Last night was a dark one for me. Walking away from all of it, I lay down in the woods and sank into real despair. The sky broke open in the worst thunderstorm I've ever known. Somewhere in that storm I found this poem. It saved my life.

@katemossewriter.bsky.social could not have put it better. How can any AI company justify stealing authors’ works? And we need the government to step up and protect the creative industries (£126bn to UK per year!). AI’s assault on our intellectual property must be stopped on.ft.com/3ZRBSDA

Worth remembering that books still power a huge proportion of what we watch on our screens. 26% of global streaming shows between 2016 to 2022 were based on books. Most (72%) were by Netflix - Of the top 250 shows on Netflix last year, just under 1 in 5 came from books. We need stories.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #Books #BookSky 💙📚 #BookChallenge Day 11

A big hello to all new book-loving Bluesky-ers! (If you already follow us, (i) thank you, and (ii) a re-post would be very appreciated, to let people know we're here...) (In other UK news, there's no snow here. It's very sad.)

I love that so many are advocating for libraries on my TL. If you don't know already, you can connect your library card to Libby, which allows you to read books on the Kindle store for FREE. #Booksky

I advocate for people to read more books Even if it’s just 15 minutes it can really strengthen your mind

Celebrating little victories in writing can be huge to an author. These victories lead to bigger victories later on. We can then start to see writing and being an author in a different light. They help us keep growing as authors. - Wrtr #amwriting #author #writing #writer

Let’s build a space safe here to talk about things that really matter- books, films, art and creative industry? Just a reminder how much the #creativeundustries bring in to UK alone.
