For those saying 'let's allow software companies to steal copyright work for LLMs because AI can improve cancer detection'.

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world

Following up the DIY mess by going straight into school holidays. No chance of catching up on writing, but lots of time for parks, playing and all those little things that leave my brain refreshed and ready for creating (I tell myself). #WritingCommunity #writers

Very recently, I was talking to people about the lack of a good outlet for ebooks, and I cannot tell you how utterly delighted I am by this news. It’s awfully nice to be utterly delighted about ANYTHING at the moment. bookshop.org/ebooks

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617: Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel. Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

So I’ve been utterly distracted by the fires in my city. But I did want to remind y’all that submissions for the anthology will be closing in ONE WEEK. Be sure to get your poetry and flash fiction into us. BIPOC, LA-based writers and poets, we’d especially love to hear from y’all 🖤 #WritingCommunity

When I wrote ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A CRYPTID someone asked me if wildfires in December or January were realistic. I wish they were fictional. They're not, so 10% of Cryptid sales will go to California wildfire relief charities. books2read.com/u/4DNoGP #Books #Romancelandia
