I'm a writer, which sometimes seems to mean doing anything but! Currently working on my debut, a cosy rom(com)antasy. Here's my webbed site: https://willowloxley.co.uk
Hour by hour, it doesn't feel like much, but actually I've been pretty busy. Next week sees the launch of my website AND YouTube channel! 🤯

Write the story that is in you to write. The story you’re passionate about. Writing to trends or writing what you think you ought to write or what others think you ought to write will kill the passion. Unless you’re passionate about writing to trends: that’s cool, too. Be yourself, not someone else.

I emailed [email protected] directly to summarise my thoughts on the bullshit consultation with its bullshit proposal.
tl;dr: Why is this consultation loaded towards "the law shouldn't apply to scammy tech bros"?

If you can’t be bothered to write your books and fill them with human experience, why exactly would I spend money buying them? Lmao. I don’t get it. I have no desire to read what an algorithm scrapes up, spits out and which is then egregiously presented as an acceptable replacement to humanity.

And breakfast. And a midmorning snack.
I've always thought saying "We ride at dawn"
sounded SO badass.
But dawn is, like, really early.
Could we ride around 10, after I've had my coffee?

My 12th grade English teacher used to have us come up to read our own work & if we prefaced it with something self-deprecating she'd make us go allllll the way back to our desk and sit down and then get back up and start again without dumping on ourselves
....that's stuck with me an awful long time

Also just a blanket reminder that if I'm posting about having fun with something and you reply to agree but feel the need to disclaim that said thing is bad/trash/whatever, I'm going to shove you in a van & take you to be deprogrammed.

Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.

There seems to be some confusion here, so just to be clear: AI is theft. You are not made an artist by using it. Go pick up a pencil. 💜

I'm not very good at social media. I'll try to be better here. At least people seem nicer.
