Time to be blunt. With the disintegration of trad social media, AI BS, & the constant stream of distracting bad news, it is harder than ever to get readers for SFF magazines. If what we do is important to you, please boost our posts wherever you see them. ❤️🦄

There must be a German word to describe the satisfaction as the fridge slowly empties of holiday leftovers. I have that feeling today.

Eye check-up this morning resulted in both eyes being dilatated and the special 'bright' lamp. The eye of sauron is now imprinted in my vision so I guess I can say I've been to Mordor and back again.

Blood flowed at my driving lesson yesterday. And I hadn’t even started the car. It’s made editing a pain today as my finger is all bandaged up.

I'm playing around on ChatGPT because it's important to know how it's going to affect writing and editing in the future. I just want to say, "You're drunk, ChatGPT."

Spending this lovely day catching up on the Publishers Weekly AI Conference. I'm of the opinion that the 'enemy you know' is better than the one you don't. Let's be a part of the change so we can help shape it!

I haven't been doing much fun reading. Instead these lovely books have been my companions since August. It's been worth it! On Monday, 10 October (my mom's 70th birthday), I passed my driving theory test! Onward to driving lessons for my practical test!!
