idiot, so I'm going to try anyway. 😁 And once I inevitably fail, I'll go indie.
19 | Publishing Q! Have you queried any of your work? Thoughts on trad publishing vs. self-publishing? (Y'all will be real chill with this question, riiiight 😅) #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt
#SummerOfStories Querying fills me with fear and all I’ve done is a couple of short stories. In awe of those who self publish as it looks like so much work. So I’ll keep writing for fun and supporting others. #WriteSky

Sophie began as the answer to a question: Why do we assume thoughtfulness isn't strength? I wanted to write a teenage girl whose strength wasn't measured in punches, but in curiosity. She questions, learns, stays loyal, and keeps going even when she doesn't have all the answers. #SummerOfStories
