Hassan Sheikh Mohamud says his country believes the move is linked to Israel’s plans to forcibly displace Palestinians.

Morning, everyone! I am going to be working on comms this week, and once again finishing things up! My prices are going up after the first of the year, so if you wanna reserve something at existing prices then let me know~ (current vs. upcoming prices)

Hello all, I'm sure some here are wondering why I've gone quiet lately. The TL;DR: I have Polycystic Kidney Disease for a long time. This year, I was pregnant and gave birth prematurely. And while dealing with the baby's NICU stay, a nephro told me I will need a kidney transplant in 4 years. +

Plan for the second half of 2025: Seriously work on a novel manuscript in English feat. a nearby mountain Reality: A project Second book in the teen horror series

Thinking of how I can trick romance authors into promoting their books with a one sentences description of what actually happens again. We gotta ease off the trope only vibes. WHAT HAPPENS!

I don't think you could come up with a list more designed to inflame sentiments than "here is a list of things that publishers MUST use AI to do and remain competitive, but don't worry, this isn't pushing out creative labor"

A screenwriter who sometimes absorbs people's negative energies, which disrupts her own peace of mind.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Aaaand @eveshi.bsky.social 's new books are here! Can't wait to read them although I'm a coward and probably will only read them in the afternoons www

Malls cancel fireworks displays "as a form of solidarity with the victims of the floods and landslides on Sumatra Island, which killed more than a thousand people." At any other time,this might come across as performative, but the bar has been low lately. en.tempo.co/read/2076567...

Current read. Halfway through the book and am delighted with every story so far.

Three of my books on the same section at a local bookstore (see alt text for the titles). There's a fourth book but it's not in this picture. A bit of a year's end surprise. Picture taken on Monday.

bookhip.com/KQSGFKA That's an ARC link for Book 1 in a domestic noir series: I just finished Book 2. Quite literally, an hour ago. All novellas. And @stevewestenra.bsky.social is doing the covers for me so this is especially special for me. I'd love to see this menopausal murderer series do well.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

This week: . Two of my books are available on bookstores starting from last Wednesday. I thought one of them would be published early next year. . The novel written under the second pen name was a bestseller in November. 😮 The publisher didn't tag me because it's not an Eve Shi book.

I now use this for my searches, because it promises not to keep track of web searches and a writer sometimes looks up questionable stuff.

There's Discourse about using genAI for writing research, and I want to add that every time I've done research (reading books, emailing the library, talking directly to experts, etc) I always stumble across something that inspires a new direction or adds depth that wouldn't have been there before.

Last repost: Lately I've been hearing about plans for, or ongoing projects with, AI-translated books. The translation is going to be a mess and guess who they'll tell to fix that mess? Actual human translators.

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why. Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

Again going to bang my drum: *Even if* gen AI excelled at tasks *Even if* gen AI had abuse-guardrails *Even if* gen AI helped the environment & medicine It’s still built on scraping the world’s creative labour without consent. Gen AI is poisoned at the root.

The cover that got revealed this week. Concept by me, art by Gitasari and Ikmal Aldwinsyah. Book is scheduled to be out in bookstores next week. & The republished debut novel is already out in bookstores... I thought it was scheduled for early next year.

Good. Boycott. Divest.

My mood every time I think of the govt.

Lord, I have seen what you have done for Bulgaria, and now I want that for my country.

Matt wasn't well enough to promote the release day of his new short story ebook All Quiet On The Terraces. It's a spooky tale but the kind that tugs on your heartstrings; especially apt since he passed away. You can get the kindle edition here: amzn.eu/d/ewl1JWr

US Defense Bill Would Fill Israel’s Weapons ‘Gaps’ Caused by Embargoes The US armed Israel’s genocide. Nations responded by embargoing Israel. Citing those restrictions, the US may now send even more weapons to Israel, @premthakker.bsky.social reports. zeteo.com/p/us-defense...

While I know which movie this is from, I'm more familiar with the animated version. 👀

They're already at th Cars getting stuck in the floods for so long that the passengers died "If you can't send us food, just send us shrouds instead" stage. The cyclone might be an anomaly but the deforestation & illegal logging made the situation worse. www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/indones...

The article also says Sumatra has lost 4.4 million hectares of forest since 2001, which renders the pledge somewhat obsolete. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

#HorrorWritersChat My stories getting adapted into a different media, like an OTT series or a podcast. Or just getting more readers.

#HorrorWritersChat Hello, I'm Eve, and I usually write about haunted buildings or how humans are scarier than ghosts and spirits. This is the first time I hear of Matt's passing. I didn't really know him, but I'm grateful he started this hashtag. RIP.
