1/ I'm frankly a bit baffled by the claims that the Trump/Musk feud is a "sideshow". (Don't even get me started about the claims that it's kayfabe.)

I’ve also now written up a simple contract termination/ rights reversion request to send to your editors, Unbounders. DM if you need it. Not just posting links publicly because it contains peoples’ email addresses

Also use alternatives! Especially when authors are looking to divest from the 'Zon. Some great places would be: - The StoryGraph - Bookbub - Itchio - B&N - Beanstack - Your blog (if you have one) I'm sure there are more out there. Help us out wherever you can review books. Srsly, it's so helpful!

I said in an interview that I have a lot of empathy for John, because he lost his dream, too. But Unbound's sales reports showing my second book as a flop when it actually sold out its print run was unfathomably cruel. Seeing Ingram's data, showing 10x the sales I was paid for, broke my heart.

Is "kill the ones I miss" the most romantic thing that has ever appeared in a fantasy TV show? I would argue yes. And I'm a professional.

DPP is always tight on money, but we support a few causes monthly and QLL is one of them. If you can kick some money their way, I for one def recommend you do some!

The AI discourse is awful. When people think of AI - they obviously think of shitty prompt based generative AI. I'm really hoping that the backlash against the plagiarism machine doesn't harm legitimate uses like translation and communication software and smarter dictation/speech-to-text.

"Astra’s plan is to have that assistant constantly watching, listening, and waiting for its moment to step in." Sometimes it really feels like tech execs are watching sci-fi horror films for inspiration.

I feel like a lot of the political strife I see on my timeline comes down to the word "welcome" and the fight for democracy. I am not going to welcome (invite happily in and embrace as a friend) any Trump voters into my life. But I will accept them into the fight IF they are truly fighting.

Yup. "AI" should be understood primarily as a marketing term designed to impress people who have no understanding of (nor any real interest in understanding) the underlying tools and processes.
