Hello, new followers! I'm Lili; I write books, sometimes other people even read them.
This feed holds squirrel stories, the life of a working writer, Morning Walk Reports, random ephemera, and links to articles I find interesting, thought-provoking, or cool.
Nice to have you along.

I think few things feel as validating to artists as having another artist draw your OCs.
It's like.... "Oh! You can see them too! Good. It's not just me."

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

AI generated content of any kind undermines the credibility of whatever is being communicated
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
