If I see one more 'author' claim that 'everyone uses gen AI for covers, so I might as well' I am going to scream.

NO THEY AREN'T! SAYING IT DOESN'T MAKE IT SO! I AM BEGGING YOU TO ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY THAT HATES GEN AI! DO YOU EVEN WANT A CAREER?!

GEN AI IS THEFT 😭

Me, coming back to edit draft 2 after letting it sit for a few weeks: which idiot wrote this?

It's me, I'm the idiot that wrote this

90% of writing happens away from the keyboard. In the shower. On a walk. In the car. Wherever you & your thoughts are alone together, that's when writing happens.

If you find yourself stuck, staring at a blinking cursor, unable to find the words, don't be afraid to step away & find somewhere quiet.

The fantasy genre is so great. I love it. It has endless possibilities like dragons, sky islands, flying whales, and affordable living

A writer's greatest fear isn't rejection. It's accidentally using the same word within two paragraphs of each other

Spent some quality time doing pen & ink this evening. I got myself a Pilot Parallel Pen today, and enjoyed scratching out this scene with it.

Boardwalk in Hackensack River County Park, Hackensack, NJ. 10x8.

Realising that if I'm going to write about bros being gay in the 90s, I can write about steamy back seat shenanigans...

For the past 4 months I've been stuck revising and rewriting, which means that writing by hand is just not really a thing that happens. But man do I miss the days where I would use a different pen each time, a rainbow on every page...

Okay, 3 new TWSBIs acquired since the last time I shared my TWSBI Rainbow. I have 1 more definitely coming from Germany (the red one hopefully). Only a few left to find before I can call it good. I’ll need to work out storage at some point too. #FountainPen
