Malas noticias: ayer aprobaron Chat Control (no la versión completa, pero sí una muy dañina). Aún tienen que ratificarlo así que aún podéis escribir e insistir para garantizar un internet usable. Son cinco minutos y esta herramienta os lo facilita fightchatcontrol.eu

The difference between the page and the screen is that the act of reading itself is a creative process. You have to create the world being presented on the page in your mind. The screen hands it all to you.

Someone once said: everyone says they want to write a book, but what most people mean is that they want to HAVE WRITTEN a book.
In other words, most people don't want to do the work.
'AI' is tempting for those people.
Real writers, though, are drawn to the work (in all its glory and frustration).

I don't use generative AI because as a writer of fiction, it offers me nothing useful creatively and nothing trustworthy when I do research. It's not worth the environmental impact. That it's been created by stealing my work and using it in breach of copyright law is a further but separate issue.
Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋
(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)

OK, inspired by @banditelli.org I wanted to post at least something crow. 🪶
Here they are engaging in mass vandalism just for the fun of it.
OK actually they're digging out beetle larvae that harm the lawn—you can see one in the iphone photo below—but it's pretty funny to see the mess they make.

“Writer’s Block”…. what exactly is that? Is it the moment when you’re midway through something and it locks because you need to do work on the premise? That’s not block, it’s process.
So what is it?

People who aren’t writers think writer’s block is at least as big and real a problem as I thought quicksand would be, as a child.

Went to see one of my heroes, Beatrice Alemagna. Her work is so good. She was invited by her publishers here in Spain. It was a joy, and an inspiration. Thank you, A Buen Paso and Combel.

FYI: I attended a virtual workshop last night with Flamingo/PRH editor Sylvie Frank (SCBWI WW). I asked where she finds new illustrators and she mentioned instagram and agent websites. #kidlitart

A lesson I had to learn in the last couple years is that as long as the tech industry has thrown all its money behind something then laws like copyright don’t matter.
