Ew. TikTok are really pushing AI tools to sellers. They've just added generating AI audio based on your own voice. I haven't managed to sell there but others seem to have great success, so I feel like I need to stay. Le sigh.

I’m arguing with TikTok over them muting audio on a video that’s from Canva and therefore I have a licence to use. I don’t really care about the video. But support have been going in circles clearly not reading my messages well enough to understand. They now want me to claim copyright on the track.

My memory is seriously awful at the moment :( Sorry if I've said I'll do something for you and forgot. I really don't mean to forget!

The day Ada enacts her revenge on the man who ruined her life, she makes everything worse. A jeweller-turned-thief, she’s familiar with most gems, but the ones she finds in Tamir Alzahar’s house are different. There’s a river of magic inside, and in her untrained hands it proves deadly.

Don't forget @publisherswkly.bsky.social have embraced genAI. Show them you don't want it but unsubscribing from all their emails (I thought I'd got them all but just got another)

. @discord.com have closed the survey. I thought it was meant to be open longer which I guess means:
a) they realise we hate genAI and won’t add it
b) they didn’t want people to actually know about the survey so they could pretend people do want genAI and are pissed it got shared.
I’m thinking B.

Discord is doing a public consultation about whether or not to include genAI. Go tell them we don’t want it!!!

This takes five minutes, is weirdly cathartic and provides you with a wide variety of ways to say 'I do not want this dog shit grey goo generating technology fucking up my user experience and I'm frankly amazed that you all think hammering yourselves in the groin is the move here.'

If you use Discord and you don't want this, it's a really quick form and is worthwhile filling out. I'm also going to be searching for alternatives just in case - companies are infamous for *not listening*.

Me: I want to write all these books set in the same world! Better get to it.
Brain: Here's the start of a new story that'll probably be novel length that you can't set in your existing world because of established magic rules. It'll hook you into writing it because it's a redemption arc.

I’m really struggling to expand my social media reach beyond authors. Don’t get me wrong, I love you all (unless you use genAI), but there’s only so many books authors can afford to buy.
