MERRY CHRISTMAS MEEEE

🎄⛄🎁

Oh hey. IRL bullshit has happened. Again. Nothing financially destabilizing, but it has bummed me out hard. Please consider buying my novella. At least I like this side of life.

Half the reason I don't want genAI is because I love the weird behind the scenes stuff. Viggo Mortenson broke his foot on a helmet, Cary Elwes laughed so much he had to be replaced by a dummy, the Toasty! Easter egg was an inside joke, etc. I like human stuff in my art, damnit.

RE: Mark's post in the image: People who talk about creative endeavors like it's an efficiency problem do not get art. I don't WANT to write a book in hours instead of years. I want to sit there and labor over every word and phrase. Over my characters' motivations and responses. That's the POINT.

Please sign, I'm so tired of not being able to opt out of AI stuff

Please at least check this out and share with anyone who might be interested—every little bit of support helps and this project is amazing!

Get you a friend who prints out and mails you your own post when shipping you a signed book so you can use that as a bookmark XD thank you, @anotherindiewriter.com, I love it lol.

You'd think someone who owns literally thousands of books would have more bookmarks on hand but somehow I'm always using a receipt or a sticky note

Knowing anything about history is exhausting because it's just a repeating cycle of Bad thing happens > People work to create safeguards against it > Bad thing is eradicated > People forget the horrors of the past and forego the safeguards > Bad thing happens

I'm a little late to this because it's been A DAY but HAPPY BIRTHDAY @anotherindiewriter.com!!! YOU ARE AN AMAZING FRIEND, PARENT, AND AUTHOR AND YOU DESERVE ALL THE BOOK SALES AND TASTY SNACKS!!!

PANE 2 WHEN

I'm just going to save this and send it to people when they ask me about how I feel about AI in creative spaces.

It was ME, I GOT THE 666

People often ask me “Morgan. Can your books be used as winter weather tires for a 1993 Ford Taurus station wagon?”. And I’m here to say no, they cannot. Because they are books. #booksky #writingcommunity 🌈🚀📚 anotherindiewriter.itch.io

My novella of trans self-discovery is now up for pre-order! You can get Guitar Concerto in C Flat Minor, Op. 12: Lucina (short name Opus) for preorder now. Release date December 12,2025. Ebook $3. Paperback $8. Thread time. Itch: anotherindiewriter.itch.io/opus Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/s/994d56a7cb

So it begins. 🎃

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

I don't sit on my balcony enough so I'm doing it tonight because birthdays are special and this is my house, dammit

At my first ever author event :D it's actually an award ceremony for a local writing competition, but I'll still get to speak a little about my books and hopefully sell some!

I think knowing extremely little French enhances the comedy of this

Alright everyone. I promised celebration for finally breaking even as an author. Here is part 1 of that. I intend to buy 20-30 books from the community as a thank you. It'll be ebooks as I hate how paper feels to touch. 1. Pitch me your book with why you think I would like it (con't)

Best take on generative AI I've seen yet

This doesn't surprise me at all, honestly

I feel like I have a reputation of being calm and non-confrontational amongst most people, which is funny for how often I say "I'll fight them/I'll yell at them"

12 days to go, and ~a third of the way funded. We must Continue to pass hat around, because it will not fit over any antlers! Thanks to everyone who gives it a look! <3 (And remember to check out the reward tiers for a special edition and some truly impressive crochet deer!) #TheDeerisMessedUp

OMG

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

this is why i love finnish okay. it’s shit like this. everything in these 2 posts is true! it fucking rocks!

I feel like this is also a ridiculous ask considering we're all being very vocal about the problems with AI and all the giant corporations pushing for it. You can't just be willfully ignorant and then make it sound like I'M the crazy one who has to justify my stance.

Little confidence boost: my phone correctly identified the song I was playing on the piano :D

Thank you Morgan!! And yes, she's right, please come join us on the stream :3

SHIT. I SHOULD HAVE SAID 80,085 BOOKS BECAUSE THEN IT'S BOOBS

OH SHIT KOTOV SYNDROME IS FOUR YEARS OLD TODAY. HOW AM I JUST NOW REALIZING THIS AT 10PM? Um. Buy my books I guess? I'm a bad author date rememberer. #booksky anotherindiewriter.itch.io

THIS ALSO MEANS IT IS THE BIRTHDAY FOR @eveyjacob.bsky.social'S BOOK, THE ASSASSIN. And here's the thing. I want people to buy my books. But you know what I want more? People to buy her books. Because she's an amazing person and I said so. #booksky www.amazon.com/dp/B086X4QMJ...

Lol

Being the same size from age 12 onward is wild because I'll have clothes that are kinda falling apart and I'm like "wtf why is this breaking?" and it will take me a while to realize it's because I wear it regularly and I got it in 2008

"Without downloading any new pics, what's your energy going into 2025?" My constant vibe honestly

The lovely @anotherindiewriter.com commissioned this from my sister, who did a fantastic job bringing this scene to life. I'm touched and I love it so much :3

Brother: Zus* made me a drink Mom: Let me guess. Gin n tonic? Me: NO......it's a vodka tonic, because you guys don't have any gin. #FamilyHolidays *that's me!

Guys! A female character that can resist the one ring... Easy, Miss Frizzle. That trickster goddess of knowledge wouldn't be remotely tempted.

BOOK COUNT TO SELL IS ONE!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Only six more to go!! I would love to see Morgan hit this goal, and also have more people to talk to about this smart and intriguing series. There are lesbians! And androids! And lesbian androids!! Also magic and mystery and sarcasm. So. Much. Sarcasm.

I like decorations, but I struggle to enjoy decoratING. There's some underlying trauma there that I'm slowly healing from. But every year, my little sister comes by and decorates my house. Because she enjoys it. And because she's having fun, I end up helping and having fun, too.

Earlier this year, on a whim, I looked up the definition of a private library. I was curious how many books you'd need to qualify. Consensus seemed to be 500 or 1,000. Naturally, I went with the higher number. Then I went and counted my books.

Just performed a minor hardware mod on my house cancelling headphones so I'd stop accidentally turning on transparency mode. It permanently killed the feature but GOOD RIDDANCE. Anyway. Good news all around, my headphones are not broken lol.

December is upon us, which means I must be wary of any chocolate presented to me, lest it be tainted with peppermint. I don't know why this is a "Christmas" thing but it makes having chocolate perilous.
