Friday Writing Tip ✍️ AI can suggest. It can organize. It can rephrase. But it cannot make creative decisions for you. The work should still sound like you. Full post: www.authorallies.com/blog/ai-in-w... #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

Something once quiet has been given permission to come fully into the open. Cruelty. It's now entertainment, political strategy, and social currency. It's everywhere. In the treatment of immigrants. LGBTQ+ folks. In public encounters. In the viciousness unleashed by people hiding behind keyboards.

When Cruelty Became the Point

The cruelty was always present, but since 2016, it has been granted permission, given a platform, and rewarded with power.

E. Jean Carroll finally received the $5.6 million owed her after a jury found Felon47 liable for sexually abusing. He is also president. My latest Substack is about patriarchy, internalized misogyny, and the women who believe they can bargain with a system built on their inequality.

AI often produces clean, competent sentences, but they tend to sound like everyone else’s clean, competent sentences. Your phrasing matters. Your rhythm matters. Your natural way of explaining something matters. www.authorallies.com/blog/ai-in-w...

Sue Collier @suecollier.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

One of the biggest mistakes writers make with AI is starting with a prompt instead of a thought. AI builds from patterns. It predicts what usually comes next. And predictability does not generally lead to strong writing.

Finishing a manuscript feels like the hardest part of writing a book. For many first-time authors, it is—until they step into the world of self-publishing. That’s where things often go sideways.

Here’s a simple way to think about AI use: If the AI is doing the thinking, it’s too much. If the AI is supporting your thinking, it’s appropriate. The difference is intention and awareness.

Sue Collier @suecollier.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

One of the clearest signs of heavy AI use is writing that feels flat. It says the right things, but it doesn’t say them in a way that feels distinctly human. Your voice is what connects you to readers. If that disappears, your work loses its value.

Sue Collier @suecollier.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

AI is not going anywhere. And ethical use of AI in writing doesn’t mean avoiding it altogether. It means the ideas, voice, and structure of the work remain the writer’s. AI should support your writing; it should not replace it.

No one is allowed to say they didn’t vote for this. You voted for a vulgar, narcissistic, incompetent, mentally ill, bigoted, unfit, incompetent, maleficent person to run the United States of America. You knew exactly what you were doing. Stop pretending.

I didn’t expect to write about this—but the hypocrisy here is hard to ignore. This one is personal, too.

The conversation around the “male loneliness epidemic” is growing louder. This isn’t just about loneliness. It’s about cultural transition. I explore the tension—and what I’m seeing as the parent of an 18-year-old son—in this piece.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
