After some research, I have names for my main characters!

Kiki Kekoa
A Hawaiian-Japanese junior high student and shonen protagonist, always wearing new scars and bandaids. She is a mesugaki (brat) who steals and amplifies her powers based on the aggression they have towards her. First she twists a knife in your mind, then your body.

Kaimana Kekoa
Her 7' father who intimidates everyone but is a chill, caring guy. Born in Hawaii, a widower. Lives for his daughter.

So, putting the book down where you finish reading it until it organically evolves into a pile of books doesn't count as "arranging"? Rude! 😜😂

I do like both, and I've never understood why this is an issue, is it not the content of the book that matters? Not how that content is delivered? 🤔😁

Book launch
Ali Smith: GLYPH
29 Jan, Portobello Bookshop, Edinburgh, & online – ticketed

Ghosts don’t exist.
They don’t. End of.
Story, however.
It is haunting.
Everything tells it.

GLYPH is Ali Smith’s most soulful, playful & vital novel yet, a work of lightness that goes deep to counter the forces currently flattening the modern world. Smith will be in conversation with Jess Orr.

All language is weird, but I sometimes wonder if English isn't the weirdest 🤔

Also, does that technically make liguistics a Weird Science 😁

But even then I think TV and movies based on books are often better than a lot of other TV or movie writing, so perhaps it's not all bad? 🤔😁

Did anyone else try out the Apple Voice Technology offered for free by Draft2Digital to produce audiobooks? I was amazed at how terrible and primitive the Apple Voice Technology actually is, considering what Apple is. Here's one clue about how terrible the technology is: I wrote a book in 2023 under the pen name N.J. Edwards. The computer-generated male voice introduced the audiobook this way: "This is an audiobook by author New Jersey Edwards. Granted, New Jersey Edwards is a fantastic pen name. I wish I'd thought of it. But that is not the author's name on the front of my book. The audiobook of my novel BEER POUR is so atrocious that there's actual computer code jibberish spoken in the middle of a dialogue scene. I could go on and on about all the flaws, but there's not enough room here. Go back to the drawing board, Apple. #Apple #audiobook #books #bookstodon #mastodon #book #novel #novel #voice #tech #technology #author #NewJersey #draft2digital #D2D #computergenerated #computer #introduction #intro #introductions #scribesAndMakers #writing #writersCoffeeClub #writer #publishing #MyWork #writersOfMastodon #writers #writersLife #indieAuthor #author #authors #audio #audiofiction #startup

I was commenting on how terrible Apple Voice Technology is for creating audiobooks. It can't even get the author's name right.

Robin Jenkins (1912–2005) – “the best-kept secret in modern British literature” & one of Scotland’s most prolific 20th-century novelists – was born #OTD, 11 Sep. Dr Linden Bicket argues that Jenkins anticipates the urban realist fictions of Galloway, Kelman & Welsh

As a society, we need to stop pretending that YA is a decent genre when it's the literary equivalent of a marvel movie.
