LAST WRITER SITTING is the story of a writer rendered redundant by AI. But this writer refuses to sit back and let machines and their paymasters ride roughshod over his ability to support himself and provide for his family. payhip.com/b/JGCtw #writing #writingcommunity #writersky
When it comes to the correct usage of ‘fewer’ and ‘less’, it’s clear that plenty of people couldn’t care fewer.

What’s this fascination with burps in kids books (and farts and poops)?
Look, I get it. Sort of. Farts are funny. Burps moderately amusing. Poops, well, actually I don’t get the fascination with these at all. Yet it’s hard to pass by a kids’ book webpage or a shelf in a b...

I recently finished Wool by Hugh Howey. I expected bleak but I still found it hard to enjoy, difficult to picture the subterranean world that just kept going down and down via a spiral staircase. So many people living underground, and digging machines down there as well? Couldn’t connect. #booksky
