I read and I write. My stuff: The People's Library, Bacchanal, The Quarter Storm, The Foreign Exchange, The Canopy Keepers, A Breathless Sky. https://www.veronicahenry.net/
About 6 months ago, The People's Library launched. Since then, it's sparked conversations about AI, libraries, memory, and what it means to be human. I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to everyone who's read, reviewed, and recommended it. #booksky #blackbooksky
Apparently fellow author Neal Stephenson and I are on the same page (pun intended) when it comes to fountain pens and writing: nealstephenson.substack.com/p/writing-by...
Writing by Hand is Good for your Brain - Here's how to do it
Because I am known to write using a fountain pen on paper, a number of people have pointed me to this post and its underlying research. I won’t rehash what is said in those sources, but the gist of it...

Both myself and @apexmag.bsky.social not only oppose AI usage, we prefer human-created art. And I totally understand that many other people also oppose AI art and are eager to call it out when it appears. But we must be careful not to wrongly attack human-created art that you mistake for AI. 4/
Fascinating article and transparency in this piece from Tim Ferris. Long story short, I'm going to keep writing my novels. Not only because its the thing I love to do but because I also believe people will still want to connect with real human stories. Do you guys agree? tim.blog/2026/06/12/h...
