Dot 1.0 is the first sentient AI. When she comes out no one believes her, not even her lesbian creator. Yet AI haters fear her and want her destroyed. Can she prove her sentience, protect her creators, and save herself all before she’s erased? #SFFpit #A #SF #OWN

@ccadelago how can I get tickets to attend the California Senate Debate? I’ll be in the area.

@BethanyGJacobs @LauraPAuthor Congratulations! Can’t wait to see the cover! And then the novel!

@JoannaNoBanana Weathers been rough on my body and head. Grief from not hearing from my daughter for over a year is building up. Migraines galore. Next week will be better - mantra required.

After a lousy year of searching for an agent for my novel. Cloaked Press gave me a boost. My first sci-fi short story is officially published!

@hallejwrites Yes, this process sucks. Hang in there or try other options. At least they asked to read the full! Take the partial win.

@roxananourishad Hang in there. Nothing about publishing is fair or sensitive- just keep looking for the right fit or self publish.

I’m getting another short story published!

@MarisaKabas OMG. I just can’t believe the amount of lies this guy tells. This somehow doesn’t surprise me - he’s left behind his former life - well he tried. Next we’ll hear from his ex-wife about more lies.

NEW: I just spoke by phone with Eula Rochard, a Brazilian drag queen who was friends with George Santos when he lived near Rio. She said everyone knew him as Anthony (*never* George), or by his drag name, Kitara, and confirms this photo is from a 2008 drag show at Icaraí Beach.

@annmrose Thank you Ann! I appreciated getting your rejection letter. At least I know you saw my query and read my first pages. Keep on keeping on.

Grieving this time of year - my dad, mom, grandma, rejection letters, and Twitter too. Thankful for my dog, friends, and a few family members.

I finally got a query letter rejection that was helpful. I just need a stronger first chapter. If only I had an idea how! #amquerying #writerscommunity

@HamOnWheels I’m sorry for your (and your daughters) experience- but feel angry and sad for the kids who need a place to play and learn about differences in a fun environment. This is so bad on so many levels.
