Someone mentioned this on Threads so it may be helpful to share here as well: A lot of agents were attending the AALA conference in NYC today, so you may see more #DVpit requests in the coming days. So don’t fear if you haven’t gotten any likes yet. It may still be coming. Just bad timing.

It is an unfortunate situation that could have been avoided. Hopefully at the next event organizers will do some collision research before posting event tags. Next I also know to my own collision research prior to participating. I just want to help get the word out to any other chapter book authors.

SEVERANCE X IRON WIDOW BDSM space opera in which BFFs Aylinde and Narius fake the D/s relationship they both want to protect Aylinde from a foe that won’t stay dead. When Narius is blackmailed, he must choose between love and loyalty–and both could be based on lies. #DVPit #A #F #R #SF #DIS #LGBT

OCEAN'S ECHO X IRON WIDOW You know fake dating; get ready for fake sex slavery. Pining BFFs Narius and Aylinde...like it, but instead of a consensual D/s relationship, they get blackmail, conspiracy, and treason. Can they hold it together enough not to be killed for real? #DVPit #A #R #SF #LGBT #DIS

Just a reminder, we ask #DVpit participants NOT to use agent guides. Everyone using 300 characters offers a taste of your book & ensures an equal chance for all. Additionally if some include pitch decks/agent guides as an image, it bogs down the feed. More guidelines here: dvpit.carrd.co#faq

Ableds on accessibility, the last several years: Plastic straws: So what if people genuinely require these to live, they should make sacrifices for the environment. Covid: surely you can't expect us to mask for the comfort of a few! If someone's going to die from covid maybe they should.

Giving a guest lecture at Carleton this morning and I'm absolutely disgusted to report that doing my slide deck ahead of time, rather than scrambling the morning of to finish, the way I've done every single other slide deck in my life, enhances the quality of the presentation. I am furious.

This is a fantastic point I had not considered before. The _act_ of writing is the actual practice, not the end-result. The refining of so much you do happens in the dialogue you have with the page.

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you. Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

He's more than "not funny," even; he's *anti-funny*, an actively opposing counterforce to "funny," which, when present, makes it impossible for funny to occupy nearby space lest there be large explosions and a rip in the fabric of reality

My (least) favourite way people put this is "I like all body types but health is important. You should be someone who takes care of themselves" Health! Is not! under people's control! and the people who are like this have no idea how much "taking care of ourselves" sick and/or disabled people do.
