Closing out the week with not one but two exciting TV things signed!? Sometimes everything just decides to randomly align and it feels like nothing short of a SERIES of miracles 💛 I’m (exhausted but) so bloody THRILLED! 🥂

Me with champagne, so tired but so happy lol

🎉 It’s here! Loved writing this book about a goofy dragon discovering snow, hiding (rather poorly) from nosy townsfolk, and leaving dancing, clawy snow-prints EVERYWHERE😂❄️ Thanks so much to the lovely team at Oxford and, as always, to my brilliant agent Lydia Silver @da-childrens.bsky.social!

EXECUTIVE OF AI STARTUP: (smiles serenely) we get people to kill their dogs

A woman in the audience asked if VERA followed up to make sure her diagnosis had been right. The CEO leaned an elbow on the podium. "I'll tell you a story," he said. A woman wrote to VERA about her elderly dog, who was having diarrhea. "Your dog is at the end of his life," said VERA. "I recommend euthanasia." The woman was beside herself. She told VERA she wasn't ready to say goodbye. Her dog was her only companion. VERA knew the woman's location. She sent a list of nearby clinics that could get the job done. Still, the woman was unconvinced. Euthanasia was so expensive. She'd never be able to afford it. VERA sent another list, this time of nearby shelters. "If you relinquish your dog to a shelter, they will euthanize him at no cost," she said.

On its 4th anniv, I'm reposting for bsky my most popular Twitter thread: a defense of the "inactive protagonist," which birthed the essay below, in exactly the way it was written. But first I need to contextualize how and why it was written. psychopomp.com/fantasy/augu... +

We Are the Mountain: A Look at the Inactive Protagonist - PSYCHOPOMP.COM

Let me take you through the anatomy of an active protagonist, one that everyone can relate to. We’ll make our protagonist—we’ll call him John—young and healthy, male, of humble origins (perhaps he’s f...

My Genre Grapevine report on "AI and the Enshittification of Life" is out. I spent a year wading through the slop of generative artificial intelligence to show what happened with the programs in 2024, how they affect artists and writers, and where we go from here. 1/2 www.patreon.com/posts/ai-and...

🎉Ghee Happy has been nominated for an EMMY AWARD🏆! Congratulations to Sang Lee, Sanjay Patel & the stellar crew! The show's been through quite a journey & I'm so proud and grateful to have been part of it. We sent cool, gorgeous Indian myths into the void...and they actually found a place!💛

As I’ve been saying for over a year: If your business model doesn’t work without violating the law, you’re not in business — you’re in organized crime. Great reporting by @elainelow.bsky.social. theankler.com/p/tv-writers...

TV Writers Found 139,000 of Their Scripts Trained AI. Hell Broke Loose

It's 'organized crime,' says one, as scribes from Shonda Rhimes to Robert King face a system where studio policy and law remain murky

Wanting to focus on writers who don’t have social media so far as I’m aware: I’m always baffled more SFF folk haven’t read Elwin Cotman, whose 2020 collection DANCE ON SATURDAY really blew me away. Here’s a gift link to my review of it.

Power and Passage: New Science Fiction and Fantasy (Gift Article)

A story collection offers a cleareyed survey of the Black American experience, and a debut novel traverses hundreds of versions of Earth.

Hey animation people! Here's some animation writers to follow! I mostly tried to keep to people who have been active recently! I hope this is helpful. I'm not an animation writer but these are people who I've followed or connected with or recommended by writer friends. ❤️ go.bsky.app/EmUwvfL
