"But as in any KD Casey book, the third party in the relationship is ‘baseball’, which here acts as a hard to please lover." I was trying to think of a good summary of this book, but a pal did it for me. Breakout Year, an mm sports romance, is out in the world! www.kdcaseywrites.com/breakout-year

The cover of Breakout Year by KD Casey. The book is green. Objects important to the characters (baseball equipment, tea, plants, etc.) are present.

what people are missing about the whole tarik skubal situation is that no baseball player is any better than any other baseball player. some were for quite a long time, but in 1979 the lord struck down one and all and condemned them to wear only one glove. now they're all wretches in god's sight

You don’t have to do any of that to prove your writing isn’t AI. You just have to tell one (1) crass joke or make an allusion or or imply something without stating it outright. AI writing is self serious unhorny and obvious. Just be not … those things.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

A thread on special editions, luxury books, and publishing history: In 1903, J. M. Dent created Everyman’s Library, intended as a cheap line of hardbacks to make a classical education accessible as mass literacy rates were on the rise.
