I am once again participating in the Megasale with donations going to the Mary Cariola Center. Over 300 authors are participating this year with books set to either 0.99c or free! In my case, that includes my audio books, if you "buy" direct from my website.

Been a crazy week, but among the other news... I made it to the shortlist of Flash 500's novel opening contest with chapter 1 of Blood and Bloom in Las Vegas (unpublished of course which it has to be for the competition).

"I certainly had no feeling for harmony, and Schoenberg thought that that would make it impossible for me to write music. He said, 'You'll come to a wall you won't be able to get through.' So I said, 'I'll beat my head against that wall.' " --John Cage

I enjoyed the Harper trilogy. It suffers (as all her books do) from girl is competent, but not willing to take up leadership role. Meets guy, gets married, guy takes leadership. But still, I appreciate her books, even if that pattern does get a little tiring lol.

I always do mine after I finished the chapter. I don't know enough about what I'm going to write next to do it ahead of time hahaha

Sam Altman has said that OpenAI will burn through 115 BILLION dollars (yep, you read that right), increasing his estimate by 90 BILLION. Literally 115 BILLION dollars LOSS. He's getting the money from his investors. This has got to be the biggest con job in history. How do you beat 115 BILLION?!
