I did the math, and I wrote something like 54,000 words in the last three weeks to get this fic done in time. if only I had that kind of motivation or productivity when it came to stuff I could actually publish lmao

Ofc now I just realised I have to edit a 72,000 word novel in a little over a week

"I'd rather put a gun in my mouth" is exactly how I feel about AI writing, too

VeroOoOnica Wraith @veronicarothbooks.com · 22h

When people ask me what I think about using AI in writing I’m going to send them this screenshot

A screenshot of a post that reads David Simon, creator of *The Wire*, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro, NPR

And then a screenshot of a conversation that goes like this:

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

OC-Tober is great except for it's also a crash course on realising how many book concepts/outlines that you have sitting around and haven't ACTUALLY WRITTEN

The prompt today is about objects of importance, and my first thought was of my girl Ayleth. The giant opal was a mating gift from her dragon wife :> #ocsky #originalcharacter #lordarts #fantasynovel #art #procreate #myart #ocart #digitalart

everyday i feel like this

A comic where a starved and dehydrated looking creature is desperately wheezing as they draw a picture.
The next panel, you see that they have drawn their OTP kissing.
In the last panel, the creature puts the drawing in their mouth, emphasized with the word 'nam'.

Like, I've been clean over 10 years but that shit is till not good to see! And even for people who don't SH, it's not Pleasant to be randomly scrolling and see OPEN WOUNDS?? WHAT THE FUCK???

kermit thee frog 🍉 @maudmont.bsky.social · 5d

LOVE opening this app the week I lose a family member and have been just in a general depressive episode and I see a random picture of someone actively bleeding from a SH wound on my discover feed! Def not triggering at all! And Bsky is worried about nsfw art? THAT'S the thing that's dangerous?

I’m a PASSIONATE fanfic commenter, but sometimes it slows me down because I feel like I need to leave long notes. But, as an author, I know even a short comment matters. So I made a guide to make it easier. Hopefully this helps someone else too! #fanfiction #fanfic #leaveacomment #harrypotterfanfic

Note: ignore the measurements on the floorplan. I wasn't going for scale or anything, just for layout. I need to do a re-design anyway and probably model the whole building tbh 5/end.

kermit thee frog 🍉 @maudmont.bsky.social · 5d

The front ground level of the building is a laundromat/dry cleaner's that used to belong to Saphia's grandparents, as did the whole building. The apt portion of the building is co-owned by the tenants, and the business is run by one of them, who helps them launder her "business" money through it. 4/

Unit 33 is an apartment in a building deep in the city, down by the water on the lowest level (there are multiple levels of the city, upward construction and hover vehicles and all that). 3/

Saphia is the head of a Robin Hood-style criminal syndicate that smuggles/redistributes resources and fucks w the cops whenever and wherever possible. 2/

Yippeeee I finally get to post about Unit 33! This is where Saphia and Rhett (and sometimes some of the larger cast) live! Their world is a futuristic, neon-soaked Toronto ruled by corporate police entities constantly tearing the city up over territory and wealth. 1/
