Voracious reader of novels in a variety of genres. Science nerd. Have I told you today about my favorite book series Doomsday Recon by Ryan Williamson? No? Just wait, I will.

Dear @rywilwrite.bsky.social

#DoomsdayRecon Born in Battle impacted my soul

#DarkDominion Immortal made me cry why are you like this.

DD: Godsbane went into the time-out corner.

That climatic scene with Anne and her child in The Widow's Son? You're a monster, broski, in the best possible way.

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

I wish I could just get sworn in on one of my own law school course outlines. They were all color-coded, written on lined paper with a giant pack of markers, fastened into binders … I’m not going to lie, they were pretty fabulous.

Authors up in arms about AI are boxing with shadows while the real threat remains ignored.
The Real Threat to Indie Authors Isn’t AI
Any author who’s actually seen what AI models produce when attempting to write fiction and is still worried about being replaced is worrying about the wrong threat. (Or they’re a spectacularly medi…

More LLM experimentation demonstrating how badly AI will mess up your prose. It’s both educational and absurdly funny.
In Which Grok Improves My Opening Scene to a “Solid 10/10”

Ryan has put substantial thought into his AI use and not use.

Strong recommend on reading, even if you disagree on some details.
Because I’m tired of having the same arguments over and over like some perverse version of Groundhog Day, here are all my articles on AI and writing. Please read them before engaging.

I have a note for something I'm working on today that reads, in its entirety, "so to move is to pray as you go"
