Oh my, that's an extreme close up of my face.

I am the world's worst speller. Every time I send off a book, I say a prayer for my editor and beta readers. Oddly enough, I love words. I try to learn a new one every day :)

It's definitely worth it. I hate it when I'm reading a book and there is a glaring grammatical error, it takes you out of the story. I remember sending off my first book to an editor. Her notes were longer than my book. I was angry at first, but thankful later :) :)

Definitely harder and more involved. I need to learn how to make editing fun, it has to be a mindset I've yet to master.

It is complicated, for sure. But, I like what you said, that it can be interesting and fun. I'm going to make that my goal.

Have a great day!

I know Tom Petty said "The waiting is the hardest part," but I must respectfully disagree.

Editing. The editing is the hardest part.

Why do we constantly have to opt out of this AI garbage? Why doesn't Big Tech instead give us an opt-in option? (Because they're dicks.)

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I tried to ask Kenny Loggins to right a song about it, but he refused. If we could turn the feature on or off it would be nice. Strange to have AI generate what a character is thinking or what's behind their actions.

Idea for Kenny L:
AI to the Danger Zone, Danger Zone
I thought it was catchy...🤭

I try to do the same. I hope the article was helpful!

It's crazy. I had to pinch myself this morning to see if it was really me. My daughter offered to do it, but I believe she had an ulterior motive.

I think that I should get a contour pillow. I've had a couple of people recommend them, and I just need to take the time to do some research to find a good one. You have to watch out for oatmeal! And heavy ladles. Have a wonderful evening!!!!

Oh yeah! How did you sleep last night? Me? Clearly I made some mistakes.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays :) 👍

You know you're getting old when you pull a back muscle stirring oatmeal. I guess I should have stretched and warmed up first.

I do believe Bluesky's inner workings are flawed.
When I select "Show Less Like This" for a particular type of post, my newsfeed becomes inundated with those type of posts. I'll go back to shuffling around my kitchen now.

Oh no! I hope you are feeling better, if not I hope you feel better soon! I'm so sorry you're sick, the flu is no joke!
