Shattered by the loss of her Olympic dream, Cat joins a magical circus only to find that the performers are really prisoners And now that her memories have returned, she has days to free herself & her true love… #QuestPit #AG #F

I'm looking at the news stories about the FDA's drug approval "AI" and keep seeing reporters using the industry MARKETING term "hallucination" instead of saying that it's faulty, doesn't work, and provides inaccurate information a human would have been fired for. Stop pulling punches.

✨PUBLISHING NEWS✨ I’m so excited to share that I’m now represented by Grace Demyan at Rosecliff Literary 🥳 After 5 years of querying 4 manuscripts, & hundreds of rejections, I finally found the perfect person to represent my darkly whimsical stories 🖤

I had the best buddy matchup in SmoochPit and just knew this story was going to get picked up!!! Can’t wait to see Killer Summer on shelves 🥹

Being postpartum & a writer is fun because I wake up to the most nonsensical ideas in my notes file every single morning 🤣 Today included: “Sculpting - something with minds” “Room 101” “Dark hair?”

Do the writers using AI not realize that the expediency of this tool is just rushing them towards the inevitable limits of their own underdeveloped ability? Shortchanging yourself out of hard work means you will ultimately produce rapid drivel. Even worse, you won't be able to tell.

Baby slept (kind of) last night, so I was able to edit a short story today 🙌

I'm thrilled to share this guide to my 90K rom-com, a retelling of Taylor Swift's "Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince" packed with heart, heat and a swoony country-pop soundtrack. 🎨: @legendsofaukera.bsky.social
