More #characterArt for #Wildforged with @mementoviverepress.bsky.social Artists are always chasing the feeling where we get so immersed in the process, ie “flow.” Working on this #illustration everything just… clicked. Like it was something I’d already made and I was retracing the shape of.

Almost every writer secretly (or not so secretly) has a playlist that inspires their words. Music can enhance books and give you a peek into an author's head while they are writing a MOOD.

A land where magic is forbidden. Power and secrets, buried long ago in the snow. A fractured hero, with wolf and wilderness within. Will his hunt lead him to darkness, or instead shed light on his life and the world around him? #Wildforged #Fantasy #LGBTQIA #ShortRead #Novelette #AvailableNow

As we enter the last days of pride month I’ll leave you with these. We were shown this year that pride is more important than ever. Not the perceived sinful pride of the Bible or pride goeth before the fall but the pride of survival. Of knowing one’s self.

Look, I can't fix war, but I can keep writing and encouraging others to write queer little books and make queer little art and then scream about it as a little offerings of joy to anyone who spends a little to get them, and I've decided - that has to be enough.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

Book (and merch) mail from @duckprintspress.com !!! Happy day 🥳🥳🥳

A photo of a book and merch on a dark wood shelf. The book is Hockey Bois: A Beer League Romance by A.L. Heard. There are three bookmarks fanned out next to it: one with three swords raised to the sky, the other with petals on a blue background, and a third with a person in a navy kimono. On top of the book is a magnet with three swords painted at a smiling person's chest. Next to it is a sticker of a kelpie in green, gray, white, and black.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

TOS scene. We're outdoors in an arena of some kind with old rocky columns and artifacts surrounding an open dirt area designed for some kind of event or show. A sky colored red lends itself to the passion on display. In the middle, Spock and Kirk are laying on the ground together, Kirk on top, Spock on the bottom, thier bodies intertwined. A love that dareth not speaketh it's name. No caption.

I’m pretty exhausted really. All the work leading up the show, trying to stay a float while holding onto months of work. It’s all worth it but it’s so hard for me to slow down when I’m use to such a high speed. This week I’ll take it slow and take my time to get to the show opening on the 7th.
