Rebel Ridge was fantastic! I'm not normally a crime/thriller fan, but the plot avoided the whole "wronged guy kills all who wronged him" trope really well.

Hey, folks. I'm trying to find a horror novel. I think it's indie? It's about a group of friends who go hiking, but one of them turns out to be an imposter? I think it came out last year. Any help?

Any writer who thinks using generative AI for "transitions" and other things that "don't matter" has a fundamental misunderstanding of both the art and craft of writing.

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

A long video, but excellent. The biggest highlight? A clip from a news conference(?) where Ben Affleck said of AI: "It's a craftsman that knows how to work, but art is knowing when to stop." youtu.be/UoquS5uXOKs?...

Some actual peer-reviewed research on student AI use in higher-ed. The results are more or less what I expected, but it's nice to see some data supporting what I and many others have seen these last few years. www.brianwstone.com/wp-content/u...

Have you ever sat in your darkened office staring at your work in progress for so long that, in your darkened office, your computer goes to sleep and all that's staring back at you -- in your darkened office -- is the black mirror of your own monitor reflecting your own face? Asking for a friend.

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.
