I've been off Bluesky and only just now getting back in the querying trenches. Its nice of you guys to do this. I always seem to miss the question sessions but its still a nice gesture.

In their entirety.....are we sure? Republicans have had it for how long?

I'm just human. We get too bogged down in differences when we're all the same species.

Republicans are always pushing to block citizens from voting. Its the only way they win elections since they do not represent the majority.

So I found the old Super Nintendo game Wing Commander I played when I was 12 on EA Games for $2! I'm regressing to childhood on my laptop now. Much needed respite from the barbaric querying trenches! #writerslife #gamer

So Republicans have the House, the Senate and the White House but nothing is their fault. Really?

Let's see how this Maga boycott of Netflix floats. Or will it be like the dozens of other Maga boycotts that fizzled. We know what happens when the Left boycotted Disney. Disney panicked and capitulated. Will Netflix even notice?

Republicans don't care about the will of the people and free elections not when they have a pedophile in the white house that needs defending.

I guess only a real writer would keep writing when the deck is so hopelessly stacked against them in the traditional publishing industry. Here I go, shifting back to my urban fantasy tale. All so it can sit on my laptop for eternity. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

None of those Maga morons even know what "gender" even is...I mean the literal definition.

Why are conservatives allowed to spew any hate they want, but if someone fires back they become hapless victims? I am so sick of these people!

William Michael @wmichael4078.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

As a writer in his mid-40s mired in the query trenches, it's nice to hear other writers talk about things I can relate with in your podcast. I have no one in my immediate circle to talk about these things with, so it's appreciated.

I was a little confused, but thank you for the clarification. I'll just disregard the request. Take care.

That's me 100% If someone pays my book a compliment, I get suspicious and begin expecting for them to ask for my social security and credit card numbers 🤣 I have to remind myself of a saying I heard, 'If you love what you wrote, odds are others will too--you're not as unique as you think yuou are.

LOL---I got to say I've had enough Beta Readers come back at me with constructive feedback and also genuine praise. I've had to learn to accept the praise which has been hard because I think my default mode is to hate everything I write, haha

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #Fantasy Today's word: POCKET Cullen trying to hide his social unease and an injury that would have left him in a wheelchair if he hadn't been born in the 61st-century while meeting his 21st-century girlfriend Angie's friends for lunch.

Reading recommendations needed: Looking for books that start in one genre and evolve into another. Not talking about portal fantasy - more like stories where the scope expands dramatically. What have you found? #Booksky #WritingCommunity #Fantasy

I selected to get a copy but never got a copy. I think I remember the link to the graphic but I'm not sure. Can I submit it again, and if it is a duplicate, someone can just delete it?

In Times Destiny, Angie a 21st century barista and Cullen a 61st century starship commander have psionic powers drawn directly from the universe. Angie is a powerful telekinetic while Cullen's empathic powers led to his acumen in starship combat. #FantaysIndiesSeptember #WritingCommunity

I don't have questions, just wanted to thank you for all your work around this event. Folks might not realize just how much effort goes into it.

I've seen them use AI to predict viral mutations and make vaccines successfully. Writing, or drawing or music...AI might be able to mimic the words or the notes like a photocopy but anything AI makes is devoid of heart and soul. The creative human fire can't be recreated by AI.

000

William Michael @wmichael4078.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

AI is sure taking us into some choppy waters. I'm not one of those who fears 'AI will take over the world!' Yet, we need to proceed with caution before it gets to that point.

William Michael @wmichael4078.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

I was always taught the mere act of writing a book, is an implied copyright. Printing it out, mailing it to yourself was sort of a cheap copyright option. Anthropic is so insidious.

It's not really, but it could be! Even magick v. science isn't the core of the story. At its heart its a love story about people. Space travel & magick just happen around the people.

Times Destiny's newest pitch. No more poking at the prose or fiddling with the graphics...oh who am I kidding? For now it's here though. #WritingCommunity #SFF #AmQuerying #Fantasy

William Michael @wmichael4078.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

#FantasyIndiesSeptember #WritingCommunity Something in Times Destiny that surprised me? How alike magick and science actually could be. It's all about perception. So how the universe works varies depending on how you look at it.
