My hands shook. One chance to get it right—an octopus, subtle and mysterious. Scarlet: a reflection of me I hadn't anticipated. Crimson tentacles like Ariel's hair, Aries red, quiet with flair, constantly moving yet able to fade into the dark. #painting #art #artist #timelapse

Should we be polite to LLMs when we use AI and mind our manners, or should we be brash and limit our environmental impact? Or does it matter?

What say you?

I worked tirelessly on that first chapter, revising it countlessly with feedback from beta readers, lit agents, & editing professionals. But I knew I had Theo's voice nailed from the beginning. He's sarcastic & tarnished but seeking identity, acceptance, ❤️ and meaning.

Three readers mentioned DUSK reminded them of #ThreeBodyProblem. I'll take that as the highest compliment; Liu Cixin changed what sci-fi could be. Like him, my goal is to inspire conversations of depth and wonder about humanity's place in the universe.

Someone recently asked me the biggest lesson I've learned about self-publishing.

The gist of the answer: stop getting in your own way. Be adaptable, employ a growth mindset, and trust that the right people & tools are out there to support you.

Received my #author copies today of my debut novel, #DUSK! They were a bit dusty fresh out of the box, but I shined them up.

#Firstcontact, but not all #scifi. For fans of The Three Body Problem, The Candy House, Sea of Tranquility, and Don’t Look Up. #books
