Don't forget: ASK YOUR LIBRARY TO BUY THE BOOK!! Libraries pay higher rates for books and requesting that your library purchase a book: A) costs you nothing and B) will make the author so, so happy

WELL, the USA has been in a "Chip War" with China for the past 5+ years. 20+ years into the future, I imagine this battle will likely be settled in a stalemate over any "new world" or US-led order. Especially since the Trump admin scorched Biden's CHIPS Act to ashes... #Marchistics #writesky

Silicon is 1/4th of the Earth's crust. It's one of the most readily available resources on the planet. If it ever reaches near-depletion we are all truly fucked. Now, is it sustainable? Recyclable? Doesn't matter, it's attached to your brain (and it's staying there)!! #Marchistics #writesky

I just want good sleep and good grades is that too much to ask for.

Dalia until Act 3: existential crisis Dalia after Act 3: we swap bad date stories and dessert recipes Nanashi until [REDACTED]: politely, earnestly, and desperately asks for his memories back Nanashi after [REDACTED]: invites me to train w/ him & I die from exhaustion #AwesomeCharacters #writesky

Ooo, great question! Silicon extraction is of a similar vein to other working-class jobs like coal mining or farm workers. A very respectable position, but unfairly judged as less than due to societal bias against "unskilled" or "low-skilled" jobs that require manual labor. #Marchistics #writesky

I'm so far behind 🥲😩 #Marchistics ANYWAY! Silicon extraction, I imagine, won't change much in the next 10 to 20 years. 28% of the Earth's crust is silicon, and it's easy to harvest quartz (aka pure silicon dioxide). You then extract using coal and woodchips in a huge ass furnace to remove oxygen.

Me: trying to be active on social media and strengthen my fledgling writing routine. Then: Dog gets sick. Homework piles up. Five thousand basketball games to watch in-between. Every. Single. Time. #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity

I love Rui Hachimura so much 😭 Don't even care if the Lakers lose, I just love it when he's living up to his potential 🥲💛💜

Fairytales have deeply influenced me. I tend to think of every story I write as a fairytale regardless of genre. So, happy endings are the natural conclusion. NOW, how my MCs get there... my favorite trope is "Earn Your Happy Ending" for a reason! #AwesomeCharacters #writesky

This one is easy! They don't call it the Silicon Valley for nothing 😂🫠 But yeah, the biochips are primarily still silicon. HONEE prefers to work with Brazil over China for silicon production. Then, the silicon is shipped to the factories in San Jose or Oakland. #Marchistics #writesky

Finished Best Wishes from the Full Moon Coffee Shop! It's a 3 out of 5. The final chapter saved it, and I love how Mochizuki blended the two books together even with new POVs. And as a writer, the Afterword made be feel very seen ☺️ My true wish is to be a published author, too! #Booksky 📚🪐💙

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

Just did a class assignment on this! Here's a little snippet: "He did not wear the graphic tees or jeans of the CEOs desperate for algorithmic validations but tailored suits, often gray. Occasionally blue, to strike the attention of the woman he planed to marry." #AwesomeCharacters #writesky

I listened to The Romantic by Bruno Mars and ay dios mío, "Risk It All" tore me UP 😭🥹 You start your album off with a fucking mariachi band and a rhythm that sounds like it could come from a Javier Solis or Vicente Fernandez track, I'm THERE. I am SEATED, man!

Oh no, my weakness: describing what's inside the godforsaken technology😭 The biochips are similar to contemporary microchip or semiconductor tech, consisting of transistors, resistors, etc. The key difference is it's not encased in glass upon injection. (1/2) #Marchistics #writesky

living in the 2020’s

if your game doesnt list whatever the fuck this is as a feature then i will not play it

Nanashi has deep scars across his knuckles. He doesn't know why. They're a reminder of a past he has no recollection of, that he's lived a full life before he woke up in some sterile studio apartment. He wants that past back, no matter the costs. #AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky

Ooo, love this #Marchistics Q! The product I'm tackling is a biochip brought to you by the H.O.N.E.E. Corp (Harmonic Optimization for Neural Enhancement & Efficiency). My MC Dalia works in the R&D Division and helped design the initial concept. She also uses one to alleviate her anxiety disorders.

came back to 11 likes on my first #WIPSnips post... mom I made it 🥲🎉

Finally got around to a #WIPSnips 🥹 This scene takes place early on, when Dalia realizes there's quite a few things her best friend has kept from her... #writesky

#AwesomeCharacters Dalia's incredibly accommodating in the beginning, bordering on pushover. She doesn't make enemies but she doesn't build real connections either. Over the course of the novel, she learns to assert herself and speak her mind, which doesn't sit well with some... #writesky

Hi! My name is Miranda and I'm currently working on a social sci-fi novel set 20+ years in the future. My novel revolves around a corporation creating biochips infused with AI that listen to/cater to your every whim. So fleshing out the production and marketing should be worthwhile! #Marchistics

I personally keep my ideas marinating in my head like a rotisserie chicken endlessly spinning on a spit.

Social media really is a muscle you gotta keep working omg 😩 Been "active" on here and Instagram for just under a week and I already want to crawl into a hole and die. At least with my home workouts, my abs and butt keep sufficiently toned lol #WriterSky #writingcommunity

Oh Pokémon Trading Card Game, I loved you so much 🥹😭

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

7 years ago I just put out the Taco Bell Quarterly in a word document! I made it for free and put it out and no one gave me any push or permission, and if I failed, OH WELL, it's not like it was even real!

Outlined TWO (2) short stories today! Can't believe easing myself back into routine without heavy expectations really did work. Now I just have to write them 😁😅 #writersky #writingcommunity #amwriting

Current audiobook: Best Wishes from the Full Moon Coffee Shop. Loved the first book and the sequel's narrator has such a charming voice! It can get incredibly repetitive though 😅 An issue the first book had, but it's been amplified in the sequel. Really just here for astrological cats. #BookSky

Planning out my March writing goals tonight! What is everyone working on in these final winter weeks? #amwriting #writingcommunity #WriterSky

Love Spotify because where else can I ask for such niche playlists like "serizawa's old school car jams" and some weirdo user (affectionate) has already compiled it for me 💖 #Suzume #80sjpop

Did some line edits, made chamomile tea, and watching one of my newest comfort movies: Suzume! Who needs retail therapy when you already have a well-stocked BluRay collection? #amwriting #WriterSky #Suzume #writingcommunity

Had a bad afternoon and then had the STRONGEST urge to cure it with retail therapy. But I made a deal w/ myself to only buy ONE (1) Book/CD/BluRay when I either: reach another 10k in my novel, finish a short story, or edit/submit to publications. And I haven't done any in over a month 🥲🙃🫠

Ash Wednesday at the airport is brutal... can't have a sugary lil iced coffee... or watch a silly lil YouTube video... or eat a lil bulgogi banh mi...

Came up with the perfect "I'm ready to fully embrace content creation as part of being a 21st century writer" post, but then I didn't write it down and forgot it the following morning. So.

going to Sacramento this weekend for one (1) specific panel on indigenous coffee practices because it's uniquely related to the short solarpunk story I'm writing. yeah it's a 6-hour round trip but it'll be worth it. #writingcommunity #coffeetime #solarpunk

happy bi to those who celebrate #bivisibilityday

Happy #BiVisibilityDay 🥰🥰 Proud to be bi and proud to write compelling bi characters that don't fall prey to sensationalized stereotypes.

30 minutes away from seeing my favorite author @silviamg.bsky.social at the Libros Festival in LA!!! Dreams come true 🥲🥲

Mainstream media's Charlie Kirk narrative: Sure, he believed LGBTQ people should be stoned to death, black people are inferior and unqualified, women are only meant to serve men, 10 year old girls should be forced to give birth. But he meant well.

Researching for two hours on hyper-niche topics for, maybe, three lines of text in a 6k short story. Truly living the dream. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky #sff

Nothing motivates more than a deadline and the sheer delusion that my hastily edited piece will prevail above all. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky

OSAKA VS ANISIMOVA GOTTA BE ONE OF THE GREATEST MATCHES OF ALL-TIME IDC IDC. ABSOLUTE CINEMA!!

This #ThrowbackThursday, I have a new piece out @medium.com through the lovely Memoirist publication! It highlights a moment in time between my brother and me, and why we developed a love for anime. #writersky #writingcommunity #memoir
