It has not escaped my attention that the arts, once a path (however slim) toward class mobility, have been successfully demonetized and systemically attacked by machines. There was a time when there was at least some chance of escaping poverty on the value of your talents and we can't have that.

Here's a snippet from Friend of the Damned, the inspiration for the cover of that short story in fact.

Christopher: Of all things...why this? Why make a world with so much pain? How could you? Baltan: So, YOU'RE the real 'god' of this world, and you play with our lives for fun? I can't say I respect that, but at least it makes sense. Ann: I'm sorry for you guys, but my life is pretty great!!

Car Hell Update! I drove it out of the dealership no problem. BUT, for safety, we are leaving my car at my parents' house so my dad can look at it and I am driving their spare car (my mom doesn't drive much anymore). All we can do for now is wait while I try to pay down my remaining $3500 loan π

I shared the choices I made for publishing, from writing a query letter to how I afforded a cover. We all have things to learn from one another, and maybe my choices will benefit you! Also...gentle reminder that subbing to my Patreon is literally life saving.

Car hell update: the only feasible way forward is getting a new (used) car. Not sure exactly what I'll do about my remaining loan or getting my car traded in without spending $2500 on repairs π My parents ARE helping but I feel very bad adding to their stress. So... Books or commissions?

Oh, didn't realize they also called the collections "distasteful" and "disrespectful" too. Boy, sure would suck if a bunch of the projects listed suddenly got a lot of extra support or something π³ that would sure show me! Would hate if someone found a story that was specific to their taste. π©π¦

A2: My car has decided, once again, to have an issue that will cost roughly $2500 to fix. On top of the $2000 I already spent this year, that would be more than the car is worth...so I'm looking to try and trade it in and get a new (used) car. I was SO close to paying it off!!! So that's stressful.

A3: I got my gecko for the classroom! Thanks to class parent funding, I will be able to get some of the money I spent back. I'm holding onto that positive to get me through how awful the rest of this year has been. The students are SO excited about a class pet; their enthusiasm fuels me!

I don't know if this counts exactly but it's kind of a joke--in a sense--that in ALiCE, Abel is just...not supposed to exist? He's literally not supposed to be there. No one really knows why he's there. No one ever sees him. He has no scenes. But he does exist. Like a glitch.

I think genAI is bad at what it does and bad for the people who use it, but thatβs at best secondary to why I oppose it. Itβs also bad for the environment, bad for the artists whose work it steals, bad for the people who lose work to it, and bad for the underpaid humans who actually keep it running.

Eureka has lots! The most noticeable is the scar that splits his face--it's highly visible, but doesn't bother him. Other, smaller injuries actually cause him more daily discomfort. In the second Stellar Eclipse book, Dark Lightning, he's shown taking medicine to help manage his chronic pain.

from a writing session today. Cleaned this scene up a little. Evarin visiting her dying mentor and preparing to rehearse with a choir for the song that will end his life. The woman who pushes back here is He'esh's daughter in law, grand priestess of another clan, who married his eldest son.

this is the last thing i will say about this, but do not treat random artists you follow like they have to follow the same rules of your personal discord friendgroup. you are asking random strangers who do not know you and probably never will to "tw" their transness. i will never do that.

Gonna be that guy again: you have to support trans work while you know you can. It's more at risk than ever and I know some of you are engaging with the art and just not telling the creator! So take this as your sign to tell somebody you enjoyed their work. It makes a difference.

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

When you buy into the idea that "porn is evil" then anything deemed porn becomes evil. We are so afraid of sex in this country that it is effectively a tool to control the masses. This is (part of) why sex education is so important. Sex should not be some kind of boogeyman.
