(First time responder!) Working on the start of a draft with 6 characters, each with their own mini-plot that follows a particular genre (romance, mystery, horror, sci-fi, spy thriller, history non-fiction). Taking a big bite!

I was at a booth book sale event recently—all self-published & indie publishers. A few of the other authors—who have a looser relationship with AI than I do—mentioned how they used it to help write the back-cover blurbs. Sounds a little like cheating to me, but I’m old school.

Look up the inspirational art (the Met website asks that it not be downloaded, so not putting it here), which adds even more delightful mystery to MMcD’s poem. (Like, what is in her left hand? Bottle of spilled ink? Flower pot?)

Citizen Kane: Election & Defeat Headlines
Alt: Citizen Kane: Election & Defeat Headlines. First headlines “Kane Elected.” When Kane’s campaign insiders realize they can’t use it, they decide on the alternative headline, which reads “Fraud at Polls!” Context: Trump will never admit defeat in the upcoming midterms, instead claiming election fraud.

Wasn’t it Eliot (T.S.) who said “Immature poets imitate. Mature poets steal.”? I’m trying to say the humans are the mature ones, but some of the accusations of AI’s techniques might reverse that. Maybe we need to update Eliot’s adage.

Congressman Dan Meuser refuses a televised debate. But he has no issue trolling on Facebook. That’s how serious Dan is about his job. Our communities deserve better. Vote Rachel Wallace for Congress on November 3rd. 🇺🇸

But imagine how those of us who grew up or near that town (I lived 25 minutes away) had heard the place’s name many times and THEN saw how it was spelled. Lots of Hispanic names in the area, but none as different from phonetic English as this city on the coast.

Just a reminder: Every time he says “No tax on Social Security,” keep in mind that the Big BS Bill did NOT end any taxes on Social Security benefits. As a tax preparer, I got to remind lots of my clients this past season, “No, he lied about that too.”

Time (again) to protest your maps: 1. Go to Google Maps. 2. Type place (e.g., LAKE ONTARIO). 3. Click REVIEWS. 4. Write a review. 5. Share.

Thumbs up! My wife gets JAMA, and I read the poems they publish. Yours could fit there, though Stone Circle is no slouch of a publication.

Sorry, but I’m not paying admission to see NC simply walk into a resort bathroom and/or pool shed to carry out a documents box. He’ll have to purchase a membership, maybe get some lip filler, but he’ll get some cheap canapés en route.

1. What’s your favorite part of writing? For me, it’s when the story itself—the combination of characters, setting, actions—open up and turn into a narrative that makes me later say, “Where in the heck did THAT come from?”
