He can’t remember why he tried to kill his AI god; those memories were wiped to quell his rebellious thoughts. But as much as he wants the peace of a new life, forgotten friends and lovers are trying to drag him back to his old one.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Thanks, I think I’ll give it another go. I did read them all back-to-back, so I might have just needed a little time to get over the new setting and the character scatter.

What did you think of DCC #6? I loved the others, but only got a few chapters into #6. I’m wondering if it gets better, or is worth getting through for #7.

Couldn’t be happier with this #10Queries feedback! Thank you, @demimschwartz.bsky.social!

perfect. this is it.

ai is a political project, arguing about its usefulness as an office tool misses the point

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Oh, I'd be too embarrassed at this stage, but I'll keep you in mind for Beta!

First round. This was a NaNoWriMo fever dream. I have an alpha reader ready to go when I’ve finished these edits.

Thanks! Still finishing up some edits!

Thanks! I probably missed a lot of pitches I would have liked too! There was a lot going on!

My writer friend has his book on audible. I read them rather than listened, but I really enjoyed the series. a.co/d/39NbUpB

Wow, thanks! I'll keep you in mind!

When humanity goes extinct, three AI decide to recreate them. Unable to agree on how to improve them, each takes their own planet to make the perfect humans; Kaia is one of those humans, and she’s on the wrong planet.

The sense of place in this is amazing btw. So glad to have had the chance to read it!

Meet the Main Character: Linatta Mosset: curmudgeon, witch, plant-enthusiast, and a secret harborer of a sense of humor. Her best friend is Toad, a cat-shaped familiar with a snarky (but loveable) attitude. Her chronic illness makes life challenging, but her journey is full of heart and humor. Despite a past riddled with heartbreak, she falls in love with a charismatic thief.

Snippet: “Hmph. Really, Linatta? I chose you for your good sense, and only a ridiculous witch would believe that hats are harmless. Everyone who wears them is untrustworthy.” Despite Linatta’s best efforts to lock away the name, it slipped from her mouth, “Charly never wore hats. That didn’t make her trustworthy.” Toad leapt onto Linatta’s lap and placed a paw over her heart. In his sincerest voice, he said, “Charly was different. She probably wore hats in secret.”

First Lines: Potions Unincorporated Twelve vials sat on a shelf where one hundred should rest. Linatta Mosset picked up one of the tapered glasses—thumb-sized and filled to the brim with a warm, green liquid. She uncorked it and took a hard swallow. Bitterness struck first, but it disappeared after a few seconds and slipped into a nutty and earthy aftertaste.

Comps: Under The Whispering Door by TJ Klune (The Humor & Heart) + Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree (The Cozy Fantasy Vibes) + The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches (The Romance) = Potions Unincorporated. Covers for each of the novels are next to each other on a green slides with plants.

THE SPELLSHOP x HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE

A curmudgeonly witch with a chronic illness must work with a cheerful thief to stand up to a greedy pharmaceutical company.
