New serial available today! Everyone has a calling. Everyone but Violet. At least... until she finds herself with blood on her hands. As the red drips from her fingertips she finally understands how to feed her calling… and her appetite. Read it here! tinyurl.com/CruelViolet [πŸ“šπŸ’™] #BookSky

I love Leon S. Kennedy, I do. First day as a cop he shot at all his co-workers and quit. Good dude. Campy lines. Quality. But this game would be way better if they cut his segments and doubles down on Grace's much more interesting gameplay.

Is AI making it faster and easier or are you putting just as much time and effort into it as everyone else is? You can't have it both ways. Your motive for using it can't directly contradict your explanation for why it's okay. Figure out which bad argument to use, please.

Texas tech now bans students from writing about LGBTQ issues in any form. Mentions of gender identity, orientation etc in textbooks must be skipped. Deafening silence so far from all the brave heterodox free speech absolutists www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

Ftr, the image scroll instead of stacking them looks like dogwater. Not to be confused with the pool water Why intentionally dunked his phone into, but not unrelated either.

No one needs a coaltition that is willing to sacrifice them for the bottom line. That's not someone you need more than they need you; that's just another enemy.

Light writing research. Looking up which states don't let you pump your own gass. This is the first link I clicked. It's the first time AI has made art, I think.

I find this completely believable. I’m on the top end of gen-Z but I find people in my age group and younger spot AI imagery instantly and it’s often taken as an indicator of corporate insincerity. Meanwhile a lot of older people I know can’t tell the difference and workplace management pushes it.

If my characters exist and they know who I am, I am going into hiding. But... In Mars' case, I'm safe and I'd want to see magic, but wouldn't have the heart to ask. For Lily I'd for sure want to see where she lives. For Violet. Yeah, I am hiding. Absolutely not gonna interact with her.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters You are suddenly transported to your characters' world! (Or if this is their world, they are real, now) What's the first thing or place you want them to show you? I'm sure there are lots, but what comes first? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Listen, all I want is for women to tell me I'm right and make me feel like the authority regardless of what I say and how true it is, and regardless of whether I actually know as much as them. Just concede to me and say what I want!!! That's what my mom does.

This absolutely depends on the story and the characters. I do have a tragedy with an ending that is not happy for my character. But it is... the ending she needed. I also have a story with a very happy ending. My current WIP is a villain lead. So the question is, *should* she have a happy ending?

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Technical question! Do you prefer to write happy endings for your characters? Or would you rather some tragedy? Be as general as you like, to avoid spoilers! But as a writer, which captures you more often? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Writing a serial killer. She does not, in fact, have a personality disorder. It is astonishing how often people just take it for granted that she has ASPD, despite clear evidence to the contrary in the text. Thats just a stereotype, guys. Not a necessary part of a killer's psyche.

the shady ID inspector company was secretly shady ID inspector company in a trench coat the whole time? i'm shocked

This image alone explains how AI has funding at all. The people paying for it literally don't know what it is or what it does. They are just stupid and rich, so the rest of us burn.

we're sooooo back! there's something so comforting about being able to come back to a series whenever, with characters you already know and love. it feels like being curled up in a blanket with a warm drink on a rainy day. 4.5⭐ s you should check out A.K Faulkner's Inheritance Series✨ #booksky

Every time someone starts using all this to gloat about how they voted for Harris and they were right all along, I hear two things. "I care more about saying I 'told you so' than what is actually happening" And more importantly "This would be a good thing if it was only happening overseas."

The US spent decades voting for this to happen eventually, and every president they have voted for has brought us closer to it. Every single one. And two of the candidates most open about supporting ethnic cleansing ran against each other in the last one.

There are a lot of things I really love about serializing my early drafts. There is a lot of fun to he had when a community can interact with what I am writing on each chapter. (This come with some abuse too, but alas) But the level of acceptance of AI in the web novel community is so discouraging.

Every day I see people encouragong each other to replace the art they did commission with AI because they think it'll perform better. It is impossible to exist in this space without interacting with people who have the creative integrity of a bad soufflΓ©.

I just don't know how long I can keep releasing stories in this environment. Using real art gives me an advantage, sure. When my covers and ads are competing with that garbage, I stick out. But it's so soul crushing to stick out for that reason. It really is.

So many people can afford to run an ad, but mysteriously can't afford the art for it. Or a cover. They'll speak out against AI in writing, but man... You can't throw other creators under the bus like that. There are literal millionares in the space telling people how they use AI and it just. Ugh.

Gonna have a little rant about power, just because I need to round out the afternoon I guess. 'You aren't interested in power' is something liberals and centrists throw at anarchists a lot, and I think it is more telling than they realise.
