I didn't realise I exported minute long videos in .mov format (with alpha layer) and they were all 2GB in size and I was very baffled that 1. the files were taking forever to upload, 2. the second set kept failing - till I realised the 8gb filled the drive. Back to exporting in regular mp4.

Exactly why Sam wants to sell 'intelligence'

I have finally written the most unhinged story ever to send out for an antho call! (I have no clue if I can send it to any other market if it gets rejected) #WriteEditSubmit

I wrote a coffee themed drabble, which got rejected. Expanded it to a micro-fiction (395 words) and sent out (waiting for response) I've found a themed call for short story anthology where this story will be perfect, so time to rewrite and expand to 1k+ and send it! #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Still looking for a few commission work for this month to sort out utilities. Want a flash fiction written with you in it? Check out ko-fi.com/lucidillusio...

I've found a few magazines that accept reprints and I feel like I should send some of my patreon only stories (which I very much adore, and deserve a broader audience) to them. Anyway you can always read my weekly stories on patreon or in your inbox. Literally takes $0 to support my writing habit.

Between a few first drafts where I've used “addition” where currently they feel like very rough notes, I am instead sharing #WIPSnips from one of my #Witchcraft101 series You can read it here: www.patreon.com/posts/134388... (free to read) #GiftLink #FlashFiction #AmWriting #WritingPrompts 💙📚

Someone on bsky had mentioned that AI is a marker of what resource is being gatekeep and those things need to be worked on by the policy maker. We'll definitely see huge numbers of users who won't realise when they are being fed wrong pieces and this will blow up for the country sooner than later.

I am surprised at how few times I've used the word across many stories! Anyway here's some “dart” from ‘The Missing Shadow’ for today's #WIPSnips (you can read it on patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/140797...) #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #AmWriting 💙📚

One of my stories that's coming out next month... so the editor shared a doc with suggested edits and their reactions to some of the writing, and just now it struck me I really did a "take a sad song and make it better" with a sad old emotion now turned into a short story that many will enjoy.

somedays when i'm humming this song, I think about taking it as an inspiration and writing a story. #NowHumming
