Writing in several genres is curious for countless reasons. Last month? All I sold was poetry. This month? We're starting with the novels. As long as people enjoy what they read, I'm a happy guy. Here's a link in case your bookshelf is peckish or needs a buffet. www.amazon.com/stores/J.D.-...

Beyond Writing What You Know

Facing AI Authentically

I recently gave a follow to someone on a certain platform, was enjoying their content, and then saw a post of easy ways to use AI and was immediately turned the F off. Even for music there are options for you to do something simple and it just feels like people don't want to do any of the work.

Confession of a writer #60: Licking our wounds is sometimes part of the process…but it can’t be the end all. Recognize failures and offenses. Take a beat. Rest. Hydrate. Eat a cookie. Then keep going. Idle is the most dangerous state of being.

The best part of reluctantly asking for a favor is having the person ghost you, forget what you reminded twice, and later send you a meme that cracked them up and reminded them of you. The human condition in 2026 is one catastrophic cluster :)

We all know someone for whom this applies. :) Start your week and end your month with some silly. It's good for ya.

Today’s post is about why I, a Puerto Rican whose first language is Spanish, decided to publish in English, my second language. jdestradawriter.substack.com/p/why-ingles...

I just remade the entire Matrix series using AI in under 15 minutes. I'm an artist. Hear me roar. The artist.................

Confession of a writer #59: Hustle mentalities thrive on ego quite often. They are also often incredibly damaging. Know when to hustle and when to recover.

Been a while since I shared a Teactionary. It’s Tuesday though, so let’s raise a cuppa, though humbly so.

Nothing like reading a document on Acrobat Reader and then needing to search how to turn off AI features I never wanted in the first place. This applies to pretty much most apps. I am happy to do most of the thinking myself, thank you very much.

Ooops, I did it again. I typoed myself :) Happy Monday.

It's not every day you have a birthday. Today is that day for me :D Celebrations have begun and shall continue! jdestradawriter.substack.com/p/goodbye-45

Out of ALL social media platforms, nowhere is the bullshit more insane than on LinkedIn. It's so fake, it could be sponsored by Splenda.

Confession of a writer #58: Burning a candle at both ends is not a good idea and neither is chucking the entire candle into a bonfire. Rest responsibly.

Puerto Rico is a beautiful place to live. That said, there are no shortage of challenges. Since many people have asked about the water situation, I wrote about it so that you see it’s not always sunny in paradise. #puertorico #puertoricowatercrisis #watercrisis open.substack.com/pub/jdestrad...
