I don't like #conflict
But I'll face it head on
If you've wronged me
You'll live to regret
No prisoners taken
Bullshit detector alert
If you caused discord
Oh Lord, you can bet
I'll eviscerate with fact
There's no turning back
When my temper frays
Your days
In my life
Are
Numbered

For me, 500 words per day would become half a novel... Also time is taken up on research and editing on the go, but I'll keep going...my current novel needs lots of research. I'm currently at 16k. #writerslife
There are 103 days until December 31st.
If you wrote 500 words every day from now until then you would have a novel completed by the end of the year.

I've seen loads of fake beta reader accounts on Bluesky. Their pages are full of book promo posts as they'll share & comment to try to lure authors into conversations. They want to get a relationship going with a view to scamming. They're sharks!
I hadn't realized that #betaread scammers were so prevalent until I started seeing them more and more on Bluesky. Here's a good breakdown of what these scams entail and how to vet any beta readers or #editors you work with:

Opening my email this morning
I said "What the hell?"
Junk inbox had 250 messages
Sent from email hell
I clicked to delete the spam
Gone In one fell swoop
#Marveled as they vanished
Digital goop
Then to my horror
Another spam attack
Junk inbox refilled
The spam had come straight back!

"I'd like to #explore the possibility..."he said in a low secretive tone
"Yes?" she responded eagerly
"Of drinks...maybe dinner"
Finally!
He was SO into her!
She'd seen the signs
Lingering chats by the photocopier
Shared glances in meetings
"Jake isn't seeing anyone, is he?" he added
Oh!

This was perfect. It needs to be played out of speakers 'Made by Donkeys style' at Anthropic HQ in San Francisco.

She'd be impressed. 20 y/o me had no desire to be an author. I just wanted to sculpt. And now I write for a living and sculpt... it's pretty miraculous.
Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?

Carney telling the European Parliament that what's needed is an alliance - his word, repeated - where nobody gets to tell the EU and Canada what to do.
Good *LORD*.
And met with a standing ovation.
Well, that's that for the previously-existing form of Atlanticism, then.

In response to a thread about True Crime...
I don't see people's worst life event as entertainment... and I'm fine with being judgy. I find the true crime trend fucking obscene. It's a part of the desensitizing to the horrors of humanity. It's why when there are atrocities, like in Gaza, people shrug, and scroll on.
