Love when I’m outlining and can’t figure out what should happen. The answer is always “the worst thing possible” and wow. So much plot from that lol.

Do uh...eldritch beings count? The Destroyer is an armored length of sinew with a jagged maw and powerful, finned tail that swims through the great void of space, searching out ships to break in half.

Glad to finally be finishing up this neon book. I love it, don't get me wrong, but I want to return to my horror.
You all ready for some eldritch beings space opera?

Editing NDIAVM has made me fall back in love with writing. I'm still proud of this book. And I'm looking forward to drafting gain when this book is done and out. #writingcommunity

Neon lights slice through the night sky. Brilliant blues, proud pinks, and garish greens overlap in strings between balconies, shine from stacks of windows, and blare from signs to draw people into the shops of the towering scrapes. It casts everything in a wonderland of color. #writingprompt

Went to the doctor today for something.
Was told there was nothing she could do for me.
Hate it here.

I am lightly horrified by how many people have now looked up their books and found out their publishers (who often were required contractually!!!!) just... didn't register the copyrights on books. Not all of them! Just sporadically!
This is not just one publisher, I've seen all the big ones now.

Today is the day authors are learning how many of their publishers straight up blew off registering copyright and I feel like that deserves a class action suit of its own if it costs everyone their settlement money from the Anthropic suit... 😒🤬
