see the problem is I am really good at coming up with a banging cast of characters but the minute you mention "plot" and "structure" I run screaming into the woods
I hurt myself today (came up with a new WIP idea)
writing historical romantasy really has me asking the big questions, such as: what is the sexiest title (duke, earl, viscount, or baron) (marquess is out by default there is nothing sexy about that word)
An LLM does not "help you write your books". An LLM prevents you from writing*your* books, while you are helping the LLM generate its books.
thinking of doing a Plotting June and then Zero Draft July (in the style of NaNo) if anyone wants to join me?
older people and especially librarians defaulting to supporting any and all AI tool bc they don’t want to be considered “out of touch” is embarrassingly pathetic
singlehandedly changing the faerie romantasy landscape
love how I told myself I'd work on this new WIP as a distraction from the complex and difficult worldbuilding of cipherWIP. you know! something soft! something easy! .............and then I immediately tumbled headfirst into complex and difficult worlbuilding for this new project brain, why
Pedants: actually, AI doesn't use that much water compared to farming Wise people: literally a single drop of water spent on the Plagiarism Machine That Lies is one drop too many

my characters in another life ⚡️ #cipherwip edition (all credit for this concept to @realgmorrow.bsky.social, I think!)
thinking of making a Slow Writers Support Group discord or something lmfao I need other people who understand the struggle of slow development on their work
Dimension 20 are doing steampunk ... #cipherwip is steampunk ... the amount of serotonin my brain is about to be INJECTED with ......

happy Monday! curious to hear from writer friends: what project(s) are you working on at the minute? 🤲 (WIP, outline, fanfiction, etc... anything is valid!)
Something I've been calling #PaladinInPinkWIP — a burnt-out college grad, a hot archfey, a world built on game rules, a quest to find a sibling long thought gone for good, and a flirtatious bard full of secrets guiding the way. I have been having a BLAST, your honours 🫡

Isildur, turning away from the fires of Mount Doom:
becoming a "wears rings" person so be ready for that I guess

#questpit and the official MSWL event being on the same day is my thirteenth reason I fear ... that's So Many Graphics to make
