Trying to figure out when the best time to talk about this is, and I think it might still be a bit too early to go ham with it, but given the enthusiasm with people dropping into @the-book-bazaar.com and general hype, well, here's my upcoming project, The Gone Machine #TGM #Writing #IndieAuthor

Technically this is @littletakio.bsky.social 's writing, but it's part of our shared novel so... Here. Brooke isn't quite sure if she can trust Azra yet, but another man has come to her aid in a bar... #MfL #IndieAuthor #TBBPrompt #WritingPrompt #Writing

On to the next adventure! #kidlitart

If you're thinking about using gen-AI to "write" books, this 🧵 is for you. I’m a highly experienced editor who’s been in the biz a long time. Recently I’ve had manuscripts come to me where the author has used gen-AI – not for writing, I’ve been assured, but for “structuring” or "organising"

In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

This is a synonym, being "force" instead, but it reminded me of one of my favorite parts my co-author @littletakio.bsky.social wrote for our title Marked for Life (currently being queried) #TBBPrompt #MfL #Writing #Writers #WritingPrompt

It is OFFICIALLY my birthday in my timezone! 🎉 So, to celebrate, I'm doing 50% off ALL currently stocked pins! ALL of them. Including already discounted pins :D use code "birthday" at checkout and help me celebrate! shop.aimeecozza.com/product-cate... #BSNM #SupportSmallBiz #Pins #DarkArt

this morning the vet was listening to my cat’s chest with a stethoscope and said “she has a beautiful heart” and why did I get so choked up??

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE! In this thread are artworks available to license for a book RIGHT NOW! You ready? Let's go! 🧵

Another member of the itty bitty ceramic kitty committee that I made in December 🐱 #cat #cats #diy #ceramic #clay #glaze

Just checked today and the No gen AI directory seems to have no more pending apps?? AND the application form is open? That can't be right. Anyway, appreciate any shares to get this into the hands of people who need visual artists for their projects!

I wanted to give a heads up that a spot at *The Branches tier* has opened up! This is a sketch in the mail once a month :) THIS month's theme is either a flower bunny or jackalope. I still have time to sketch one and mail it too. April is Alice in Wonderland patreon.com/fallenlights
