My toxic trait is seeing something on Etsy and thinking I can make it myself

One of the best parts of the WGA deal: AI has now hit a brick wall in Hollywood, *and that includes adaptations.* Based on the deal, AI can't be source material. So if you're a publisher, AI novels or graphic novels or whatever just became that much less appealing because *they can't be optioned.*

Absolutely horrendous to learn writing a synopsis helps with writing the book. Terrible news.

Oh hey I have a book on sub about the shenanigans of a private equity firm buying a book-based business! Mine’s a romcom though so it’s funny and has a happy ending! Maybe a nice palate cleanser for everyone with a bad taste in their mouths right now?
