Looking forward to discussing @stephenking.bsky.social ‘s classic in my writing craft group today (fiction writers who met at The Book incubator discussing how the authors do what they do). Never read horror before - hooked now.

I had a chance to talk to the future - a very fun exercise given my novel is set in the near future and I spend way too much of my time thinking about how the world will turn out.

I talked to the future in an AI-powered phone booth... and found some home
I struggle with climate pessimism. But last week, I had a chance to talk to the future, and, well, it’s not as bad as I thought.

My Mum died today - out of the blue and I’m reeling.
I was just back in Australia for a week and this was breakfast in Thursday when I left. Now I’m flying back, composing an obit and eulogy in my head.

Hey @cnn.com - do better. The second person you mention in the headline was an accomplished executive turning around hospitals, yet you reduce her life to her ethnicity and being the daughter of immigrants? Shame.

Dani suspects her loneliness has more to do with her famous name than her nomadic childhood. So when she's asked to lead a team at a climate-damaged UN Rezone, she agrees on one condition: complete anonymity.

Question for literary agents - I pasted the letter for one agent into a different agent's Query Manager form following a WDW event... aside from dying of embarrassment, should I send a note - it's already been seen, so I can't withdraw and pretend it never happened. Kicking myself.

I've had a couple writers recently withdraw immediately saying they signed with another agent, so I thought I'd do a mini chat on what's expected once you receive an offer.
1) thank the offering agent. Let them know you still have materials out and ask for 2 weeks to make your decision.

Warning: scammers are on @bsky.app - unless a world-famous French #author / #journalist has spare time to start conversations with a not-yet-published author and repost tons of disjointed posts that don't align with her work at all. I've reported it, but be skeptical.
