Be careful, my creative friends, this week I've helped multiple individuals who have been preyed upon by scammers in the realm of creative services, to an egregious degree. Vet, check testimonials, use references of previous clients. And it is ALWAYS your right to say no to someone pressuring you.

I highly recommend the 2026 Conference of Writers that is hosted by the Bluegrass Writers Coalition. Holly and I love this event, it is first rate and always features great guests, programming, and people attending. Well worth attending. Check it out!

Return to a world that is cashless, surveilled, regulated, and managed thoroughly for everyone in it…except for a select few that hold the reins of power. A place where VR, AR, AGI, and UBI are the norm. It is also a place where a few have discovered something far bigger and greater beyond.

Just a few hours left to get nominations in for the 2026 Imadjinn Awards for books, short stories, audiobooks, comics/graphic novels, song lyrics, magazines/periodicals and more released in 2025! Entries by midnight EST at www.entertheimaginarium.com/imadjinn-awa... #writing #writingcommunity
