The truth is: I jumped onto the chance to do these projects when GenAI was being explored and used my position and pull within my department to argue AGAINST the use of AI by repeatedly showing that it created inaccurate, outdated info that took our team longer to fix then to write it ourselves.
Will I ever run out of ideas? Never.
Will I eventually reach the point where I'll be unable to write? That's the thing that I fear the most, and its already hit because of burnout and depression and it's making life absolutely miserable.

Writers, do you ever fear running out of story ideas? This is one fear I don’t have #writingq #WritingCommunity

I've always thought this, and I'm continually reminded of it, but it never fails to genuinely shock me with how incredibly brilliant @spice8rack.bsky.social is with its deep dives into the story, themes, and just.. everything honestly about the real world and Magic.

I was haunted by the ghost of a French child for about a year who really liked playing to play games. I explained it in my work slack so I'll just post a screenshot

These last few weeks and months have been absolutely rough, and disheartening. But with the Avatar the Last Airbender set coming out for Magic the Gathering, I'm absolutely in need of a rewatch. Because I need the comfort of Uncle Iroh.

I'm going to say this now and I will repeatedly tap the sign:
If my book offends you because it features romance, M/F sex, M/M sex, M/F/M sex, polyamory tones, Non-Christian Jewish mythology, and makes Heaven out to be the bad guys of the story.
*Good.*
I hope it ruffles your jimmies

I've had three team meetings since I've been back to work after watching GDQ last week.
Each one of them was basically "here's how we're going to force the marketing team to use more GenAI programs and what we expect from the efficiency increases."

Back in 2013 at an anime con, I was at a charity ballroom event. I was dancing with people here and there but I noticed two mid-teen girls arguing and one storming off. I asked the one that remained to dance, and talked to her. She confessed to having a crush on her friend, but her friend -
Every year at this event, I encounter a young queer person who just absolutely sticks with me. This year it was seeing someone who had the worst self-harm scars I've ever seen light up when I told them we could help with their name change.
At a pride event today, a young queer person came up to our table, started to take one of our pride tote bags, and then put it down and sheepishly said "I can't. My parents will catch me." About twenty minutes later they rushed back up, grabbed it, and said "Dammit, it's cute and I want it!"

Not the last line of the book, but I'll share the last line that I edited 🤭:
His stubbled face brushed against the inside of one of my thighs as he turned his head to kiss the same spot, making goosebumps rush outwards in response.

I love a good analogy, and I'm sharing this one because it's an easy way for non-creatives to understand the problem with AI.
"AI Art is like the difference between a frozen dinner and a Michelin Star restaurant. The meal is the same, the ingredients, techniques, and tastes are very different"
