Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds

Can't wait to read the conclusion to this great series! What a gorgeous cover!

Writing is thinking. Writing is a way of molding YOUR OWN thoughts. So when you hand over your "writing" to monstrous AI apps made by the most craven motherfuckers imaginable, you hand them the keys to YOUR head. AND you strip the work of writers. GRIND THESE APPS TO DUST.

I can officially say I have a story in an award-winning anthology! 👀

Is editing boring, cumbersome, confusing, inexact, opaque, time-consuming, and tedious? YES YES YES. That's normal. AI might be able to alleviate some of that discomfort, but at great personal cost. This is not a "doing it the hard way is more noble" thing. It's the WHOLE of the thing period.

New episode of Clove & Moose! It's a quieter month for Clove as she takes some down time to enjoy a festival.

Stayed up too late last night finishing this. I love all Melissa Caruso's books so it's no surprise I adored this one! A fancy party that's stuck in a time loop, but each loop drops into a weirder and more dangerous layer of reality, and gets crashed by godly murderers just before time resets
