#QueerWritersChat Q4 Depends 😅 most are bad at it but do learn throughout the course of their arcs in the book. Healing, especially mentally/emotionally, is a big theme in most of the stories I write.

#QueerWritersChat Q3 In my middle grade fantasy WIP, yes. Malum has light magic, aka healing magic. Though he needs to learn to use it. In AnimalsWIP, Ren has some first aid knowledge they can use to help their teammates.

#QueerWritersChat Q2 Yes! I especially like to write poetry to get my emotions out. Fiction writing too helps me be creative in a way that can help with depression/anxiety for me.

No, I will simply use another search engine. And when the time comes that all of them are fully AI, I will return to the pre-internet days of either resigning myself to not knowing or I will look it up in a book.

Counterpoint: No I will not

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Coming up soon! Mark your calendars and hear me talk about putting my writing life back together.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

I'm doing my part! Cmon y'all
