I refuse to link this article but the first line is "human writers are expensive and they eventually die. AI is not." Is anyone considering the fact all AI generated shit is stolen, or that it is almost always inaccurate, or that it kills the environment over there at The Atlantic? OMFG 😡😡😡

Bullshit "article" about AI.

Aug 28-26 | #WIPSnips NEW BOOK. BAD SILAS. I cannot give away the start of the book as it is a major spoiler. But Andrew is having a bad day and his best friend, Aaron, offers to watch his favourite movie and snuggle. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #QueerRomance #TheRomanticTalesSeries

“You hate that movie.” He says with a slight hopeful tone, “You always say how unrealistic it is, even though it is a horror movie and not supposed to be realistic.” I can tell from the tone in his voice he is more happy I suggested it than anything. “You don’t have to… I can just sleep and…” I cut him off, “I said I would watch the movie with you so that’s what I’ll do. You finish your shower and I’ll start making the hot cocoa. We’ll crawl into my bed and watch it. Hey, we’ll even snuggle if you want.” There is a beat of silence, then I hear him sigh, “Yeah. Yeah, actually that sounds really nice, Aaron. I would like that. Everything about it. I think being held right now would make me feel a bit better. I’ll finish up here.”

28 | #SumLuv Theoretically, a HEA would not be necessary for any of my books as I think any readers will enjoy the journey itself. I have thought about having a few tragic endings, which may become a thing still, but most are a HEA, if not at the very least, a HFN.

📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 15h ago

Do you have a favorite variation on the HEA? #SumLuv No need to spoil your own work unless you want to chat about it There are some who might say a HEA is essential to the romance genre. Do you agree?

Another day, Bluesky! Tell me something positive in your life. I had a phone call with a lawyer to talk about drsfting contracts and such! Shit is getting real with this publishing press. 🥳

Silas Summers@silassummersauthor.bsky.social · 2d ago

The world is on fire. Everything sucks. So let's inject some positivity into each other's lives! Tell me something (no matter how small) that was a success today. I found enough spoons to clean the cat litter boxes (full cleanout, I scoop nightly) and clean the water fountains! How about you?

Aug 27-26 | #WIPSnips We are on FULL VIBE MODE today, my friends. Moth is a Bug. Steph, although not a bug, she is *~bugging~* her brother Daxton to come to this party where Daelan will be. Daxton is being a grumpy grump. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #QueerRomance #TheRomanticTalesSeries

She is giving me the sister look, not angry or disappointed, she is giving me the sister look that indicates she worries about me. Fuck, I hate when she does this. “Steph” I draw out her name in a frustrated sigh, “You know I don’t do well at parties. I like the quiet, I like doing my own thing.” “Come on. Please? I promise, it’s not really a party. It’s at the 2nd Avenue Brewery. I’ll distract the girls so they don’t ask you about mindless things and you can talk to Daelan.” She squeezes my hand gently, “Dax, please?”

27 | #SumLuv 1/4 I want to say most of my plots are pretty straight forward. Men Meet > Men Hang Out > Men Fall In Love But how they get there can be pretty different. Daelan and Daxton has a lot of self-doubt and self-discovery that plays a huge part in their story.

📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 2d ago

Be as creative or as straightforward with this as you like, #SumLuv 🧡 I'm partial to a good story arc myself, but 🧡the course of true love never did run smooth🧡

#AwesomeCharacters 1/3 My work features more cats than dogs, due to my undying loyalty to the fluffy feline overlords. I do, however, have a few dogs (or people who act like dogs). - Quest was traded a German Shepard puppy for food at the start of the war. Rex is now fully grown.
