Illustrators are great!
Really appreciated the brief AI discussion on @overduepod.bsky.social this week. It is so meaningful to us illustrators when other book ppl speak up questioning prose authors' use of AI imagery in place of hiring illustrators.

"Fitzgerald retains an instantly recognizable voice while veering across a wide range of subjects. The breadth of her knowledge, the lucidity of her intelligence and the quirkiness of her characters provide the satisfaction of a 19th-century novel, yet there is nothing musty about any of her books."

“I had to be hurt into novel writing…I had to have a lot of ego pounded out of me and pride, I had to learn compassion. I had to do enough vile things that I hated myself, and then was forgiven, so that I had something to write about that wasn’t about how other people perceived me.” - Louise Penny
