As educators and scientists, we can and should communicate clearly that generative AI tools are not sentient, have no capacity for truth, and are merely complex statistical algorithms dressed up in a plain language outfit.

Have you ever had to change anything because you felt it was no longer relevant?

I wrote a story a few years ago and I'm polishing it up now for publication and noticing how a few references have dated soooo quickly.

Releasing a book as an independent author these days is like screaming into the ... wait, hang on.

Do any of you use particular strategies for increasing awareness that your book actually exists? Help an author out, here.

How much detail do you go into when thinking about your character? What might they have in their junk drawer, for instance?

What a stupid choice.

And then, a sudden chance
to rewind it.

So you grab the handle
and uncrank.

People walking backwards,
building ice cream cones
with licks. Dogs unbarking,
and the moon gets away
with it.

So much undone. What
a stupid choice.

So you grab the handle…

This day was unlike others.

Oh sure, it’s the same
sweaty grime and
clenched grimace.
Sunlight’s slap
still stings, and
your ears ring
like yesterday.

But tomorrow is
today’s trite reunion.

Hoary day,
glory day,
On display a
different way.

Back to the main story. I worked out what the structure of the difficult chapter is, so now I can write it. Hopefully the rest of this section will then flow more easily. What's your main difficulty at the moment? Or are you in full flow?

To be real, I tethered
myself to reality.

(Simple enough)

After the first 20 staples,
you hardly feel them.

Zip ties really held,
but all that plastic
seemed drastic.

In the end, the shocker:
I was team tapestry
all along.

prodigal pattern
returned

nine, stitched

Writing about food. Japanese literature has so many food references. But nothing spells the characters getting comfortable with each other than discussing food. #Writing #Amwriting

Nabe, gyudon, soborodon, hayashi

Good thing I have some nice leftovers in the frig. Though I am tempted to make hayashi. Can't go wrong with that.

After dinner, Elsbeth sat in her room, practicing a transmutation spell Grandma had taught her. Something simple to start with: mending a crack in an old piece of crockery.

It was slow going at first. She could see the narrow end of the crack slowly creep upward as it healed itself. At this rate, though, it’d take hours to mend.

Wherefore wandered in and curled up in her lap. Elsbeth smiled down at the kitten, stroking her fur.

#WordWeavers 30May- writing from the POV of a child? Written any?

Very comfortable.

Cory the alien boy in Our Child of the Stars and its sequel. He is childhood turned up to 11. Enormously empathetic, curious, friendly, and able to enjoy even the simplest moments of life. And also, weird powers and he has to hide. I also did chapters than didn't make the book in the voice of his friend.

I have an idea in which there are two POVs, the child living it, and the adult she becomes.
