Whenever I see someone talk about how chatgpt can do research for them and organize their outline for a first draft (fic or nonfic) instead of spending time not knowing where to start, I'm just...sad. (Partly thinking oh god no, it will lie to you) but also, you lose so much 🧵1/?

You know that sinking feeling when you listened to feedback and rewrote things and can't tell anymore if it's better or if you just took out the good parts by accident 🫠

Authors, if you see this, it's a sign to post the first line of your book (or in this case, book-in-progress). "Blessed be the Line that keeps us safe."

I'll say this for American conservatives (just browsing today's headlines): when they decide something's a sin they go hard. "Sin of empathy?" Gone. Not one twinge left for the suffering of anyone not white, straight, American citizen, healthy, and rich.

Oh no OpenAI did someone illegally steal your work without permission to train an AI that competes with you and undermines all your efforts? That is so awful. No one should do that.

I honestly look to SFF and sapphic romance for riveting storytelling. For newspapers, I'm really just looking for...journalism.

As I'm revising, just had a random thought...how did Shakespeare do this? Rough draft and then line by line edit? Was the first draft already iambic pentameter or did that come in draft six?
