Naruto x Basque mythology. A former vessel to a god must get help from a goddess to save her life, but she’ll have to first earn a spot among her warriors in order to get it. #questpit #Q #A #fantasy #Mythology

Picture of a bloody nose, elf ear, autumn forest, shadow demon with red eyes reaching out, and a girl kneeling during a ritual.

As someone who cares a lot about political communication, I'm floored by how good the messaging of No Kings is.

It gave millions of people with diverse interests a single, simple, noncontroversial position to rally around...and a foundation to empower creative expression. Just astonishingly good.

Got a rejection bc high word count, BUT they’re open to review it if lower to industry standard for a debut. Only idk if Adult Fantasy standard is 115k or 120k.😬

120k from 128k is already daunting. I’ve managed to cut 1.5k already. 🫠🫠 #querying #iamquerying #query #querytrenches

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

A pumpkin patch in a variety of shapes and colours, some with carved faces with different expressions. Between the pumpkins are black and white cats, crows, frogs, bushes, twigs and mushrooms.

1. I was so grateful to Alex Cooper for having Dr. Jane Goodall on Call Her Daddy earlier this year which brought Dr. Goodall’s life’s work and example to millions of young women who might have heard of her, or recognized her, but may not have known of the depth of her contribution.

I’ve been seeing videos of authors saying how they sent out 90-100 before they got an agent, so I think that’s a good indicator!! I’m at 61 as of right now.

Alanna Rossi @alannarossi.bsky.social · Sep 17

I don’t even know. Some say to wait till you have feedback and adjust your query/pages, but I’ve been improving both throughout these past 2 months w/o the feedback.

I think I’ll keep sending them.

Alanna Rossi @alannarossi.bsky.social · Sep 16

How many queries is too many? I’ve sent out 34 in 2 months and have gotten 7 responses/rejections. #iamquerying #querytrenches #querying #writing #query

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 27

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

"but you need to acknowledge that-"

I don't need to do anything, that's a fictional character and I'll cheer him on if he ever decides to be actually evil 🙂‍↕️♥️

I still see the "oh, but Solas did terrible things!!" Um ... When? Where? I didn't see or read anything terrible or worse than any other DA character ever did? 🤨 I only saw a nerdy neurodivergent pookie with depression, an anti-hero who only wanted to fix his mistakes, which weren't even his, soo
