I'll be participating in some fun writing things throughout November. More soon, but I'm excited to connect with some writers this Fall!

#Writingcommunity - What are you working on right now? What are some writing goals you want to hit before the end of the year?

Back here to squeal about the release of a game I've literally thought every day about since its announcement! I know it's been in beta online but I'm so pumped for its release on Switch!

Aside from how much I LOVE these books, the cover designs are too good! If anyone is looking for tarot, demons, magic, queerness, and poly rep in a book series, look no further.

Finishing the new season of The Bear and season 2 of Severance in the same weekend has put me in the weirdest mental state.

If you ever wanted to build a TTRPG one-shot, I'll be hosting a panel on how to get started! We'll go over the history of TTRPGs, common anxieties about storytelling in this medium, and exercises/resources to help. All part of the annual @writehive.bsky.social conference!

Hi all. I've had an unexpected life event happen and will need to find somewhere to live ASAP. So with that, I want to share my freelance website. I have 10 years of publishing experience and was previously a literary agent.

Making AI audiobooks feels like a litmus test for how far AI can creep into publishing and the creative process. It started with covers and in-house AI platforms. Now, audio is the next checkbox.

Eric Smith @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social · May 13

Very weird to see writers cheering for A.I. audiobooks. This is the same horrible machine that they want to replace YOU. Audiobook narrators are your peers.

Anyone else playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? I'm 20 hours in and it is absolutely stunning. The graphics. The story. The combat style. 10000/10!!

Yes that's exactly right! It captures such a specifc feeling of being young. And so narratively captivating too!

Has anyone else played Lost Records: Bloom & Rage?

I'm on my second playthrough now and it is so amazing, emotionally devastating, and captures being a teenager so well!
