Doing a summoning ritual for update emails in my inbox

Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy. Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit. [email protected]

Me, coming back to the math over and over again to figure out moon cycles and tides for this stupid planet made-up planet I HAVE A MUSIC DEGREE, WHY AM I DOING MATH

Thrilled to share today that I’ve signed with Natalie Sun at HG Literary to represent me and HANNAH MCCOY TAKES A STAND!

I'm going to say this with a bit of frustration, but fuck all the way off, Oliver.

#amediting vibe of the day (it’s been four weeks and I’m like halfway done the big edit so it’s actually pretty fast, I’m just impatient)

When you log on to BlueSky and see yet another pitch event

So incredibly happy for my friend and also ECSTATIC that this book is a step closer to being on my shelf!

It's been a long time coming. Canadian independent bookstores have banded together to create an online book buying source so you can avoid the behemoth in the room. (Here are the titles published by CMU Press, which I run.) Spread the word #booksky! www.booksellers.ca/publisher/cmu-press-18021

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”

I’ve gotta go write a murder or something now, holy fucking shit nuts

Oh boy, this hockey game hasn’t even started and it’s already bad for my blood pressure

Great intro thread for all things RevPit! Highly recommend participating for unagented authors pursuing trad pub with a manuscript ready to go! Even without winning, I learned so much, got great advice, and made so many connections, all of which definitely helped me get #agented #revpit

Just a reminder that if you hate NBC’s coverage of the Olympics, that gem.cbc.ca has coverage of •every• event intelligent, researched commentary. (Plus Schitt’s Creek, North of North, etc) If you need a postal code to register: Santa’s: H0H0H0 A Delta warehouse: V4G1NA (Letter/Number/L/N/L/N)

This is the only correct response.

My husband and I established that the only thing that makes us feel more patriotic than Crosby in a Team Canada jersey is Terry Fox

It's Mandatory Monday and AI is clearly the future. mandatoryrollercoaster.com/post/8081046...

We've lost an amazing editor and friend. We'll miss Megan deeply. Thank you for all you've brought to this world. www.gofundme.com/f/support-me...

Age verification? I have a chicken pox scar because they hadn't come out with the vaccine yet.

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.
