Scientists, I am asking us to do something that goes against our nature: Step away from fine-grained, nuanced arguments. Zoom WAY out. Share the big picture. Don’t soften the seriousness of this moment with “xxx may be ok in xxx circumstances” talk. It’s uncomfortable AND necessary.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

Victoria Brownworth
@VABVOX
The Wife's Bestie here. It is with a heavy heart that I must report that Victoria passed away yesterday morning. It was a gentle and peaceful ending to her long fight against cancer. She loved her X community and I hope she will be remembered here. Please remember her in your prayers.

Also read posts saying he “forgot the year his son died”. I forget the years my kid were born and how old I am constantly and I’m in my mid 40s, cut the man some slack. That’s normal.

I don’t use AI in my writing or book covers. Period. Any messes are my own.

A1. I have a job, great family, supportive friends, and strong community. Not to be Pollyanna-ish, but I'm doing as well as I can, given everything. #WeeknightWriters

100% same. AI is NOT the same. I pay good money for my audiobooks to have sexy, gorgeous narrative voices. I’ll end my Audible subscription over this.

I love everything about this. Sending to some friends before I decide on the preorder. This is great!

Also I haven’t seen this survey but don’t know many authors IRL who are pro AI. Maybe AI authors are answering it…

My 100% real kitty showing off.

A tabby cat sitting in a window sill, pretending that she did not just gorge herself on an entire bag of food hidden in the closet. Naughty puss.

I'm definitely on the struggle bus this month! I've got two released books and way too many in progress. More than anything, I'd like to sell a physical book, but both my works are available as eBooks too! The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle: books2read.com/u/boB9YL And on Itchio!: steve-westenra.itch.io

My first novels as a kid were all written by hand sloppily in Number 2s in copy books. My books as a teen were written on 3.5” floppies. Ain’t no one got time for AI.

What are you looking to swap? I have a MG fantasy in beta, that may or may not be moving towards querying.

#SFFChat A4: “She looked at Addy, her long, dark hair framing a delicate heart-shaped face, with a beauty mark right by her lips...”

"You're the young man from the Society meeting. What brings you in today?

Philly's mind was suddenly blank. What was her reason for visiting? She looked at Addy, her long, dark hair framing a delicate heart-shaped face, with a beauty mark right by her lips...

"Ah, Addy! Introduce me to your beau, if you will." Hugo Alvarez suddenly appeared behind his daughter, jolting Philly from her trance. What was she thinking? This was a young woman, not even in her social class, and a magic user at that!

She was taking this act as "Phil" entirely too seriously.

"Er, not a beau, Sir," she responded. "Mr. Phil Bexley," she introduced herself.

Remembering why she had come, her hand touched the newspaper clipping in her pocket. She suddenly became nervous, remembering her father' words to her many years ago. How much did she know about this man? Not enough. She decided she would use a less direct approach.
