Yet another fake literary agency: New Life Creatives Media. Website is more convincing than most, but withers quickly under scrutiny: agent photos and book covers are stolen from Trident Media Group newlifecreativesmediaproduction.com

Sent my first 10 queries out for this and let me tell you…requerying a book after a full rewrite holds a special kind of terror. If any agents out there are interested in a romantasy that’s A Touch of Darkness x Fall of Ruin and Wrath x Lucifer, I’m ya girl. #WritingCommunity #AgentGuide #litagents

The desexualisation of media (everyone is beautiful, and no one is horny) combined with an increasing hysteria around the 'pointlessness' of sex scenes is a key part of the fascistization of western culture and if we're going to fight back we're going to need to make it normal to be horny again.

I'll often repost art outside of ANY fandom I follow just because I like it. Look at that blorbo. I don't know his name, I don't know his deal. Maybe he's a war criminal? Good.

Blog 4/7 about character creation in the @evilhat.bsky.social #PbtA #TTRPG Apocalypse Keys! This one stars The Doctor from #DoctorWho. It's also probably the easiest case I'll make for why the example character qualifies as an Omen-class monster Read it here: www.calenmirsrpgs.com/blog/how-to-...

One really useful thing I learned during my writing journey is to see writing as craft: Writing is a skillset that needs constant honing. You have to keep on writing. If you don't use your creative muscle, it will weaken. The plagiarism machine cannot do this for you. #writing #writingcommunity

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too. Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.
