This nice post is about me (nobody was paid to write it!!!) - anyway it’s all true, I do dole out publishing advice on the tumblr. If you want to ask questions that’s great, but I beg you to look at the FAQ first — after a decade, many of them have been asked many times! 😘
genuinely surprised at what a small following Jennifer Laughran's tumblr has. she's a senior agent at Andrea Brown and has a permanently open Q&A for authors. an amazing resource and opportunity! an incredibly generous one, too.

I loved travelling back in time to watch Kirra, Tarni and Narn work together to protect what they love. It was an honor to engage with the beautifully written Upwelling!

Despite a fair bit of fatigue the past couple weeks, I reworked the first three chapters of my novel and polished and submitted a flash fiction piece. It feels like I am getting into a good flow, which is nice

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

“Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another,”
The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

A unique dystopia, Above was a beautiful and quiet story of harm, healing and transformation. I loved the strange dystopia and haunting shadows.
Highly recommend!

I reread Nevermoor for the first time in several years and it was just as good as remembered. Every sentence is packed with life and magic, and the world is so wondrous you can't put it down. I finished it too quick!

#writingupdate I had a wonderful time last week meeting my classmates from Faber's Writing the Speculative Novel at our anthology book launch.
It is very surreal to see my words in print! The anthology will be sent out to publishers/agents, so we'll see if I hear back😊

Feeling the need to remind myself of this Ursula K LeGuin quote today:

I’ve been thinking about hosting lives and maybe starting a podcast to interview authors about their books! Would any authors or readers be interested? #booksky 📚🌶️

Heartbreaking reading, but this Reddit thread gives a sense of the relentlessness of the horror inflicted by ICE, and the damage being done to so many innocent people that doesn't make the news.

I am on a bit of a YA kick and finally got around to reading Sabriel- I loved it! Such clean sharp prose and I love how the fantasy world is protrayed in such agrounded and realistic way. I'm excited to continue the series!

I'm still waiting for feedback from my novel so this week I worked on a short story- my first horror story! When I circle back to it I'll have to figure out how to up the ominous.
