“but he isn’t a main POV book character so they’d have to flesh him out more for the show based on what we know about him! Can’t imagine they’d have any interest in doing THAT in this show about the Second Age featuring Gil-galad, Pharazon, Isildir, Elendil, two Durins, Míriel, Círdan, Pharazon…”

Love how any time someone's pitching an AI tool to fiction writers it's done with the assumption that *of course* the creativity is the bit you'll want or need to outsource. "It can generate ideas for you!" yeah thanks I'm not short of ideas - can it come make dinner so I have time to write them?

I hear that if you aren't finding time to read the books on your desk and nightstand that you already desperately want to read ... it will make you feel better if you simply buy other ones.
You're welcome.

It's a weird odd little world
I woke this morning from a complex dream, at the heart of which was that my enemy could change the past by reading out a different version from a book, and no-one but me remembered how it was
Just now I discovered a new author whose Feb debut may use a similar idea

Drove down to my daughter's flat (currently empty) to check all was well, and paused at the peak to pacify my soul - I mean, stopped at the roadside to capture our current snowy landscape. Beautiful, but the wind cuts like a knife

I've lost count of the number of times I've had to open the front door and then the back door so Jareth can stare at the snow and twitch his tail before deciding not to go out 🤷🏻♀️

I've looked forward so much to recreating this scene in lego Rivendell
It's such a shame that once it's emplaced and the display box goes on, this tableau will be hidden at the back of the model
A quiet, out-of-the-way place, rarely visited. In keeping, I guess. And I'll know it's there

It's the national year of reading in the uk in 2026. Instead of asking "why don't kids read any more", ask "how can I help them find the stories (and non fic) they will fall in love with". Less "get off my lawn whippersnappers" and more "come, sit on the lawn, here's a comic".
