I try not to be rude about the competition for games I voice a character in, but as a writer who has applied there for 10+ years and never even gotten an interview...

Does Blizzard just not hire editors? Or are the writers this... (and sorry to be so blunt) bad? Even AI doesn't do typos like this.

Magica Riot is one of those books that I feel honored to endorse and spread the word on, not just online, but when I talk about works of trans joy in panels and programming across the country.

Which means you're dang sure that I'm going to preach book 2 from the mountaintops.

Check it out now!
"Magica Riot: Full Bloom" is my second queer Portland magical girl novel and a big emotional gay adventure. And it begins arriving this weekend in print & ebook formats.

I'm building a trans-centric queer magical girl universe here, and I'd love for you to read it. magicariot.com/buy

Let's get ACCOUNTABLE on Thursday, November 13th!

Oof ta! I was super tired yesterday, especially after ingesting mass quantities with some author friends, but I slept a lot and feel great this morning. Breakfast, meds, and coffee down, not doing Necessary Busywork before I get to writing.

Let's get belatedly ACCOUNTABLE for Wednesday, November 12th!

Two meals down, coffee and water had, meds taken, girl patches slapped.

Got the monthly dinner with authors on the docket this evening, this morning was logistics for some things, and now, I need to work.

SO! Funny story! I really messed up putting the dates into my print distro! And it turns out the print versions launch THIS FRIDAY.

WHOOPSIE DOODLE 😅

So rather than make all of you ebook buyers wait…I'm moving them all up.

Hey everyone, in desperate need of commissions, trying to pay off my phone and start saving up a bit as a cushion for bills until I start looking for a 9-5 in January.

If you can't afford a commission I have a Ko-Fi you can donate to.

Word of mouth also helps me out.

In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

This for sure. I've had the pleasure of doing a few audiobooks now, and good narrators always bring something new and exciting to the table.
Yes! Working with Emma on the Magica Riot audiobook was my first experience working with a voice actor. When I got audio back and heard all the fun, interesting choices she'd made in bringing the characters to life, I was DELIGHTED.

Voice actors are creatives! It's fun to work with other creatives!
someone asked me literally yesterday if I could use AI for voice acting for Waifu Death Squad since there are so many speaking parts, and my response was "why would I want to do that? Working with actors is the fun part, because they'll surprise you with their line reads or dialogue tweaks."

Let's get ACCOUNTABLE for Tuesday, November 11th!

I'm not sure precisely why, but I've been riding the Mood Train ride at Jamie Land hard these past few days. Currently, I seem to be okay, so we'll try to do something with that.

Food, drink, and meds acquired. Writing now begins.

Satirical superhero action in a world where the government runs the battles and falling in love with your assigned nemesis is definitely against the rules. @jbgarnerwrites.bsky.social

They are the people who want to be writers, who want to have the mark of "written a book" on their internal resume, not the people who want to write books for fulfillment or NEED to write books for their psyche.

It's a subtle but critical difference in understanding these people.
That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually.

The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.
In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.

Really concerned that multiple transfem adult creators on my TL are being suspended from income sources. Some are having trouble affording food.

Autumn presents an excellent point. I know who I want biting at my neck, and it sure as heck ain't capitalism.

P.S. If you are vampire-girlfriend-shaped, or even girlfriend-shaped, applications are available at the help desk.
Might as well get you a vampire girlfriend because, at the end of the day, who do you REALLY want draining you of blood? A monster girlfriend or capitalism?
