#writers For the same reason I prefer a home-cooked meal to a factory made frozen meal prepared by a microwave, I am always going to choose to read a book by Barbara Kingsolver or Anne Tyler, or any human novelist, rather than one manufactured by AI, no matter how well it imitates a human writer.

Good piece about Kazuo Ishiguro this morning in The Guardian. On writing sci fi as a literary novelist: “I was following something more internal. I wasn’t angling for someone to shout ‘Judas’.” 📚💙🖋️ #writingncommunity www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

‘AI will become very good at manipulating emotions’: Kazuo Ishiguro on the future of fiction and truth

On the 20th anniversary of Never Let Me Go, the Nobel prize-winning novelist talks about the role of the author in a post-truth world – and why he’s ‘not a great writer of prose’

#BookSky #writingcommunity #authors #fiction #writing I've just discovered Plottr - it looks just the ticket for planning out my next novel. New territory for me; I've always been primarily a pantser rather than a plotter… Do you use Plottr, and if so, what is your opinion of it? plottr.com

Before any plants were taller than three feet, and before any animal with a backbone had made it out of the water, the earth was dotted with two-story-tall, silo-like fungi.

They shape the world—and offer lessons for how to live in it.

Currently knee-deep in the second read-through and line edits of my sequel, and I just realized... I’ve been calling one of my characters the wrong name this entire time. Even in my crossover short stories! 😲🤯 Fellow #writers, please tell me I’m not alone in this disaster? #writingcommunity

Periodic reminder that: 🔸 There are no "rules" in writing 🔸 Even if there was, there's always folks who break them 🔸 My advice is for writers who want the best chance of success at trad/self publishing 🔸 That isn't the only way to do things 🔸 You're the best judge of what's right for your story

A narrow curved track leads through a stand of tall, straight, evergreen trees, following the contour of a steep hill that rises to the left and falls away to the right.
