This may in fact be both the prettiest and tastiest hot chocolate I've ever had. Also, I finally wrote for my own projects again! Freelance work is great, but it's nice to write my own stories, too. #Food #HotChocolate #WritingCommunity

nobody finishes a book and concludes “that was great; now I shall never read another one.” other writers are your teammates and coworkers, not your competition.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

I need you all to stop reposting AI promos. If you can't tell ask who did the art for it before you share. No amount of AI use is okay and using it for promos tells readers they can't trust the writing is genuine. It is also a giant middle finger to artists. Stop.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

This effort makes it feel like standing up for Palestine is controversial when actually it’s popular— most people think Israel has gone too far and too many people have died. And without all this manufactured consent, the genocide would not continue. 2/2

1) Prefer physical books, but usually end up reading ebooks for convenience. 2) "Who did this to you?" 3) This is entirely a toss up 😅 4) Slow burn 5) Friends to lovers 6) Stand-alone (or series that can be read as stand-alones) 7) Haven't read either 8) See above 9) DNF
