Oh hey. IRL bullshit has happened. Again. Nothing financially destabilizing, but it has bummed me out hard.
Please consider buying my novella. At least I like this side of life.

Guitar Concerto in C Flat Major, Op. 12: Lucina
A girl playing guitar in a bar was more than enough to catch Daniel's attention. But she was more than that: something hypnotic, something ethereal, something familiar. What if the girl of your dreams...

Half the reason I don't want genAI is because I love the weird behind the scenes stuff.
Viggo Mortenson broke his foot on a helmet, Cary Elwes laughed so much he had to be replaced by a dummy, the Toasty! Easter egg was an inside joke, etc.
I like human stuff in my art, damnit.

RE: Mark's post in the image: People who talk about creative endeavors like it's an efficiency problem do not get art.
I don't WANT to write a book in hours instead of years. I want to sit there and labor over every word and phrase. Over my characters' motivations and responses. That's the POINT.

Please sign, I'm so tired of not being able to opt out of AI stuff
Just gonna drop this here. Amazon is forcing a new AI feature on authors whose books are available on Kindle. This is a petition to give us the choice to opt out, because currently, we cannot.

You'd think someone who owns literally thousands of books would have more bookmarks on hand but somehow I'm always using a receipt or a sticky note

Knowing anything about history is exhausting because it's just a repeating cycle of

It was ME, I GOT THE 666
Woodpusher is my second best selling book. I have sold 665 copies
(seriously...next person to buy gets lol funny number)
566 of those are this year. All but like 20 of them came at steep discounts because of sales. On one hand, I love this because it means people get my books. But I made less.

People often ask me “Morgan. Can your books be used as winter weather tires for a 1993 Ford Taurus station wagon?”. And I’m here to say no, they cannot. Because they are books.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

Alright everyone. I promised celebration for finally breaking even as an author. Here is part 1 of that.
I intend to buy 20-30 books from the community as a thank you. It'll be ebooks as I hate how paper feels to touch.
1. Pitch me your book with why you think I would like it

My first book ever was published June 27, 2016. From that point forward, I have been running at a net loss with my writing. Making money was not the point, but folks around me kept treating it as unimportant because it didn't make money.
On July 1, 2025, I'm officially in the black for the 1st time

Best take on generative AI I've seen yet
This doesn't surprise me at all, honestly
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
