Went for a walk today in Yerevan, Armenia! Loving it here!
There’s lots of traffic and high rise buildings, but still a lot of good views for nature.

Using AI is basically crossing a digital picket line, and treating authors who use it like scabs feels appropriate.
If you care about your rights and the rights of other creatives, you don't use generative AI under any circumstances (marketing, editing, drafting, outlining, artwork, narration, etc.)

Very weird to see writers cheering for A.I. audiobooks. This is the same horrible machine that they want to replace YOU. Audiobook narrators are your peers.

Officially finished the first book of the Wheel of Time!! 😎
I’d easily rate it a 10/10. Great storyline so far, though a lot of cliff hangers - as I expected. I’m still weary of Moiraine Sedai and her intentions with Rand, but I’m also super excited to learn more about Perrin’s power.

I’ve seen two authors post about being done with publishing this week and it breaks my heart. And I know I’ve certainly been struggling to sell books with everything of late - most of us have.
So please, if you’d like, tell us about your book in this thread and let’s get some traction going! ⬇️

Rebecca’s Guide to Handling Upsetting Reviews:
1. Get ice cream.
2. Search your FAVOURITE book of ALL TIME and read its one star reviews.
3. Put things into perspective.
4. Deep breaths.
5. Go back to writing and IGNORE.
We all get 1⭐️s. Even my dear and beloved Tolkien. 💜

My dad is god tier at this. He approached a coach at one of my son’s local bball tourneys… “Dave Bonner, nice to meet you. You know, my oldest son won two nba championships? Know what he was doing in 3rd grade? Losing games in this exact tournament. Maybe chill out on these kids next time.”

I’m at my six year old niece’s softball game and the opposing coach is yelling at his team (they are five and six years old) and just generally being awful and his players seems stressed and upset. What should I say to him afterward?
Because I’m definitely saying something.
