If people take small sff presses seriously, the editors should be paid and editing be recognised as a profession.

But... people do take sff presses for granted and moan when the press collapses.

So... I don't know what the problem is. 😑😭

I think at the end of the day, people forget that the sff scene is propelled by mostly unpaid labour.

And presses and editors still need to eat. You know, thrive.

But people always forget that.

You’re a dear about big upping (bigging up?) other people’s works though. We notice.

Self promo is my bane; it makes me feel like an immense tit when I post stuff about my writing (thanks to upbringing - never blow your own horn), but it is increasingly apparent that all it means is that I'm utterly invisible as a writer...

So, anyway.

I have books and stories out there.

i LIVE to financially ruin entire industries
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

I’m a big fan of the “I did this” list. I don’t automatically feel the satisfaction of a job well done, but I can get a tiny dopamine jolt by crossing out items on a long list afterward 😮‍💨
If you have ADHD & you have a whirl-windy day where you magically get things done, I highly suggest doing a “reverse to-do list”.

Write down everything you did like it’s a to-do list you need to do, then give yourself the satisfaction of crossing it off!

Mine is 15 items long & I feel amazing.
