As a person living in a small town more than an hour away from a city, with lots of bigger towns all around them...
Yes, ICE/CBP can and will come to your small town. They're in mine.
Prepare now.

I miss my writing group, because while I believe all novelists engage in world building, going from an alternate present to a fantasy world is kind of breaking my brain. I understand all of the maps and glossaries and wikis now and would like to discuss with my friends. 😫

I had an issue recently with someone on here, and I've been reflecting on whether or not I did the right thing.
If you're pretending to have a genuine conversation with someone, but really you're just waiting for a sales opportunity, people can tell. Even this autistic person can tell.

The third draft of It's the End, Pennie Wilson has been sent to a few beta readers. I won't write another unless it's directed by a professional. The biggest change is a new flashback chapter where Pennie struggles to socialize appropriately with people who do not have her best interests at heart.

Recently spent a little time away. Rode a coaster bike to coffee shops to write. Read on the beach and listened to the surf. Explored an abandoned village. Watched my dad fish.

In an effort to push this account somewhat closer to being on-topic, occasionally, I want to celebrate that I gave myself permission to pay for the writer's conference package that comes with networking events and a pitch. If I can be a safety marshal at protests, I can do this. #pitch

I was writing a letter to the editor of my local paper regarding homelessness, and was debating if a .gov site would still be a reliable source for my research, but... No, it's a council that doesn't exist anymore and the website, while still indexed, is down. I used the Way Back Machine. RIP USICH.

While you're busy trying to get people fired, perhaps you could consider focusing that energy on Brian Kilmeade of Fox News, who suggested homeless people should be subject to "involuntary lethal injection."
He said: "Just kill them."

A thing not often mentioned here is one of the things OpenAI is trying to take away is community. Having experts beyond yourself — and professionals and friends and family and and and — means interacting with them, enforcing community. This attempts (poorly, thankfully) to diminish and destroy that.
OpenAI releases the newest version of the AI model that powers its popular ChatGPT chatbot, with CEO Sam Altman promoting it as like having a “team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket.”

OpenAI says its latest version of the popular AI model is better at coding, more accurate and less deceptive than previous versions.

I went to a coffee shop to write, but I saw it was too busy for my laptop so I've been sneakily writing on my phone, lol.
A whole bunch of kids just sat next to me. They are cute. Why do children get up and sit back down so often? It's like writing through an earthquake. 😂😂😂😂
