Alli's new author survey on AI use dropped today, and their email said they wanted to see how people are using it, from those who do, to those who avoid it entirely. Funny then how the only option in the survey for those who don't use it is labeled "AI Minimal".

A screenshot of a survey question.

2. Which of the best describes your current approach to AI in your writing and publishing?
1) AI-Minimal -- I only use physical processes and human assistance, or I shun generative AI and use only basic tools e.g. spellcheckers
2)AI-Assisted (publishing only_ -- I use AI assistance for select publishing tasks e.g. market research, design, database management
3) AI-Assisted (publishing and writing)--I also use AI assistance for select writing tasks e.g. ideation, editing, research
4)AI-Integrated--I use AI across all my writing and publishing processes
5)I don't know/am still figuring it out

Just spent Writer's Hour with @londonwriterssalon.bsky.social reading The Accidental Apostrophe by Caroline Taggart for my very first self-defined CPD Hour! 50 pages and 8 sticky tabs in, this is a wonderful book to ease into (and it means I actually read a book I already own).

Common proofreading quirk: Staring at and then having to double check that "casualty" is a word and that it's spelled correctly. Don't even talk to me about brand names, my number one enemy this year.

Today I learned: According to the New Oxford Dictionary for Writers & Editors, it's "wild flowers", two words, not "wildflowers".

Thank you so much, Owen! That's incredible to hear and really motivates me to keep pushing myself bit by bit to do things like this.

It's okay if you're struggling to write this scene. Try moving on to another part of the story. #Writing #WritingCommunity

None of these options are completely perfect, so I've rated them based on my own feelings and experience with them. There are improvements I want to push them all for, especially in sustainability. Would you like to see an in-depth review and guide to any of them?

Time tracking software: Toggl Track. A simple time tracker tool that I've used to record my time for projects; their paid plan is a little more comprehensive than the free plan and I do recommend it. Based in Estonia.

I believe even small businesses like freelance editorial service providers can benefit from using software and websites that buck the trend of being based in America and do good in this world. Here's a list of recommendations, all based in Europe. That means they also have to be GDPR compliant.

To dismiss trans people as criminals is hate. To dismiss non-binary people as non-existent is erasure. To dismiss intersex people as still being either male or female is hate and erasure. Do better. We aren't trying to hurt you by existing. We want to live in peace with you, not instead of you.
