I wrote almost every single day this year! I worked so hard on building the habit, and it's been a lot, but I feel like I really put my back into it this year. 🎉

How many teaspoons of water did it take to ruin Youtube?
More than 20% of YouTube's feed is now "AI slop," report finds
Video editing firm Kapwing highlights AI slop's definition as careless, low-quality content generated by computer applications and used to farm views and subscriptions or sway political opinion.

Working on the last bits of The King in the Mountain this week! Started off today by adding a little polish to this scene. It's one of my favorites: Silas' first interview with a real actual vampire! Ansel doesn't give him the answers he's been hoping for, though.

I just hit 100k on The King in the Mountain!!!! 🎉
I had to adjust my goal, because I've still got a little left to write (it will probably end up around 105k) -- but overall I am SO proud of this story, and so excited to get to the editing stage soon! Woohoo!

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.
An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.
So finish the thing.

Used my end-of-year bonus to buy myself a ticket to my very first writing workshop! I feel like this is a big step... I'm finally throwing myself into it and getting serious about getting published.
Regardless of what happens I think (hope!) there will be some great information!

My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it.
The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?"
"An obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"This one will be."

Upright would be Nicholas from The King In The Mountain. He was a king when he was human -- he's great at taking command of a situation and projecting authority but under the mask, he's more quiet and sweet.
The antagonist, Clarion, would be reversed for sure. 👀

Here’s why you shouldn’t pull your punches as a writer:
A big part of the appeal of a book is how dedicated the author is to their idea.
That crackling energy only comes from compulsion, the true driver of creativity.
Restrain it at your own peril.
