I've included an article that discusses some of the ethical concerns. On a more pragmatic note, however: You won't get support from the creative community here In addition, Literary Agencies are banning AI in submissions. If you use AI art, why wouldn't they assume that your writing is AI too?

Great post about generative AI. Happy Holidays. Don't say I never gave you anything. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

Many writers obsess over daily word count. But who cares if someone writes 30k or even 100k words in a day if it’s rushed, sloppy, templated, or barely readable? Pages that need massive revision aren’t a flex. I’ll take a clean sentence over unreadable drafts. Quality matters. #AuthorSky #BookSky

Unsolicited writing advice: no. 8075: There is no such thing as serious writing. There are only writers who take their work seriously, and those who don’t. Tragedy is no more “serious” than comedy. Children’s writing is no less “serious” than writing for adults. Good writing is wherever you find it.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a freshly-fallen snow, a crackling fire, a riveting mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of emotional support scones.

I would say it’s not a preference but writing it is more rewarding in that it’s the culmination of these characters’ feelings and they’re finally connecting in that physical way - it’s not the first scenes I write in a manuscript!

The Serpent’s Order is live on Booksprout! A vigilante forced to become an assassin. A drug deadlier than fentanyl — a new strain of tranq dope Narcan can’t revive. A detective chasing the target. If you’re into crime thrillers & want to read early, I’m open to ARC readers.💙 #AuthorSky #BookSky
