Reposted by Dragon Crown BooksJoe Hill @joe-hill.bsky.social · 23/03/2024I recently signed a contract asking if there was any AI generated content in a story I had written. I simply wrote “no” when what I really wanted to write was “I’d rather die.” 14658105

Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 27/02/2024If you wonder why I publish my books independently, there's this: I made as much $ this month (typically the slowest of the year) as I did in a full year from my contract-published books. #amwriting 000

Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 19/02/2024If it were up to me, I would make Arbor Day a national holiday instead of #PresidentsDay. Trees keep people alive; presidents kill them. 000
Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 19/02/2024This revelation that authors were excluded from the #Hugos ballot to appease China is inexcusable. If a venue can corrupt the process, the solution is simple: go elsewhere. These awards have lost all credibility going forward. Once credibility has been lost, you can't unhinged that bell. 000

Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 08/02/2024The idea that Congress would have to "activate" the Constitution's insurrection clause to disqualify a candidate is patently absurd. What if Congress had to "activate" the First Amendment wherever someone sought to invoke it? Or how about the Second Amendment? Conservatives would LOVE that! 000
Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 08/02/2024Trump's #SCOTUS arguments that he's not an "officer" of the U.S. and that one can "preserve and protect" the Constitution but not "support" it are absurdist interpretations of language and intent that must be soundly rejected. 000
Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 08/02/2024One sure sign of a desire for dictatorship is the rejection of anything bipartisan. 000

Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 05/02/2024I just got done reading an article on the #Hugos. With that level of corruption and unexplained bias, I honestly don't see how these awards have any credibility left - especially after the "sad puppies" debacle a few years back. 010

Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 30/01/2024Trump has conditioned the right to (falsely) equate anger and mistrust with "strength." Meanwhile, many on the left demand outrage as a prerequisite for acceptance. With so much animosity going around, is it any wonder we're so divided? 000
Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 28/01/2024For all of you in favor of blackballing artists, I'd kindly refer you to the ghost of Joseph McCarthy. He knew a lot about that particular subject. It's far more impactful to stand up FOR what you believe in than it is to jump on bandwagons and play whack-a-mole with everyone who offends you. 000
Dragon Crown Books @dragoncrown.bsky.social · 28/01/2024Being an author doesn't make you the world's ethics cop. You have no obligation to comment on every literary scandal that comes down the pike or block other authors as a sign of outrage. You have just two responsibilities: to live your own best life with integrity... and to WRITE! 010
