Authors League Fund
Shamelessly pilfered from @neil-gaiman, who wrote this:
I serve on the Board of Directors of the Authors League Fund, which helps career writers in financial need. As an emergency fund, we provide non-taxable cash support for rent, utilities, groceries, medical bills, and other pressing needs. We have been doing this work since 1917, helping thousands of professional writers across the US. If you become aware of a writer who might benefit from our support, please send them our way: www.authorsleaguefund.org. Applications are confidential and handled quickly and with respect.
We help a broad range of writers: authors, journalists, critics, essayists, poets, short story writers, dramatists, and—recently added—graphic novelists and librettists. We have a special focus on health emergencies and writers in retirement, and hope you will keep us in mind if you learn of a friend, colleague, or client who is struggling.
Spread the word...

So grateful to have to kind of support of the Dunmanifestin team, Terry Pratchett's estate, and Neil Gaiman who pushed back the GOOD OMENS deadline so I could recover from cancer treatment and shingles.
Wish I could say it's all smooth sailing, but it isn't, especially those exciting neuralgia events.
But with all this pressure now off my back, I am able to get a little more rest, restructure my schedule, and am working steady again.
I should also mention that I had various focus and health issues while working on the Neil Gaiman graphic novel adaptations for Dark Horse. https://amzn.to/44R3aML
Had Neil and Diana Schutz not been incredibly kind and patient, I'd have never made it through TROLL BRIDGE in the first place, and then there would have been no SNOW GLASS APPLES and no CHIVALRY. And of course, Daniel Chabon was a saint of patience with me on those. Never an unkind or cross word.
I know there are other people who never seem to stumble and hit every goal, but I'm not one of them. And certain people used to be very contemptuous of issues I was dealing with.
I don't work with those people anymore.
But I think you can see the results I can get when I'm working with people who are willing to be flexible and patient.
I'm very grateful to the Dunmanifestin team, Neil Gaiman, Diana Schutz, and Daniel Chabon.
Couldn't do it without you.

I apologize if you’ve been asked this question before I’m sure you have, but how do you feel about AI in writing? One of my teachers was “writing” stories using ChatGPT then was bragging about how good they were (they were not good) and said he was going to sell them. To put aside any legal concerns in that, I’m just trying to talk him down from that because, personally, I would not enjoy dream job being taken by AI.
The poor man.
Many magazines have closed their submission portals because people thought they could send in AI-written stories.
For years I would tell people who wanted to be writers that the only way to be a writer was to write your own stories because elves would not come in the night and do it for you.
With AI, drunk plagiaristic elves who cannot actually write and would not know an idea or a sentence if it bit their little elvish arses will actually turn up and write something unpublishable for you. This is not a good thing.

Made fancy tea for my mom for Mother's Day. Mom served as the model for Mrs. Whitaker in my adaptation of Neil Gaiman's CHIVALRY graphic novel You can also see the china I used in the book. It's my favorite pattern.

I intend to use the word squick until the moon goes blue from cold.
Lmao you’re an adult, you shouldn’t be using the word squick. Use trigger. Use your grown up adult words to explain how you feel instead of leaning on a cutesy uwu term that no one outside of tumblr uses. It’s embarrassing.
Idek if this is serious or ironic honestly
