Tentacles are cool... right?

I am delighted to announce the ToC for @bsfa.bsky.social 's Fission #6 anthology. It's been an honour to edit these wonderful works, and I cannot wait to see it out in June / July. www.bsfa.co.uk/fission/

I love listening to stories about serial killer childhood and thinking “hey! That happened to me too!”

I feel like you really have to ignore some base instincts for Sleep Sounds to work for you. I listen to crackling fires, for that relaxing feeling of your house burning down around you. Try also: Sleeping on a busy Cafe Floor, In Traffic, or the classic Literally Drowning.

One of the sample-giving grannies at Costco told me someone yelled at her about the price of bacon Pls don’t yell at Costco sample grannies They are one of the only good things in this world and they do not assign prices to bacon

Hey, look, it’s everyone’s favorite rejectomantic topic - higher tier form rejections. Do they exist? Who sends them? Let’s find out. #writingcommunity #rejection open.substack.com/pub/aerynrud...

I’m looking at Amazon reviews for body bags and people really use them for everything. Deer carcasses, Christmas tree and mannequin storage, marinating whole hogs. Some people even put it around their sleeping bag to make it waterproof.

Ah yes, it's the hour when nobody I know is online. I somehow ended up at a Dunkin at midnight today. I've written 1200 words in the past hour, all toward my current horror Novelette. It's weird, and I appreciate that. Good job, me.

Amazon’s search functions are garbage, they take up to 70% of your book royalties, and 2/3 of new books on their platform are slop. This is an ad for literally anyone but Amazon. You don’t have to delete your apps or your library, but PLEASE consider buying from somewhere else now.

I'm a bit late, as yesterday was Bandcamp Friday, but I wanted to post about how great Bandcamp is specifically for Writers. Bandcamp is my Mood Setter for writing, 100%. I have albums in a million places, and my day-to-day listening is elsewhere, but when I need to create a Mood, Bandcamp is it.

My book is live! Whims of the Night Winds is my new collection and there's a launch party tonight! www.eventbrite.com/e/the-whims-... Buy your copy here; www.plmcmillan.com/store/p/wotn...

I am certain AI will destroy people’s ability to do anything well, based solely on the fact that I was an incredible typist when I was younger and after 20 years of autocorrect my texts would be indecipherable without it.

If a character, through some combination of physics-breaking ingenuity, managed to roll higher than a nat 20 on a perception check, they would become aware of the DM.

If I had the extra $30 I’d be all over this. Legit my favorite property even with its iOS and downs.

There are many things I’d like to teach the manosphere, but I think if I had the chance I’d start small. “There is no predetermined number of wipes. You continue until the poo is gone.”

2 months before I leave Texas and about $6k short of my moving goal, so forgive me if you catch me resharing this kinda stuff even more frequently than usual

Every day is a good day to look up with an expression of intense epiphany from a piece of art and say "Ah! I am not the target audience for this!" Repeat as necessary! Not everything is for you!

Out in Meatspace I probably know two men who read books. I have SEVERAL coworkers trapped in the manosphere. This is why I don’t live in Meatspace.

I love that they need to keep the ship’s real mission a secret but they still publicly name it the Event Horizon.

Author interview with Ivy Grimes about her new novel THE CELLAR BELOW THE CELLAR! Including a photo of her cool dog, Bilbo. :) @ivygrimes.bsky.social @apexmag.bsky.social @marissavu.bsky.social

We all know that trilobites {{}}< are a problem when they start chewing on >{{}} wires, but that's nothing next to the problems explored in "More Tomorrow" by @premeemohamed.com, who was kind enough to leave all these trilobites >{{}} in our {{}}< care. So check it out!

So I made a simple color chart (zoomed WAAAY out) to show what a thousand short fiction submissions looks like in my personal journey. Red for rejection, green for acceptance. White is withdrawn, never responded, or pending. At one point I had 81 rejections in a row. (Click to uncrop)

Imagining a universe trekking erotic novel of sexual liberation from the pov of the comfort unit Murderbot set free in book 2.

“Sound on?” No. Sound off. Sound off forever. Sound torn from my phone’s broken throat, never to be heard again.

Imagine you walk up behind Yoda when he’s doing this and you realize he’s ordering a pizza in totally normal speech

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

I’m proud of this novelette. No qualifiers, no “a bit proud.” No “I’m actually kind of…” I’m straight-up proud of this novelette. It’s a haunted house horror with some visceral prose and I love it. We need to learn to say that more often. Love your work! Be proud! Shout it! Repost it!

Built my backend system out a little more so it generates the contract for me, and then provides a button that I can press that will email the contract to the author.

“Block and report user donglover69 as spam?” [YES] Donald Glover at his computer: “why won’t anyone be friends with me? :(“
