Is cranky executive/EIC who storms in, demands a story with a title he's just come up with, then storms back out still a job? I could do that. Too many title ideas, not enough time to write them

here's the thing about AI book covers/art/design/etc. what you "save" by not paying a real artist, you lose in sales from people who won't buy your work or demand a refund if it has AI in it. you also lose out on free marketing people might have done to promo that work had you not slapped AI on it

Damn. I was trying to do the art for a smaller book, but that part of my brain that turns on a dime now decreed the art is crap. Gonna have to sit on it for a while.

Another sneak peak to the new art for the My Lord special edition 🌶️📚 This drawing got a coloured version too cos my sapphic bestie deserved that for sponsoring the art 🥰🥰

We have two more highlights until our next small break, but that doesn't mean we're going to slack off. Today's preview comes from our amazing contributor @porchtart.bsky.social. There's always something evil lurking in the dark, but who says evil can't be fun? monstermashzine.bigcartel.com

We're gonna do a announcement next month--title, plot, cover reveals, etc--but if a sapphic vampire noir series from me, @laurenknight.bsky.social, @jpjordan.bsky.social, @longtalljodie.com and @cerealpancake.bsky.social is enough for you, follow it here www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

Should a novelette have chapters? Or are they brief enough to just kinda roll through it with a break between scenes?

Someone asked me about one of my favorite comics, Thorgal, and asked if they should read them. To which I said yes………BUT, if they get the English cinebook ones, please let me help put them in the right reading order. (they reprinted them from the normal books 1-2-3-4-etc to 7-3-5-9 because ARGHHH)

2025 Eligibility List passion is my graphic design. art behind the text for Uncertain Sons by @cdsart.bsky.social. thanks in advance if you read (or have already read) any of these this year. much appreciated. will add links or other details at some point maybe.

Seeing a lot of job openings where they look for people skilled in using ChatGPT. I thought the whole point of GenAI was to bypass the need for skills?

The sale ends soon. I thank everyone who has picked up the bundle as it's helped cut down on some of my medical costs. Still, the bundle is available for the next two days. If you want to pick up three short story collections for the low price of $10, now's your chance!

Last days on the sale. I thank everyone who has picked up the bundle, as your purchase has helped cut down on some of my medical costs. Still, if you want to pick up my Beautiful Beasts books for the low price of $8, now and tomorrow are your last chances!!

Wishing our friends at Subterranean Press the best of luck while they work with Amazon to get this straightened out. You can also buy their ebooks direct from them at subterraneanpress.com. (Cutting Amazon out of the picture.)

I have 14 blank pages left in this notebook for outlines. What to outline next? One more novel? We'll see.

That moment when the story you thought you were writing as a Conan style story is actually a Red Sonja style story...

"Oh, my. What big eyes you have there." "All the better to watch you squirm in anticipation with!" Today's Artist Highlight comes from the talented @endoanarchy.bsky.social! If you want to see them in all their glory, go and preorder before 12/12 to get your copy! monstermashzine.bigcartel.com

Ya gotta work on comics pages but you're too tired to go on? Do the panel borders. Relaxing and least stressful part for me. (But seriously, if you're tired, rest up. Pages will be there tomorrow).

Ah, one of those "drawing until you hit a point you think the whole thing is terrible and want to trash the whole thing" nights. So anyway, redrawing this arm from scratch.

Reading up on Greek myth, it has mostly been me going "Dayum, Zeus." and "Dayum, Aphrodite" every few pages.

Convincing you to read my novella by the first sentence. Share yours if you want The first line from my first novella, 'Return the Rose'.

Hey, I'm going to be honest, I've had some rotten luck these last couple months. About three different projects got cancelled, so, if you need covers, pages, posters, album art, and you like my style, please consider hiring me. Portfolio: lanelloyd.crevado.com/cover-work

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either. If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

With being half off in the Itch bundle, my latest collection Rage from a Cage contains some of my favorite short fiction pieces. 'Teeth' is a personal favorite of mine.

Cool news! Twisted Trails, a new anthology from @shackleboundbooks.bsky.social is out now. My latest short western, "Whisper from a Colt" is in it. Find it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FSPD4FP4

My wife explained to me that among construction workers, the golden rule was 'never let people know x bothers you, because they'll never stop needling you if it irks you'. It's funny how true that is with the richest man in the world, pissy over one comment that hit too close to home.

Utopia Science Fiction Magazine is on the lookout for your weirdest writing and art! #sciencefiction open.substack.com/pub/utopiasc...

Last night, I re-watched the best adaptation of the Marvel comics character Morbius, the science-based super vampire: Blade 2.

Me: "Im'ma write the horniest, most shocking piece of violent erotica!" *proceeds to look up classical Japanese calendars and old measurements of distance*
