One of my main projects right now is a visual novel I'm creating with my partner. I'm in charge of all the writing
It's mostly conversation-based, and we decided to figure out how many conversations I'd have to write...

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.
I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.
Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

*When I grow up I want to be a list of further possibilities* is one of those books where half of the poems make me feel inspired or connected, and the other half makes me feel like I'm tripping balls

I read one short story about resurrection that was one of the coziest things I've ever read. 5 stars
I'm also beta reading a space opera novel. I'm only 4 chapters in so far but it's such a fun vibe

I've started doing writing for a visual novel project I'm part of.
It's about community building as a disabled person.
I'm super excited to share more of it later
(I haven't abandoned my lit fic draft either. It's still my main project, but I've joined some more side quests)

I keep sitting down to write more of my novel, and then scrapping and completely rewriting entire chapters.
This is the third writing session in a row 🫠
I am failing to follow the "don't go back and edit during your first draft" advice

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
Anyway, AI has already stolen friends’ work, and is going to put other people out of work.
I do not think a political party that claims to be the party of workers in this country should be using it. Even for just a silly joke.

Yes AI art is ugly, but that isn't the problem with AI art. AI art will get better and it will still be unacceptable.
AI art is built on stolen art. AI music is built on stolen music. AI videos are built on stolen videos. AI text is built on stolen text.
Across all mediums, fuck AI.

Can someone please tell Matt Hancock that healthcare workers are STILL unintentionally infecting people in their care? They aren’t masking, they aren’t testing, many aren’t staying home when they’re sick.
In Wales - 70% of people who needed hospital treatment for covid - caught covid IN hospital
