I love that I wrote and self-published four books, wrote two more books, queried, got an agent, and am now on submission to publishers and NOW is when I stop and think to read a couple of books on ‘how to write and structure a book’ for the first time🤣💀 ADHD at its finest.

I guess my one concern is that my current haircut is pretty age neutral and being of the elder variety a ‘trendy’ haircut might have the opposite effect to what’s intended 🤣

I don’t have thick hair it’s pretty fine and wispy. I like having longer hair, BUT the wind fucks me up so bad so something lower maintenance would be nice.

For me, being a genre fiction author is just 99% trying to figure out how to make myself cry in new and exciting ways.

I don’t understand where the dopamine hit is for using GenAI.
You haven’t done anything yourself.
It’s kind of sad, because as a creator I know what it feels like to know a perfect stranger has engaged with your work and is proud of you despite never having met you. That’s the actual magic.

Part of the beauty of experiencing someone’s creative work is marvelling in their process and craft and how that can transport you with great precision into an inspiring and specific journey.
Gen AI is process driven loot regurgitated into a naff and jumbled soggy biscuit. It will never be great.

Gen AI is unethical, lazy, problematic theft that’s bad for the environment, but none of that will be what was the stake in its heart.
It’s boring.
The prompt jockeys of AI books/art don’t consume AI work.They don’t consume any real books or art! Real people tire of formulaic soulless trash fast.
