Good morning unless you run some kind of AI consulting thing that isn't going so hot
L. D. Lewis, Sea Witch Apologist 🧜🏾♀️@ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app · 14h agoSome people saw themselves getting in on the ground floor of AI in creative writing as an industry, made their lil LLCs and canva flyers, and are now mad that they had a bad idea and everyone thinks they're silly.
Pretending you don't see a difference between AI that counts beans and AI that steals novels is a doltish, peevish stance. Cannot believe @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social ran this apologia for the plagiarism machine.
Holly Lyn Walrath@hollylynwalrath.bsky.social · 17h agoThere is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.

What's your "I'm on deadline but my brain needs calories and doesn't care where they come from" food?

Please tell whomever that **not being resubscribed** to the email and sms mailing lists of every candidate from whom I have previously unsubscribed would incentivize me to give more
Fall is coming and I need recs for brown fountain pen inks that aren't also crazy dry
Normalize just telling people who are wrong to shut up
Antony Johnston@antonyjohnston.bsky.social · 2d agoSeeing complaints online that authors 'gatekeep' information…! Absolute nonsense. There is no industry or craft in the world which is so comprehensively written about, studied, and discussed as fiction writing, and every author I know welcomes new writers who are serious about giving it a go.
I did not see "get really into tinned fish" in my future but here we are
FWIW God's Junk Drawer was one of my favorite reads of the last year. Peter is also dope and sends me Muppet Lego minifigs. You can vote for either one of these reasons. No one would know.
Peter Clines@peterclines.com · 2d agoSoooooo hey. I am rarely nominated for awards so this is kinda cool. If you'd like to vote for GOD'S JUNK DRAWER, you can follow the link and it's free. But that's also a hell of a list, so I understand if you feel the need to vote for someone else.
Missed that pink lemonade TWSBI prelaunch which I GUESS is fine
I hate to have to do this again, but starting another (hopefully smaller) GFM. We are trying to start new endeavors, but we need to stay housed until then. gofund.me/f1aa8129f

Please publish no more good/intriguing books for the next six months. I am trying to downsize ahead of a move and I can't keep putting books into this cart, you see
I also enjoy Florence Pugh with a sapphic enthusiasm. That is all.
Spider-Man was fun. Softer-side Frank Castle was snacky. Petition to allow Tom Holland to play something other than the sweetest baby to have ever lived.
Definitely don't need 6 more of these plus a light kit. Nope.

Is it intentional that Brad Pitt seems to only be doing Lone Man In A Place movies after his ex-wife and apparently ex-kids aired him out

About to make an aguachile mostly because Gailey's scallop adventures reminded me this week that I can just do that
Gailey 🍉@sarahgailey.bsky.social · last wk.What is your favorite way to prepare scallops that does not involve butter or bacon?
I am delighted to join @drsianproctor.bsky.social and @the-astro-stud.bsky.social in a conversation about post-dystopia space exploration, hosted by @clarionwest.bsky.social at @townhallseattle.bsky.social on September 12. Tickets are available at www.clarionwest.org/event/post-d...
I have decided that the instant any of this stops being fun...I will stop doing it.
Charlie Jane "Lessons in Magic and Disaster" Anders 🏳️⚧@charliejane.bsky.social · 5d agoI was just thinking about how "you need to become an influencer to sell books" is ruining everything
Lol I now have exactly 20 Sailor PG/PGS fountain pens and I don't know how that happened
