When people use AI to make a book:

I was so happy to join other writers from the Montgomery County chapter of @marylandwriters.bsky.social this weekend! About a dozen folks read aloud from their works, and I read a chapter from my fantasy novel, In The Shadow Of The Sanctum. It’s great to hang out with so many talented writers!!
