Can we please agree to stop removing EM dashes and 'big words' from our books because the barely literate think those are how you spot AI?
I'm ahead of the curve anyway, because I don't know any big words.

As it has now been over a year since I posted anything here, I decided I should write something. I don't know what, but I'm sure my fingers will think of something if I just keep typing.

Jesus. I Googled myself, as one does, and one of the questions that showed was 'What is Ross Harrison's legacy?' I was going to write, but apparently I have a crisis to experience.

It is not too much of an exaggeration to say that Kat saved Aetherbound, because I was spinning in circles and she was extremely insightful.
I have openings in my editing calendar. I do developmental edits of novellas and novels, and work with multiple genres. More information here: www.kathowardbooks.com/editing and I'm always happy to answer questions.

I appreciate that if I type 'Au' into Google, it thinks that obviously either I need car parts from AutoDoc or to look at pictures of Audrey Hepburn. The answer, of course, is yes.

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.
🚨 Consultation survey launched on whether trans people should be able to access Hampstead Heath ladies' pond following Supreme Court ruling
The consultation is open until 12:00 on Tuesday 25th November 2025.

I just saw a video of giraffe chasing a safari jeep and I thought 'It's like Giraffic Park', and it's the smartest thing I've ever thought, and I'm hugely disappointed that I actually meant 'Jurassic' but somehow misspoke inside my own head.

So, I deleted the copilot AI trash from Windows, Microsoft snuck in and quietly reinstalled it so it's in my toolbar, but the system still pretends it's not installed so I can't remove it again. What an amazing user experience.

The upside to the unending flood of AI sewage is that I spend less time on social media. Atrocious IG descriptions that don't even belong to the video, pointless and fully AI generated videos on FB... Fine, that's a lie - I spend just as much time, I just tut a lot more.
