Wrote a sentence today. It's not much, but it's a start.
Thank you all for an incredible #questpit on friday. We wanted to wait a moment to discuss this, but we have been witnessing an uptick in AI usage in our events. We want to state that this is strictly against the rules, and though we function on an honor rule basis— (1/3)
This is amazing! So immersive

Carrie Stewart@carriejay.bsky.social · last mo.The Wasteland Silo x Squid Game x The Ones We’re Meant to Find In a climate-ravaged future, two sisters take very different paths when they’re sent to prison for murder. Fighting for survival, they question their loyalties to new friends, and each other. #YA #D #questpit #q
Love the graphic. Really gives you a sense of final loss
@donnamunoz.bsky.social · last mo.GRACIELA IN THE ABYSS x THE SECRET DEAD CLUB Two grieving kids, one living, one dead, must complete an impossible quest before Día de los Muertos ends, or The Final Death will claim them forever. Suspenseful, heartfelt, and rooted in Día de los Muertos #q #questpit #mg
This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
That sounds super cool

He has three nights to put it back before it's forgotten forever. 🌙🌊✨ #QuestPit #Q #MG #F
Would love to see it!

Please don't use this crap :( Kids deserve better. You deserve better. We all deserve better. If making up stories isn't your thing, read them an actual, real, written-by-a-human book.

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).
Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.
