I am on a roll. No hint 😂

I mean we're doing well enough that I got an ARC and swag but it's important we do BETTER so that KB has to put goats in her immaculately landscaped yard and then watch in horror as her dogs eat goat poop.

Hit up sidequested.com/book/ for an exhaustive list of places to pre-order!

At this time, my only question is:
Where did they hang the piano and whom did they plan to drop it on?
Ah damn, that was two questions... sorry, I messed up.

Good morning! Some days, you can edit three chapters in a single day. Other days, you’ll spend three hours on a single sentence

Are we talking about... the same wordle?

Human Authored Logo Human Authored is a project of the Authors Guild that allows an author to certify that their book is created by a human. “Human Authored” means that the text of the book was written by a human and not generated by AI, with the exception of minimal uses such as AI applications that check spelling and grammar or for brainstorming or research. In red marks the exception that breaks it for me - no AI research, no AI brainstorming. Spell Check and Grammar Check where used before GenAI.

Aaaand nope. Not good enough.

As a reader, I probably would? Probably would only find it via a teaser short, though 😭 I watch those in the bus, mostly silent and captioned. 👀

Theoretically, if one were to interview indie authors about their books on YouTube, rather than on a blog, would readers be interested in watching that sort of thing?

I don’t mean interested in *partaking*, I mean genuinely interested in *watching*.

Do let me know. This is for ~science~ 👀

Ah, you shouldn't be. After all, we are in the same boat, no? 😅🤣

My 9yo gets up early (he set an alarm about half an hour before ours) to do his research on panda bears for school. Which is a wondrous thing to me, but I am very glad he enjoys it so much. 💖

If I could open a crack in the universe and pull you through for a few minutes, what would you have to say?

"What is the quest you call upon my aid for? Hurry, mortal. I have demons to slay."
And then I would take my phone out to grab a quick picture of your baffled expression. 🤣

You may want to steer the vessel of your mind very carefully today.

A comparison of what I preferred and what readers preferred, summary of the New York Times test. For me, it's 100% written by humans. For readers, 80% AI. Which terrifies me.

Did the NYT quiz because I wanted to know if I am able to see the difference. Turns out I am, even from those short text pieces. Glad about it as well. 👀😅

I probably deserve it. 😕😅 Salem is very pretty.

Kaleidotrope will be open to fiction and poetry submissions April 19-25.

Kaleidotrope is currently open to artwork submissions.

I don't know? You think the humor would have mixed well? 👀🤣

Also the instant regret when you left your jacket on too long in the sunshine and got a bit sweaty, took it off, then walked a teeny bit through the shade and the wind JUMPS at that opportunity to give you the absolute shivers. Meh. I rate it a Why You Do This To Me, Weather?/10. 🙁

My hands are so cold. 🥶

Is it just me or does that look like tripple as hard to do as the non-paralympic version? Unfathomable skill!

ICYMI!!!!
This comes out TOMORROW, last chance to preorder and get the exclusive ebook

Hell, on some mornings my own Face ID doesn't work.
Whoever is staring at me out of that mirror, get ready to get your face washed and dragged to work, damn it. 👀

I see a pattern. It started with the small in next to Robber's Forest. 👀💖

Some quick decisions - which were bad - led to this 6/6.
