So apparently people really like the copyright page to my book, specifically this part. Never shared it here, though. Let’s change that 🥰

I was never that close with my grandmother before she passed (living in different state, whatcha gonna do?) but I feel like it would be odd to talk to someone who you haven’t really seen in god knows how long, didn’t really know and I would have to talk to her FOREVER?
Pass. Sorry grandma.
Pass. Sorry grandma.

Why is it that when I get my book out to the world, Ai is trying to take over and any site I use to promote myself and my books is going to shit?!
Maybe this is some kind of omen from the universe.

So this line no longer exists, a simpler method of travel was found and used.
I’d never thought that the line “Get the blimp and the android!” Would be an actual spoken line of dialogue in any of my major projects and it’s making me laugh.

I wish people would understand this is not a Bluesky exclusive thing. Jumping ship to another site will not do anything and you will be in the same position again and again.
Make your voice heard, don't just keep trying to run away from the problem.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a week. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.

Whenever I feel like my books are trash or just don’t make a lot of sense, I look at the books that are being traditionally published and getting adaptations and I start to feel a bit better :) #booksky

Physical books never stopped being in fashion, even with younger readers. I strongly suspect this is in no small part due to books being a common gift, and now Romantasy is getting buyers used to pretty editions with endpapers and sprayed edges.
