Just a thought but if all you want to do is cosplay being a novelist, you don't need AI. Just put on your crappest sweatshirt, make a cup of tea, open Word to a blank page, then go on Bluesky for the rest of the day, and you're sorted.

#JuneJottings We'll go with this for reasons >.>~

#pretendpanel I feel like my ideas start as a mess, and I usually go through multiple iterations before I find the right one. I'd say I usually start with the characters and a basic idea--whether of a grand spoilery moment or a general worldbuilding idea. Like for Silent Suspension, I've known

Some good news for your late night!

One day I wanna write a short story or two about the Warriors of Dawn, mostly to just play with their characters some more. But I'm not fully sure what I'd do with it 😅

#WIPSnips Speaking of Talif~ He gets today's WIPSnips with a little bit from his short story~

#AwesomeCharacters Most Irreverent, huh? Well, I'd say the gold medal goes to.....~ Talif Vener~ 🥇 He's 12 in the short story I wrote about him, 13 in the main story, and he's a brat in both. He thinks adults don't understand him and will gladly tell anyone off. He'd even tell a ficioanima off. 🧵

Every Wednesday my Mom joins Grandmothers against Genocide for silent vigil. A dude with big dog showed up to argue. Two women who lost family in the holocaust offered to explain. He shouted over them. My mom shakes her head. As if he can intimidate grandmothers Every Wednesday Bay/Bloor 8 AM.

I was just looking over my notes, and realized I gave a scientist character the initials of M.D. Considering that happened *after* I switched around some last names for some enemies, it was a total accident XD''

cannot wait to play ocarina of time again

Under no fucking circumstances will I give ChatGPT or any other "AI" permission to access my credit cards, and certainly not to debit cards or my to bank accounts, which don't have the same fraud protections credit cards do.

Cuties 💕

Proud to share I've joined Storm Literary Agency as an associate & foreign rights agent. I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing your work! 🌟 #MSWL: jackiegarciamorales.my.canva.site/hello/ 📚 And I hope to see you at the Marketing Mastery Summit: summit.getstoryrise.com #writingcommunity

#JuneJottings Emily hates the way the demon realm works and the demon lord that rules it. She much prefers the free realm--though she hates that the demon lord is trying to take that over, too. Planets in the free realm are all vastly different, but she's been fine with most things...

If you're like me and ploughing through the seemingly endless editing cycle, just remember: We don't write because it's easy. We write because we thought it would be easy. Hang in there 💪 #writinghumor #writers #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting

Goal ideas for writers:

Sometimes you just gotta cry really hard in a happy way when something moves you deeply and makes you fall in love all over again with the beauty of humanity and the wonderful things that tie us together

Yes.

Emily is totally blowing all her money, and Nanashi’s not helping. Koujaku’s trying to limit her, but it's not working. Especially when Victor comes to buy stuff for both himself and Rota, and just makes the situation worse. Farish is the con mom trying to keep track of everyone. 🧵

Today is a good day to cancel your Authors Guild membership.

You wanna see what it looks like when author incomes collapse? Make their books unavailable for libraries to purchase. Go ahead, Author's Guild. See how far that gets your members.

Not feeling up to studying today DX Hopefully I can focus on it tomorrow

#JuneJottings The villain. I don't have a real answer for 'why now', other than that my mind decided to fixate on this idea now. But I've had these characters for a long time, and I really want to share them~ And especially the villain--he demands to be written~

Have you made anything for Rindoka Week yet? I might've written my day 3 fic in one day 'cause I got an idea that just *had* to be written >.>~ I still need to figure out my other fics, but here's a little teaser to my day 3 one~

#AwesomeCharacters Emily and Koujaku could legit have some pages like this, sooo... Emily Skolos Overview Life in the Demon Realm (currently has very little info) Childhood on Tolmalit The Galactic War Theories on Her Disappearance Known Family Rumored Recent Sightings

I don't even know where to begin with this one. According to the copyright page, this was written in 2015 and "updated" in 2021. If you're still using dial-up lines and magnetic tape in the office, I think it's past time to upgrade.

I can't wait to have my mind blown by whatever craziness is included in the chapter with 🏵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=slix...

#JuneJottings When I first made my series playlist, I joked that it was basically a Within Temptation playlist, since those songs just fit really well. >.>'~ But for book 1 vibes, I know I've said this before, but--nothing beats I2I from A Goofy Movie~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4as...

Hey! Listen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgmH...

The Kingdom Hearts IV trailer just casually dropped in a Nintendo Direct of all things www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIpQ...

The Direct only showed a small bit of Tales of Eternia, so here's a full trailer~ And they got new voice acting and everything 💕 They sound so good~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Tr...

I might need a day to recover from how many big things that Nintendo Direct threw at us O_o That's the last place I expected a KH trailer. Also the Pokopia update, new Deltarune chapter, Ocarina of Time remake, Tales of Eternia Remaster... Plus now I definitely need to play the Xenoblade series~

#WIPSnips I'm sure Farish regrets acting so cold during their first meeting 😅 At least he gave her a blanket to warm her up??

#AwesomeCharacters Emily's bringing some tuna sandwiches. Koujaku made a nice variety of onigiri. Ritos will gladly bring the drinks--whether those include alcohol depends on if it's a lower drinking age on their current planet. He'll at least get sodas. 🧵

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

#JuneJottings I'd say it shows up at the end of the first chapter~

#WIPSnips Can't exactly smell when you're a pair of talking glasses.

#AwesomeCharacters Emily would gladly join them for whatever they wanna do--hang out on the ship, go out to the park, get a bite to eat... She's flexible. And she'll protect her friends~ Nanashi will listen to whatever problems they have and offer advice. Koujaku will make their favorite treat~ 🧵

I'm sorry, what?? #amediting #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Tifa 🤗✨💕 #ff7r

No wonder the entrenched bureaucracy hates him to much. He's showing America that things REALLY can get better when you work on behalf of everyone, not for the Epstein class.

THIS. You cannot base your behavior or morals on some magical reality we don't live in. That's just entitled behavior. If you want cheaper or free art, then you had better be relentlessly pushing for basic universal income AND paying for art until we have that.

#JuneJottings For Emily, uhh... Her black and white mentality, her whole thing with being betrayed, childhood trauma she can't fully recall...

#WIPSnips From the Talif short story~ It's hard being a 12-year-old runaway XD

#JuneWorldbuilders The head of the demons is the Demon Lord Orkus Plagio~ It's always a winged dracones that leads them, and has been in the Plagio family for generations. The angels are led by the Goddess Neva and her Seraphim. They tend to be very elusive~

There's gonna be lots of Aerith today as we travel through the slums with her, so come join us~ :D

#AwesomeCharacters More Pokemon? Heck yes XD Emily: Water/Ice Nanashi: Psychic/Ghost Koujaku: Dark Ritos: Fairy/Flying Seth: Normal/Electric -- It's the closest to light? Marty: Rock/Electric -- She has arrows and magic that go along with those, anyway?? (1/2)
