Happy book birthday to M. Jane Worma and the utterly fantastic novella, OF BEASTS. I read this last year and it’s remained with me ever since. This book is challenging and deeply discomforting. I highly recommend it!!

Smart people have already written about the many problems of generative AI better than I could, but I’ll tell you this about the thing I know: writing is about writing. It’s an action. A verb. It’s what we do. I write, you write, they write. Skip that and you’re not a writer.

All of this. I am the first of my target audience.
Part of this is, if you aren't creating for someone, it's like creating for everyone, which is creating for no one.
And as a writer, that someone should be me since I HAVE to reread my work over and over and over 🫠 that's publishing, bay-bee

"Why would I read something someone couldn't be bothered to write" is a great refrain but I would also add as a writer "I won't write something I couldn't be bothered to read" because that's what every one of my books are: something *I* want to read.
