This whole speech soothes my artistic soul.
Listen up publishers, "You can be committed to artistry." I had to share this incredible message about why we need to keep AI out of books, writing, and publishing from Tony over at @alifeonbooks (Instagram)

Is it just me or is #booksky scrolling not at all doomscrolling? The only kind of scrolling that actually makes me feel better.

I love engagement on here just as much as anyone, but if you post asking me to follow you, I probably won’t.

I have been a visual artist my whole life, and have only been writing since 2019. After a growing chorus of people suggest I focus on #writing, I have officially turned my website into an #author website. This is a big deal for me and I’d be grateful if you checked it out!

When I was just getting started on #booksky, I over-promoted, and probably turned some people off. Since I gave up promoting and just started engaging I have met some great people. It is a nice community.

The way I have my book outlined, each “chapter” is about 3500 words. The final edit may see me splitting some of these chapters in two at natural breaking points. But for the process of putting words down on paper this is the perfect structure for me. #WIP #writersky #writingcommunity #booksky

My wife is my number one beta reader. Really grateful for her. #writingcommunity #WIP

This looks like a cool project. I love the extra dimensions she has built into this book. With the additional effort she put in outside the book itself, I’m guessing the writing is great too. Check this out!
THE PATTERN SHOP isn’t just a novel, it’s an experience.

You can find a curated playlist for each chapter, as well as similar books I’ve loved, a mood board, and more on my website! 🦋

I’ve been an Artist my whole life. I have been a musician almost as long. I have only been an #author since 2019. It took me 6 years, but I finally realized I am an “Author who makes art” rather than an “Artist who writes books.” Might seem small, but it is a huge mental shift for me. #writersky

Anyone else forget it was the #SuperBowl tonight? My wife has been #reading and I have been #writing in the evenings. Little bit of herbal tea? Nothing cozier. #booksky #writersky

My grandfather was a journalist for the BBC and he would turn that “On Air” sign when he was doing a broadcast from his home office. I inherited it when he passed. I put it on when I do video calls.
Authors, Artists, Musicians, do you have a place to be where you come up with your ideas? In my studio, I have my “thinking throne” where I have all my best thinks. When I sit in this chair with a cup of coffee next to me it is like magic. #authorsky #musicsky #art #writing #writingcommunity

I preordered this book! Looking forward to reading this one. You should consider getting it too! #blackhistorymonth #blackauthor

I have ruined too many social media accounts doing “follow for follow.” It becomes a game of people following you just to be followed, not interacting with your posts at all, and then unfollowing you to “clean up their account.” It is exhausting and leaves you with an unenjoyable timeline. #BSky

Ok, so.. believe it or not I got 3919 words on my manuscript today. I just hit the 10k words mark. I just started Tuesday and I’m 1/9th of the way there. I hope this mental streak lasts until I’m done. #wip #writersky #writingcommunity #booksky #author

I’m combining genres from my 2nd, 4th and 5th books for the novel I am working on. #thriller #action #horror #erotica

I’ve been #writing since 2019 and my process for writing each of my 5 books has been different. But my current method “Plot the book, pants the chapters” is far and away the best method, and how I will be doing it from now on. I have never written so much in so little time. #WIP #writersky #author

2,289 words on the manuscript today. Almost 3x my daily word goal. Word count for week one is 6,083. I think I am going to hold off on doing daily word counts and just make an update at every 10k words till I’m done! Still loving how this is coming out!

I make art, books, and music. A few people lately have told me that my writing is the strongest out of all my creative disciplines. I think I’m going to focus on my #writing for the foreseeable future. #amwriting #writersky

I keep getting spam messages from people who have put the content of my website into #AI to make slop “business proposals.” It is always clearly just readily available data. As if I didn’t need another reason to think this technology was a cancer on society. #writersky #booksky #writingcommunity

People whose feed is entirely reposts… why? I want to know your thoughts. #writersky #booksky #writingcommunity

I totally get the feeling about being excited about your #WIP. But I never want to give any details about anything I’m working on until it is buttoned up, done, and published. Under lock and key until it is complete. #writersky #writingcommunity
