Grammarly Forgot to Mention Something in Its Giant Apology That Changes the Whole Story Grammarly failed to mention in its apology that the company wasn't just dealing with hundreds of furious writers β€” it was facing litigation.

I could go on and on about hubris and entitlement but I think I’ll just leave it at-

Composer Sergei Rachmaninov gazes pensively with a finger to his cheek on the cover of an album of his solo piano works.

Because I’m reading @pfracassi.bsky.social Gothic and because I’m highly impressionable I’m writing to Rachmaninov this morning.

THE SMALL HOURS by Bob Pastorella

THE SMALL HOURS by Bob Pastorella

My splatterpunk vampire novel THE SMALL HOURS, published by @ghoulish.bsky.social, is ready to sink its fangs into you.

Get your neck bit here: ghoulish.rip/product/the-...

Amazing cover art by @bettyrocksteady.bsky.social

It's funny, it's horny, and it's very, very bloody!

I think the hardest part about writing your second novel is that you still don't know how to write a novel but you do know how hard it is.

Notes are a fucking gift!
They mean someone read your work and liked it enough to want to help you make it even better and reach a wider audience. πŸ–€πŸŽ

salmon/cotton candy pink background with a book cover and a cover blurb on it:

book cover:a very washed out/faded picture of a lit-up ferris wheel in a hazy summer sunset, with "Amusement Park Arcana" over it in black writing.

Jennifer R. Donohue is at the bottom.

cover blurb: Riley's best friend Tara went missing last October from the shitty amusement park where she worked. By spring, the police are no closer to having any answers, so Riley's taking it in her own hands.

 She just knows Tara's still at the park somewhere, and an uncanny phone call on Riley's first day as a park employee only confirms that. The quest to bring Tara or her body home draws Riley further from her family and her boyfriend as she spends more time in the park's liminal spaces and opening day looms large.
