I don’t want to “streamline” my writing. I don’t want to “increase my output.” I don’t want to “write a novel with one click.” I want to write stuff only I can write. I want to read and write novels with soul and heart and a unique voice. Fuck AI. Long live real writers.

Darlings, write that book.
Ignore the 'not selling' rhetoric.
Write the book.
Write your fix-up novels or your trashy book or your serious historical epic or your barely-disguised autobiography or your pew-pew SF.

It's rare to see a company piss off and destroy their fan base in real time, but damn, Wizards of the Coast is giving a CLINIC on how to do so.

I don't actually just sit and talk about *writing* a lot? The process of course, but the realities of living with it as your drive and your occupation. Anyway, this was a good time. I hope you like it too.

I've been spending a LOT of time away from social media. And let me tell you, it makes a big difference in how I perceive myself, how I perceive my work, and the energy I have to focus on those things. A *positive* difference.
