The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

Watch out for out-of- the-blue emails from supposed marketing experts claiming they just happened on your book & are eager to promote it. This is something I'm seeing more and more of. Marketing scams aren't new, but this is a new twist.

The first person to tell me I 'must be using AI because there are em dashes in my books' is going to get a lecture on punctuation and house style, followed by a practical demonstration of the word 'eviscerate'.
the em dash has grown in popularity over the last 20 years or so and is thus over represented in the data sets they trained the fraud machine on and now we are supposed to tell people to stop using them because they were finding them useful, it's idiocy all the way down
Dashes are very normal parts of written English and are "AI tells" mostly because they were left off default keyboard configurations and thus are annoying to type in casual writing relative to how often they're used in professional writing.

Book rec: James by percival everett
I was so excited to see this win the pulitzer for fiction this year. It's a stunning, harrowing, important read, and left me examining the power of language, words, and reading long after I'd finished it.
