I don’t know the origin of this meme, and I would love to credit its creator if you can tell me the name. It’s very much on point for how a writer’s emotions fluctuate during a project.

So someone on this platform messaged me and asked what to call me and said I look kind. I know those are the basic opening lines of the scamming confidence trickster. So I’ll be clear. If you want fiction writing advice, I am indeed kind. If you want money, I am not *at all* kind.

@raydrainville.bsky.social as per our prior discussion of ChatGPT 4 making up stuff when I’m trying to research — it’s gotten so bad now that I’ve switched to Copilot. Today it wrote haiku and told me they were by Basho
