part of what I like about Graeco-Roman myth in particular is that the world is a relentless crapsack with no rewards and yet people get out of bed anyway, to shovel minotaur shit until they get turned into a statue or eaten, there's a strange defiance to it I find very comforting

It’s better to write than let fear stop you. Fear is the dream killer. Writing is liberating and probably the last bastion of free expression. Be defiant, creative and bold. Write the thing that makes you uncomfortable, that makes readers squirm. #5amwritersclub

Honestly, there was that one time back in high school where a kid came up to me and asked me if I 'wanted a cig'. He was even holding one. I just used my hearing disability to my advantage and acted like I didn't know what he was saying, so he just walked off looking for someone else.

Well, I'm now 100% fully immersed in my historical WiP, jotting down ideas and scenes. :D This is why I love writing -- freedom and escape to another world.
Gonna keep writing. The engine isn't slowing down any time soon.

What in the sam-ass hell? Apparently Word has an AI function that lets it analyze everything you do on the program. Here's how you turn it off.

Right, y'all need to keep my ass accountable to finish ONE draft, cause while I love hopping around from WiP to WiP, I do want to teach myself to stick to one project and stick with it.

Got back to writing for the first time in a long while. Decided to just pick a random scene -- any scene -- and just type what the character was doing.
Now I've just written 279 words, and this character has helpfully informed me of a fix to the plot issue I was having. Thank you, dear character.

Hey, new youtuber here: I use the CapCut editing software + it's text-to-speech to add the narration to my videos. I'm concerned because I don't want people to think I'm using AI when it's just the text-to-speech,
