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!

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...🤭

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!!!!

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.
