Pensé que era broma. Siempre pienso que es broma cuando se trata de ella. Nunca aprendo la lección.

the fact that everyone says franchise instead of series nowadays is so insidious

I am wary of religious people because religious talk, in my experience, has been a prelude to violence.

No. It is always ethically indefensible to use this stuff in any way. It lines the pockets of billionaires, steals from other artists, ravages the environment, guts creative fields, and stunts your own development.

In your opinion, is it ever okay to use AI as part of the writing process (e.g. brainstorming ideas, creating an outline)?

What are your thoughts on Martyrs by Pascal Laugier?

Rechazaron mi manuscrito en el FCE. Así es como recuerdo que mandé manuscrito al FCE. Ojalá dieran razones más específicas para el rechazo, pero entiendo. Así es esto y seguimos escribiendo. Agradezco la oportunidad.

Me he dado cuenta de que cuando no estoy medicada escribo cuento y poesía. Cuando estoy medicada intento escribir novela. Eso revela algo, pero vete a saber tú qué será.

Every day in Gaza is a struggle for survival. Sama'a and her husband have a baby and a toddler to protect and feed, and they need our help to do it. Please give what you can.

I sometimes think that if you believe you have enough material for a novel, you actually have enough material for a short story. People write pages and pages of nothing these days.

This cringe prejudice is killing camp.

Every time I come across a TikTok author, they present themselves as if what they truly want is to be Taylor Swift or something. They are sometimes functionally illiterate, and their books show it.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

The Happiness of the Katakuris is up to pre-order!

A musical horror comedy film from by Takashi Miike asks the question... What does happiness look like & would you kill for it?

And if you would, what about singing & dancing?

I feel like science fiction and historical fiction are very similar. If done well, there is a point where they meet. For the past and the future are always there, just out of the corner of our eyes.

I find it a sickening act of censorship that DC comics fired Gretchen Felker-Martin for exercising free speech. And, to top it off, @bsky.app decided to cowardly suspend her account. This is not right and should be remedied immediately.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

I find it interesting who you consider worth it of your thoughts by naming them. Like Le Guin taught us, naming is power.

Violence is always unacceptable, and threats of violence have no place in public discourse. Our thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

I think the discourse around R. F. Kuang is actually hilarious.
