Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

I'll second this. If you're not familiar with nix you should rectify that

Here’s my review of Sabriel, by Garth Nix, a gothic fantasy adventure. In short, my review is this: Do not delay. Read Sabriel now. It is wonderful. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Revising more. Good progress. But more importantly, I’m enjoying typing away again. It doesn’t do me any good to pay attention to anything else.

Wow. One of my favorite things about doing dev editing is seeing a revision really come together. Dear author: 🫡

If all the people who goodreads says want to read my book did … they would be really cool!

Here’s my birthday weekend book pitch. Hope to have two more novels finished this year, maybe one out, and The Long Nights Audiobook ready for the fall. ✌️ (Forgive the horse farm look)

It’s my birthday this weekend. I’m working more on my dragon adventure novel these days. I hope I can introduce everyone to Dannica, Quinn, and Tuco this year 🐉 🤞 Thanks for all your support ♥️

Just finished "Of Shadows, Stars, and Sabers", a @starsandsabers.bsky.social anthology edited by @jendiagammon.bsky.social and @garethlpowell.bsky.social. It's an amazing collection of stories from a great group of authors, which I highly recommend. Looking forward to the next anthology.

Writing more lately and enjoying it again. Nice change of pace, despite it all!

To quote @joshthelibromancer.bsky.social among many: if we can free one, we can free them all.

My name is Silver Claw. And I live to steal stuff. Some steal for gold. Some steal for power. I steal for the challenge. For the thrill of the perfect heist. And today, the new adventure begins. bsky.app/profile/thes... #dnd #TTRPG #Storytelling

I’ll be available for more dev editing in June 📝 #writingcommunity

My Opening Reads of SPFBOX will resume god knows when! 🙌

New review on @sffinsiders.com - Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock. In the first book of the classic fantasy adventure, we get our first glimpse of the albino emperor of the Dreaming City of Imrryr, who will rule the realms of dark fantasy for decades to come. 🔗🧵

I am the PICKIEST audiobook listener and I don’t like at least half of what I find ALREADY. AI narration makes me want to remove my ears and auction them off.

I cannot overstate how bad that is.

Storytelling happens at the level of the word and its inspiration. If you use generative AI to brainstorm ideas or improve your prose, you are less than a writer. Don’t produce content. Make art. Dance. Fly apart. Believe in yourself. This is the joy of living. Become art.

Picked up books by @azaleaforrest.bsky.social and @tommock.bsky.social this morning! What are everyone else's most recent Indie April book buys? Show me, show me! 👀 📚💙

Part of eugenics is wanting disabled people to not be visible to society.

Here’s to my first 50 ratings on goodreads. Cheers ✌️

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

I’ve just finished dev editing someone’s first novel, and it was fantastic. Really a great draft from a talented new writer. The work is so often so gratifying. It’s a pleasure to be of service, and an honor to be trusted with someone’s art. I look forward to sharing their book with you sometime.
