Spring Flight "Lizzy had said it was a story for babies. She’d said the swallow was just a migratory bird and spring was just a consequence of Earth’s axial tilt. She’d said there was no such thing as magic. Gwyn had cried." #FlashFiction fabulistmagazine.com/spring-flight/

A number of years ago a team I was visiting was laughing that one of the other teams had developed software that only had two bugs: the first bug was that it typically failed to start; the second was that when it did start, it immediately crashed.

Over summer I tend not to travel except for holiday, but I do run online sessions (workshops, training, talks, etc.). Get in touch if a talk or something for your company would be of interest. In terms of recent talks and topics, you can find a list on my Sessionize profile: sessionize.com/kevlin/

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’. I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY. Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙
