Happy update! I am now officially of the Cambridge Science Fiction Workshop. Apparently, I didn't scare them off with my postpartum changeling ghost story. This is very much feels like a little fish in a big pond moment for me in the best way.

I was invited to audition for an open spot in an SFFH writing group that is populated by some seriously talented authors. Just sent them my audition story, and I am nervous as hell about it. Imposter Syndrome is hitting me so hard right now.

Tell Congress to Oppose an AI Regulation Ban

Recently procured a TZ Audio Stellar X2 Vintage microphone. Gotta say, I’m kind of loving how it handles my voice.

The best response to the White House’s new BlueSky “troll” account is to actively seek it out and block it. Preemptively deny the $h!tbags an audience. Close the door in their faces, so to speak. It’s not like the account is going to share anything even remotely useful.

Have you heard about the new Royalty Share model Audible is implementing? The race to the bottom is accelerating, and Audible is hoping no one notices their "bait & switch" tactics. (p.s. The video isn't about Brandon Sanderson) #audible #audiobooks #authors

New audiobook sample recorded, processed, and posted up on ACX today. That brings me up to 4 samples posted. Not sure how many is ideal, but I'm starting to build up a decent library, I think.

Yep. Publishers are WELL AWARE of this, too, otherwise they wouldn't bother with *any* book tours or ad campaigns. If they think something won't move the needle, they don't fork out.
It's just that they only want to give those things to the authors who they want to sell well. *shrug*

Word of mouth is awesome. Enthusiastic nerds on social media can move mountains occasionally. But a decent book tour or ad campaign would move a mountain faster.

This was the Salem Willows pier Friday evening. The next morning it was empty of people but bits of fishing line of varying lengths were strewn everywhere. People come to fish, to enjoy the ocean’s bounty, yet they have no appreciation or gratitude for its gifts. Absolutely shameful. #dobetter

A great ReaderCon this year! Amazing panels & discussions. Great hallway conversations. Fantastic authors & editors. The Karaoke party was pretty rad too, from what I heard. Great to reconnect with friends. Sorry if I missed you. We'll get another chance next year.
