Getting closer for my short story, The Leviathan's Price, to be published in the upcoming anthology, Corsairs and Cutlasses. My first ever short story published! Well, I have published some before, but not under this brand. I have a new plan, and I'm off to a great start!
All of my life I have been told how to act by ppl who don't even know me, or know me well enough to know better. I say as long as we do no harm, we should always be ourselves. Even when in being ourselves it becomes a lifestyle of great protest.
My magic school story "The Dancer" is now live in the anthology "Fantastic Schools: Familiars"! If you're looking for a story about a corrupted witch in an evil magic school who seeks redemption with the help of a loyal familiar, check it out! www.amazon.com/dp/B0FXXXNXXG
I originally sent a story submission for this anthology, however, the press received so many stories they liked, they decided to open up a second anthology. I love the cover for this anthology! Can't wait to see the second volume cover.
Hello #WritingCommunity! I'm looking to connect with readers and authors of #darkfantasy and #scifi, especially those in the #LGBTQAI+ lit, and fellow members of the LGBTQAI+!
Also feel free to add me to lists in any of those categories!!!!
❤️🩵🩷💚💜💛🧡
Hello #writingcommunity! I'm new here, and I'm hoping to connect with others who enjoy YA/NA #darkfantasy with #queer characters. I'm hoping to write to market, as I want to give She Who Shall Not Be Named some competition!
Evil dark wizards can't stand a chance if we all unite!
I will be adding a lot of like-minded people, but please, if you're the type to hate an entire group of people, go away! Unless it's Nazis/bigots, I hate those groups too, lol. But everyone else, no blanket hatred. That's called bigotry, and I hate it. I will call it out if I see it.
I look forward to seeing my very first acceptance appear in CORSAIRS AND CUTLASSES with Racooneur Press! My short story, The Leviathan's Price, will be out in November! I'm hoping this is an excellent start to publishing more with Racooneur Press!
I write gritty speculative fiction where friendship is magic, queer bonds are celebrated, and everyday moments shimmer with wonder. Luminous imagery, dry wit, and a love for found family shape their stories.
I'm pansexual, pronouns are she/her, DM with respect.
Not looking to hookup!
What's the Future Fiction Academy? Come check it out! Since I became a member, I have been blessed with a wonderful writing community, and have learned so much! Still learning, and will continue to learn. Not to mention, they just created their own press!
Haters need not apply.

LOVED IT! And that press they're talking about? I'm apart of it! I write under a new penname for the FFP, but it's still dark fantasy, with a lot of grimdark influence. With the FFP, I write to market, but it's going to be awesome!

Whoa, watching this video, that beginning tip, OMG. This is soooo old school. I'm not saying that she's wrong, it's just old school. Things have changed. Writing has changed. Publishing has changed.

Fear, Court Cases, and Community: Moving Beyond the AI Witch Hunts

I get it that ppl get sick of drama, me too. The issue is, there are ppl who create drama, and then the ppl they punch down on get tired of it, but those who are picked on get criticized. The secret for avoiding drama is, don't create it. Be kind. Be classy.
Lookie here, the court agrees with me that AI training isn't theft. I'm sooo shocked, lol. If it is theft, then every artist who ever trained on another broke the law. Don't comment unless you watched the entire video. Trolls need not apply.

This is really cool. Back in 2023, I wanted to write an anthology about bards in a grimdark fantasy, where they are the lead characters. I wanted to come up with songs by those bards as well, something on the level of the bard songs from The Witcher series, now I might be able to do that with Suno.
I don't have an issue with AI training on my writing, if this comes up, which it will. I have an issue when websites pirate books, that's a completely different issue. So yes, I do take issue with AI training on books that being pirated bc I don't support piracy.

Now to ruffle some feathers, lol.
This being said, NO, I don't support LibGen.

Love this site! One of the best writing communities out there. And given all the toxicity in the writing community over AI, this site is refreshing. Not to mention there's a lot of education on writing with AI.
Haters need not apply, lol.

Apparently, it's world BUY MY BOOKS day!
... wait ... I'm being told other books are included too...
Anyway - you know what to do!
When bullies try to tell me how I'm allowed to post, and what settings I'm allowed to use hehe (this happens a lot, my profile my rules, and vise-versa):
I love these guys. Jay's story reminds me a little of Reign of Fire, so I'm intrigued. I also love how Jay thinks, ppl who say writers who use AI aren't real writers are full of shit. Actually listen to us, yes fuckers, we are actual writers, lol.

Book cover for Nicole Givens Kurtz's Urban Fantasy novel, Reaping by Numbers. It shows a Black woman in a belted black trench coat with flared reddish black train walking along a rainsoaked street. She's wearing a black fedora.
Today's my birthday. It would be great if everyone could either:
1. leave a review of my work, if you've ready any.
2. Check out the pre-order for my upcoming urban fantasy
3. Be kind to each other
4. Read and support indie authors and Black authors in SF
You can pre-order at mochamemoirspress.com.
Trying out my new wax seal and sending this off into the world.
🧵Very cool. I used 3.5 a lot, but then I got into DeepSeek, which is still a favorite of mine, and GPT 4, now the 4.5. I tend to go back and fourth, I use whichever gives me the best output. I also get AI to write like me, but I still do a lot of the writing/editing on
