Was looking up some colouring books for an event at the school library and it's really just so sad to see how many of them are AI nowadays 😢

Sometimes as a writer you take completely random decisions that impact your writing way more than you thought but you've already committed to the decision so now you can't backtrack no matter how much it sucks.
I decided that magic doesn't exist in my story so no character ever talks of it

Being a school librarian is like being the cool aunt of the teacher's world
Yesterday some kids came to me with a petition to allow them to have a halloween party in their classroom and of course I signed it, I won't have to deal with any of the mess :D

The universe knows that if I saw Del Toro's Frankenstein in theaters it would lift me out of my depression and that's why it'll never, ever be in cinemas anywhere close to me

At the beginning of the school year the 2 people who'd helped out at the library before were mostly reassigned to other parts of the school which means I now kinda have to do the job of 3 ppl but also I've never had this much time to get through audiobooks before 👀 already listened to 7 this month

I think I should be able to allow myself a day of nothing but playing Hades II and napping (and driving home from the con) even though I have a mountain of editing work, house hunting stuff & just regular chores to get through.
I just hope my guilt will agree with me tonight

If Supergiant ever makes a Hades III with Macaria (super obscure and minor character in myth, Hades' daughter) as the playable character I will be so unbelievably sat. Idk how they will iterate on Hades II but I believe in them.

Being in a bookclub is fun because people will talk about scenes you have no recollection of and it just makes you realise how often your brain switches off when you're reading 🫠

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Would anyone be able to help me with this error on Draft2Digital?
When I upload my manuscript it's telling me it doesn't pass the EPubCheck due to an ERROR(OPF-029). Has anyone dealt with this error before? I've tried looking it up but couldn't find anything specific
