Back home from an arduous day typing to find my son casually replacing a barn roof, suspect he won’t be following in my footsteps.

From now on, every time I hear someone tell me they only use AI to "come up with ideas", I'm going to give them a slightly pitying look and say "Aw, are your own ideas that bad?"

I will never understand writers who use generative AI. For me, the act of writing—the actual act of putting pen to paper or typing on a keyboard—is deeply fulfilling. The very act of creation—yes, it’s joyful and exciting. Why the fuck would you rob yourself of that happiness? FUCK AI
This BookBub survey on authors and AI use says that "74% of the authors who use generative AI do not disclose their AI use to readers."
I want to be very clear that I DO NOT use generative AI in my books. Share your work here if that's true for you also!

Caught another writer using AI & they were promptly let go.
I can not stress this enough: Any editor worth anything can AND WILL catch you if you're using AI to write. It's not slick, it's not subtle, & so many behavioral patterns beyond the writing are dead giveaways.
Do the work or get out.

If I was being a snarky bitch, I might say something about the BBC spending money on dead computer generated writers whilst sacking actual living and breathing ones. But I’m not, so I won’t.

Visited Jeju island yesterday, four hundred years ago 3 hell-raising European sailors landed here, they were the first westerners to set foot on the Korean peninsular. Captured by Joseon Dynasty soldiers, their subsequent adventures were epic!

Me and @meanpeach.bsky.social (Mike Walker) are off to South Korea today for a new writing adventure. Excited to be involved with an ambitious international co-pro. We’ll be buckling some swashes and channelling our love of movies like Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean for this one

Really enjoying #TheBondsman on @primevideouk.bsky.social. Didn’t have the first clue what it was about when I put it on, a genuine surprise that I can highly recommend. The Fall Guy meets a very adult Buffy!
