Hot Fuzz is my favorite Cate Blanchett movie. #moviesky #filmsky

Garbage pickup coming four hours earlier than normal is some bullllllllllllshit.

I was scrolling past this and me missus nudged me and said, "That's hip-hop." w/ @jcparsons.bsky.social

I'm much more scared of Bulgarian Bilbo than I am of Russian Gollum. #books #booksky #hobbit #tolkien #lotr

Bleh, I have so many money words to read today when it would be really nice to kick back and just enjoy some non-money words. Also nachos.

So the AI MLM is going to have an interesting effect on KU readers/authors over the next 2-4 months. Come, gaze into my crystal ball 🔮 #writesky #writingcommunity #romancelandia #booksky

Watching the rain/sleet cover the car, wondering if it'd be better to go to the store now or if it'll turn off to slick freezing drizzle that'll be dangerous to drive in. I really miss living somewhere I could walk to the store. #nlwx #newfoundland #fuckairbnbs

Watching The Lighthouse, I dunno what I was expecting, but it wasn't Daniel Defoe farting being such a salient part of the story. #moviesky

Clancy Brown as the Kurgan in Highlander should be much more highly remembered in the ranks of great movie villains. #moviesky #therecanbeonlyone

I want to splurge and buy some physical copies of indie books on my birthday (in a week) and I've already got several picked out in my wishlist, but if anyone has any favourites or recs they want to suggest, I'd appreciate some recs! 🥰

Been watching Dune Prophecy, and I think if I didn't know what it was and turned the TV on and saw it, it would take a few minutes to figure out it wasn't House of the Dragon. I feel like no TV adaptation will be bold enough to get adequately weird for a show about #Dune.

Just saw a FB account trying to pass off AI photos with extra hands as "ghost photos." B+ for effort, I guess.

Nobody else seems to find this funny, but I'm still laughing at this. #CatsOfBluesky

It was two years ago today I published the first in my Leguin-inspired Speaker Origins #fantasy series. Looking back on it now, about to publish a standalone & write the third in this series, it seems mad that I was so anxious at the time. 💙📚🪐👀 🔥 lsb337.itch.io/the-lion books2read.com/u/bWAzpY

Going over my own book notes in preparation for revisions, and an autocorrect has me stumped: *Though the book is about locking people down, sorta, it's also about change and transition, metabolites finally.* What the heckin' crap was "metabolites finally"? #writingcommunity #amwriting

Re-posting this as it's become unexpectedly relevant again, part 2. #booksky #books #reading #whateverguy

A5: Well this fucker needs dental surgery and it's gonna be like $900 soooo if anyone wants to toss a coin to their writer, I'd greatly appreciate it ko-fi.com/diannagunn #WeeknightWriters

I put my new comic up on itch! $8 for a 34-page horror story! On Halloween night in 1994, two teenagers and their bully walk into a stranger's basement, and discover an uncomfortable secret about a girl they know. You can read it here: keezyyoung.itch.io/its-bitter

After two days of hours-long post-storm shoveling, today I am leaving my driveway shamefully unshovelled. All the neighbors will see how I forfeit my place in Canadian Valhalla. #shame #shame #shame #CanadianShame

I’m 175 pages in on a hockey romance and thus far it’s been entirely about HOCKEY. 🌶️📚💙

Still having an existential crisis from talking on Steam Chat for two hours last night with a weird reverb when I spoke so I had to repeatedly hear what my real voice sounded like.

One of my beta readers keeps flagging dialogue, like "Why are his words backwards? Who talks like this?" And I'm like, "I dunno, b'y. I'll get right to fixin' 'er now in a once." #Newfoundland #amwriting #books

Yesterday, I made the best tea I'll ever make. I wish I watched what I was doing, but I make two a day & it was just another tea. As soon as I tasted it, I knew it was the Platonic ideal of tea & I'd never do better. My missus says I can't think this way, but I know it's all downhill from here.

"moot is in the epstein files" is the completely true sentence that has finally convinced me this is all an extremely stupid simulation and that we're all being used to power a robot overlord's game gear or something

1. New authors spamming #books and #queries don't make sense. Audience is everything. When I published my first #fantasy book, I had three best-selling Urban Paranormal / dark fantasy clients offer to give me shout-outs in their newsletters. Of course I said yes. That's amazing... 💙📚 #authors

This week, Amazon has removed erotica and erotic romance and many romance titles from the Affiliate program, meaning that people can't make affiliate income off linking them. One of the impacted books is Heated Rivalry. Please complain. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZZCSYXJ #romancelandia #booksky #authors

Once again I am reminded that the realest trick to producing quality writing is persnickety alpha and beta readers who actually like your work. #amediting #amediting #amediting

What a strange but interesting book promo mashup. Feels like an all new metric for levels of success. #NHL #DungeonCrawlerCarl #booksky

It’s old book posting o’clock. Any requests?

"...magnificently unique world-building, seamless prose, and deeply flawed characters..." Usman Zunnoor has reviewed V&V over at SFF Insiders and it is so flattering I couldn't help but to share it everywhere. Go read it! www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

Recently, someone left a short, good review on my old novelette, Ella. Many interesting stories have a split of 1-star & 5-stars. I like to think that's the case with Ella -- which is available for free on ITCH: lsb337.itch.io/ella But something about the spread of reviews still bugs me. Hmm... 💙📚

I really like that the latest #author spam email I got came from "Sophie Expert." It's like getting a visit from Guy Incognito.

Tell me about it. 🫠 What's the phrase that goes around? Vintage fashion not vintage values?

I've started responding to pro-AI posts the same way I would MAGA or religious posts, and that's by not responding. All these AI authors are also in a cult. It's messed up.

I don't care of Henry Cavill is in it, The Highlander did not need a remake. Some movies get "updated" as the original is clearly in an older paradigm, but others, like the Highlander, being a bit of a cult film, are sorta foundational for the era of films that get made now. #filmsky

I think we should talk about what actually DOES make us buy a book. Reply or repost with things you like to see in the marketing [largely copy/graphics] for a book. For me, I like to know the demographic/genre + the problem/questions the book is going to tackle. I want the answer remain a mystery.

Read this earlier today. Started rereading a little while later because it's just that kind of story.

The weird modern urge to backspace the radio if you missed what someone said.
