Someone who churns out hundreds of AI "books" and makes money tricking people into buying them thinking they're getting a novel isn't a writer. They're a scammer. They're no more an author than a snake oil salesman is a doctor. It's just fundamentally a different thing.

I'm going to win.

Today I did at least 20 minutes of research for two words in this book 😂

Hi we're abstaining because it sucks ass, hope that helps

My best writing advice is to condition yourself with a writing playlist. One for each project. You're listening to that playlist, you're thinking about or working on that book. Also makes it easier to switch back into a different book later for edits. #amwriting #amediting

I love YouTube, where else can I find a demonstration on medieval crossbow usage, multiple tours and animations of English and Spanish galleons, and a demonstration on the ignition of black powder? In other news, new book is very research heavy #amwriting

You cannot, in fact, improve your writing by telling someone to steal a bunch of other writers' work, chop it up, and reassemble it for you like those poetry fridge magnets, except by statistical probability and without intent or creativity. The way to improve your writing is by writing.

I’M AGENTED! So exciting to be repped by @maraalyse.bsky.social at Azantian Literary Agency 💚 #amagented #agentedauthor #writingcommunity Photo Credit: @hello_meagain on Instagram

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Agents, I want this book on my shelf please, MAKE IT HAPPEN

In 2026 I learned that Marianas Trench was apparently never popular outside of Canada lol

No, I will not “shut up” about “AI” being an ecology-wrecking fascist grift, and honestly I judge anyone who asks me to do so.

Tell them we FREAKING HATE IT.

I swear, I will accept almost any level of dirty hit, fight, or—in this case—headlock in a hockey game, if it is retribution for fucking with the goalie

I will literally cheer for any team in international hockey if they are going up against the US. Hope the Finnish rock their SHIT today #worldjuniors

Starting the year as I mean to go on: On six hours of sleep

Alright, time for the third act of this draft. Time to prove I can write more than one book. #amwriting

I finished the Kadir’s continent map and final edits for The Land of Undying Summer today 🎉 I’m so excited, the map is SO good

I would buy a book with a clearly DIY cover before an AI one. The author that DIYs a cover cares a lot more about the integrity of the project then one that would use AI.

I am one with the chef’s knife and the chef’s knife is one with me

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!

Me, when I’m behind on an entirely self-imposed deadline

They say the final act is the hardest to survive. After a lot of blood, sweat, and eleventh-hour decisions, I’m beyond thrilled to announce that I’m now represented by @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social at Mad Woman Literary Agency! I can't wait to work on making Hotel Adair even more deadly.

Neither is herpes, but I’ll keep doing my work without either.
