#PennedPossibilities 753 — Where do your SCs feel the happiest?

I'll mention a few of them here in a list...

Trick (who later becomes one of the MCs): With the gang (and Alexios).
Vonic: At the Apex Nightclub, relaxing after a long day.
Dante: At his clinic, or with Noona.
Junk: With his friends, but it doesn't matter where.
Cosmia: At her bar, chatting with the "regulars" she has.
Rain: In front of a computer, working on problem solving.
Jack: With his brother, drinking or having a meal at home.
Noona: With Dante, of course. The location doesn't matter.
Catalina Faraday: At the club, after f*cking sh*t up and ruining lives.

#WordWeavers 2025.08.11 — Looking back at the beginning of your writing journey, what advice would you give yourself?

First thought: Don't. (My life would have been a lot different had I pursued a career in science or folklore, or at least didn't have writing as a distraction.)

Second thought: When you sell that first book in two weeks to a New York publisher, take it seriously. It's not to be expected. It really isn't that easy. You've performed a miracle, won the lottery! Write those sequels, complete the other novels—fast, tout de suite; don't get that day job immediately! Work it!

Ever stumble across a last name that sounds like it belongs in a novel?
Some carry centuries of history, others feel like they were made for fantasy worlds.

I’ve been collecting some of the most interesting ones lately — the kind that make you want to know the story behind them.
Here’s my favorite find: explore unique and rare last names and see which ones spark your imagination.

is language the key to intelligence, both to human intelligence as well as to artificial intelligence? here are some observations on language and ai following ideas from the philosopher philip pettit

cogmodo.com/aiandlanguage

cogmodo.comAI and Language | cogmodoThe evolution of human cognition is debated. Some arguing it stems from the brain's development, while others propose an outside-in approach, emphasizing the role of social environments and language. Large Language Models (LLMs) rely heavily on language data, raising questions about their potential for developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) and mirroring human cognitive evolution. This begs the question: are LLMs the beginning of a new species?

Excessively Diverting

Kate Beaton is a comic artist who had a semi-regular web series called Hark! A Vagrant! (harkavagrant.com/). She's ended the series, but her archives are a wonderful backlog of her poking fun at history.

Her spins on the Brontës and Austen never fail to amuse me.

Lex Starwalker 🚀

This week on my super-niche #writing #podcast I begin my multi-episode series on exploring the setting of #TheCulture series by Iain M. Banks. Topics include how 9,000 years is a really long time and convergent human evolution across the galaxy. How “alien” will alien life really be? If you love sci-fi, worldbuilding, and/or The Culture, you won’t want to miss this series!

Mastodon GamesToni Snark (@meeple@mstdn.games)Calling all writers! Back in the pandemic, I started a group called The All Write Collective. We met every Wednesday over Zoom, and we wrote. We encouraged each other with our positive feedback and held each other accountable with our presence. We did this for a couple of years and then it petered out as people reentered the world. I found that I stopped writing, which is a shame. It's possible that other members did too, which is a bigger shame. I'm reviving it. I took a writing workshop from Nathan Monk and was galvanized to resume writing. I want to share that with all of you and encourage you to join me. I invite you to join. Let me know if you want in and I'll give you a link to the Facebook group. The first session of the revival of Write Club will be this Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 Central time.
