A fifty year old mystery + a glitchy unhinged AI + two broken teens, barely holding it together… they’ll be fiiiiine.

Probably.

@Linnaeus_Writer Travel via query seems like it would be pretty slow.

Thanks for the memories.

This was the first game that my son played with me. He was 9 at the time. We played it together until he moved out and went to college.

These are some of the most cherished memories I have of being his dad.

@Linnaeus_Writer Thanks, fun prompt!

Matt Dinniman’s ability to tell genuinely compelling, emotional stories in the middle of the most absolutely chaotic moments imaginable is unmatched.

Anyone else read the recap Samantha did in the prologue of DCC Parade of Horribles and think, yeah, that's what my book synopsis sounds like. Just me?

@sirbenjaminjr @afriendlygamer The premise literally made me laugh. Well done.

@HerringAli I’m literally about to sit down and do mine. Send help.

@erniechiara No worries, best of luck to you too!

@vickyweberbooks Hi Vicky, thanks for sharing, this is really insightful. As someone who is about to start querying their MG manuscript, this has given me a lot to think about. Would it be ok if I DM’d you a question?

@madschimento Fifty years ago three kids disappeared during an eclipse. Unless Miami, the awkward new kid in town, and Penny, his only friend, can decode the warnings of a glitchy AI hidden in a Nintendo game by Friday, it’s going to happen again.

@MadelynKnecht I have both AirPods and Bose QC 45 and like them both. The Bose specifically are so comfortable- like what I’d imagine marshmallows would feel like on my ears.

[Jay Busta @JayBusta214]

@HerringAli I’ll help you round that out if you open up your queries.

[Jay Busta @JayBusta214]

@HerringAli Im also from the 1900’s - and my problem has always been using em dashes—or regular dashes too much. And definitely improperly.

I think it’s hilarious that it’s apparently a sign of AI writing.

[Jay Busta @JayBusta214]

@TheCinesthetic People always sleep on CHILDREN OF MEN. So good.

[Renee Runge (CLOSED to queries) @rrreadsbooks]

The fearmongering over em-dashes is beyond silly. I promise you’re fine. Agents know what AI writing looks like.

@PJScribbansAuth I usually find that a scene is finished only until the next time I read it. 🤷🏽‍♂️
