A prompt game for the month of November, titled #Novmemeber (as in meme). Hosted by @sagetgreene.bsky.social . The bottom says "Have fun, interact, and remember alt text!"

With a GIF: the vibes of your WIP 3. A meme that summarizes your MC 4. Inside jokes/references in WIP 5. Your Antagonist’s green flags 6. A song that reminds you of your WIP 7. With a GIF: MC at the start of WIP 8. Write your WIP’s plot using only emojis 9. Draw your MC in 60 secs 10. Get to know the author: a fun fact about YOU 11. What is your MC’s fursona? 12. With a GIF: how do you feel about editing? 13. A meme that would make one of your characters laugh (who/why?) 14. Draw your Antagonist in 60 secs 15. Describe your MC’s home like a real estate listing 16. Anti-comps (what’s the OPPOSITE of your WIP?) 17. What subject could your MC info-dump about? 18. A meme that summarizes a secondary character 19. An alternate title for your WIP 20. With a GIF: out-of-context spoiler 21. A song you think your MC would like (purely vibes!) 22. Your MC’s red flags 23. With a GIF: MC at the end of WIP 24. What is your Antagonist’s fursona? 25. Anti-tropes (tropes you’ve purposely avoided or put a twist?) 26. A meme that summarizes your Antagonist 27. Fan-cast at least 1 character 28. A song on your writing playlist 29. With a GIF: how was your month? 30. Tell us where to buy/support and don’t be subtle!

Although the antagonist's supporters are rioting outside, Sophie believes the truth can change their minds. Polo has spent a lifetime watching the opposite happen. Who's right? 🤔

From an action-comedy novel about the wacky misadventures of a heist crew.

#WIPSnips #AmWriting

💙📖
“What exactly is the truth? Is it really something we can tell those idiots wreaking havoc outside?” said Sophie, watching as Scruffy zigzagged past a vampire engrossed in a debate with a dockworker. “We treat them like idiots, and rightfully so, since they behave like idiots. But shouting at an idiot won't make him any less of an idiot. And lying to an idiot just points him in a different direction. Have we considered why they believe Maestro’s nonsense in the first place? All they ever hear is shouting, Polo. From Florenti, from Maestro, from us, from every headline pouring panic into their heads. They don’t have a quiet place to listen and learn. They obviously haven’t earned one, I don’t deny that. But even idiots can learn, if you stop beating them with the truth, and start showing it to them instead. Show them that we’re not so different, all of us.” She gestured towards the bar, where differences of various shapes and sizes were busy getting equally drunk. “Maybe instead of locking them out, we leave the door open. Let them see for themselves.” She was wise for her age, Polo had to admit, as he met her earnest gaze. Completely wrong, of course, but wise all the same. In his experience, the truth didn’t change minds so much as harden whichever part of the skull it bounced off. And showing it to them would accomplish no more than showing a haddock a fresco. Sophie was right about the way things ought to be, but people, at their very core, simply didn't work like that. If they did, half the city wouldn't be outside proving her wrong.

Thanks, Gabino! Here is a book that blends creative nonfiction about my Mom’s life and my grief at her death with an examination of the comic books of 1976. It’s experimental in form, asking the reader to make connections in the way one puts fragments together when reading comics.

The basic premise of the setting of my novel series is it's always Black Friday. Even before I knew it was narrated by a coffee machine robot, I knew it took place in a mall that spanned the continent, where people lived and never left.

screenshot of starred review of The Great American Deception in Publishers Weekly, full text at https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-946501-21-9 The Great American Deception Scott Stein. Tiny Fox, $14.27 trade paper (228p) ISBN 978-1-946501-21-9 Stein (Mean Martin Manning) delivers a madcap sci-fi take on the hard-boiled detective genre in this fun, near-future romp that’s chock-full of rapid-fire wit, tongue-in-cheek literary allusions, and playful futuristic absurdity. Arjay, a sentient, top-of-the-line coffee machine with an excess of pep, tags along on the cases of old-school PI Frank Harken within the luxurious but dystopian confines of the Great American—a giant, autonomous, U.S.-coast-spanning shopping mall. Though the grumpy gumshoe is not always thrilled by Arjay’s presence, he can’t deny that the bot makes a “damn fine” cup of coffee. When one of the Great American’s inhabitants, Pretty Lovely, hires Harken to find her sister, kidnapped heiress Winsome Smiles, Harken and Arjay are plunged into Great American’s underbelly, where they encounter genre staples including mobsters and incompetent cops. Stein keeps the stakes high and the laughs coming, juxtaposing the gritty mystery and dystopian setting with Arjay’s perky narration to excellent effect. Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight. (May) review in Kirkus reviews of The Great American Deception. full text at: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/scott-stein/the-great-american-deception/ In a giant, futuristic mall, a coffee machine with artificial intelligence excitedly narrates the exploits of its new owner, a retro-style, hard-boiled gumshoe. Stein’s (Lost, 2019) satirical SF detective yarn at least initially owes much to Douglas Adams before the material finds its own humorous tone. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fans may recall Adams’ ancillary detail of robotic home appliances with “Real People Personalities,” often annoying, single-minded entities. And coffee machines were among those conveniences so accessorized. Arjay, the first-person (or first-gadget?) narrator here, is such a device, an ever upbeat, persistent, and talkative “top of the line” coffee maker. Arjay gets delivered to Frank Harken, a private eye of the old school, whose beat is the Great American, a fortresslike, coast-to-coast shopping/dining/entertainment/residential mall (shades of Somtow Sucharitkul’s Mallworld). The mall is a consumer paradise and haven for the elite in an otherwise ill-described (but doubtlessly unpleasant) future United States. Because of a prime directive to serve coffee in any circumstance, Arjay is mobile, resourceful, multilimbed, and filled with extra goodies such as laser cutters. The AI becomes sidekick to bemused tough-guy Harken. The chipper appliance recounts their initial case together, a missing custom-dentistry heiress named Winsome Smiles, connected to shady characters and now apparently kidnapped. Arjay’s enthusiastic narration takes readers through not only the standard private investigator clichés (mobsters, clueless authorities, duplicitous dames), but also bizarre boutiques and services (“legstentions”), literary references encompassing The Princess Bride and Edgar Allan Poe, and—in a very Hitchhiker touch—reams of persnickety Arjay non sequitur footnotes.
