This weekend we're talking about projecting & recognizing patterns within the world that we are in, and then building worlds that we want. Check it out, super interesting! https://f.mtr.cool/tycfwdullm #writing #scifi #fyp

Book two seems to be closing in at about 80k words. Still reworking the ending, but I have had so much fun with this #novel. The Herd Series has truly been the reprieve I have needed #writing #scifi #books #fyp #postapocalypticbooks #dystopia

☕ Making coffee + thinking about PG County:
#Nonprofits protested funding cuts—now Council Chair Edward Burroughs says he’ll restore the money next cycle.

But the deeper story? Local leaders and funding in politics.

New #newsletter out today!
After a conversation with a sharp Gen Z podcaster, I found myself unpacking the myth of a media cabal. Spoiler: it’s not what you think. Let’s break it down—what’s really happening behind the headlines. open.substack.com/pub/jennyaba...

I’m deep in revisions for book 2 & somehow hit 77k words! Also—drumroll—I officially have a new author site! You can now order from B&N, Walmart, directly from me via Stripe, and of course, Amazon (for those who haven’t sworn it off)

I had so much fun having this conversation. #Writing this book was a form of #therapy for me, so it felt only fitting to join the Black Writer Therapy #Podcast to talk about the process, life as a Black woman doing this work, and all the things I needed to get off my chest along the way. #blackbooks

Hey!! Your girl (me) is now a sci-fi author! The Herd- When Democracy Falls is a dystopian novel that mirrors the chaos of modern media, misinformation, and disillusionment with power structures. People say it's The Hunger Games grown up meets Black Mirror! Like and share please!

With proportions that make Disney princesses look average, AI influencers are racking up followers and signing brand deals—earning money for their creators and giving marketers new ways to connect with audiences. This topic is a rabbit hole worth going down. www.jamcq.com/p/the-rise-o...

Ever have fun writing something? So for this piece I did, I interviewed the maker of one of my favorite orange wine brands. He was just as cool as the brand. www.jamcq.com/p/dear-ameri... www.jamcq.com/p/dear-ameri... #orangewine #culture #wine #business #culturalintelligence @jamcq.bsky.social
