but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

#sffchat outro - Sharing Hero at Heart, my upcoming #fantasy #RobinHood #retelling set in the #zombie #apocalypse, releasing July 22. It's my pinned post, but also you can #preorder it here: amzn.to/43ulhcu

#sffchat Q 4 - Okay, I used this snip from my #spaceopera Thief of Gods for a different writing prompt, but abusive religion is a prominent theme in this book. In this scene, Jaska debates a lowly monk. #sff #scifi #amwriting #booksky

#sffchat Q3 - Rebecca Roanhorse, Nnedi Okorafor, Bishop O'Connell, Ray Bradbury, Kate Chopin...so, so many.

#sffchat Intro - I'm Margaret. I write a variety of genres, including sf and f. I wrote lots of stories as a kid, but the first book I wrote was a fae shifter fantasy romance and while it was mediocre at best, I still love the premise and hold onto the hope I can fix it someday. #sff #scifi

#sffchat Q2: Just saw this come up in my feed. Themes I return to, either purposely or accidentally, include (but are not limited to) the danger of religions, feminism, classism and power dynamics...you know, all the easy, breezy light fare. #sff #scifi #amwriting #booksky

#wipsnips May 22 - In this snip from early in my #spaceopera Thief of Gods, if Jaska thinks he can get rid of Miklos as his problems that easily, he has another thing coming. #scifi #sff #amquerying #booksky #writesky

#wipsnips May 22 - In this snip from my #fantasy Hero at Heart, Robyn et al are in retreat mode having just escaped a nasty situation. #RobinHood #retelling #zombie #apocalypse #fairytale #indie #books #booksky

This is what you’re doing to people when you use AI for bullshit

#wipsnips May 21 - This is the one and only instance of "prophet" in Hero at Heart, my upcoming #fantasy #RobinHood #retelling, and it's really out of context, but it falls somewhere near the beginning of the third act. #zombie #apocalypse #fairytale #indie #books #booksky

#wipsnips May 21 - In this snip from my #spaceopera Thief of Gods, Rohun shares a little of her back story. #scifi #sff #amquerying #booksky #writesky
