Those who push AI refuse to address the baked in plagiarism. They also fail to understand when and how writing happens. I have spent the last few hours revising poems. Reading them aloud, testing wording, re-breaking lines, changing punctuation, etc. AI cannot do that. AI should not do it either.

Try her Earthsea books. They are a nice gateway into her novels.

Yay!

Yay for demon banishment!

Ha! Not that kind! I’m the book reading kind who has to work from home because her skin sets itself on fire several times a month (Chronic Hives).

Please prioritize rest. You deserve so many good things, and definitely so much less pain. May you mend soon!

Good to know. It is in my TBR pile.

I know it will be worth it in the end, but I generally hate backstitching because I am ready to be done, not ready to go over everything from new angles.

This chart has been a pain the whole time, and while I like covering ground fast, I hate the tangles and odd angles of backstitch. I worked on two colors and swore a ton this afternoon.

I have entered backstitch hell on my piece.

I lived in Minneapolis for a few years. I knew what you meant. And Philly is unique.

Oh no! Please be kind to yourself.
