YA Has Entered Its Awkward Adolescence and It's Teens Who Are Losing Out

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.
A.I. and the Fetishization Of Ideas
In writing and in dispensing my (very dubious, probably shady) writing advice, I am often keen to note that ideas are bullshit. Most writers treat them like precious gems when really, ideas are lik…

My daughter just turned 15, the same age as the MC in my debut YA SF that came out 15 years ago. (Yes, I had a debut novel and firstborn in the same month.)
I’m re-releasing a new edition of that novel now. 15 years later. The ebook’s out November 15. (Print coming soon.)

I’m independently re-releasing an updated version of my YA SF debut The Unidentified, so I’m going to be real annoying about it for a while so people know the new ebook and print edition is coming out. Tell your friends so I don’t have to!

A reminder to always challenge your denials
Insurance strangleholds increased exponentially (maybe 12-18 mos ago) and my theory is that they all switched to AI to do their denials. They make denials that are wrong, even based on plan stipulations. Accordingly, it has also exponentially increased my burnout as a nurse practitioner.
You can honestly tell when AI has been installed in something, because that thing gets worse. Basic shit like autocorrect, or closed captioning, is getting wonkier and wonkier because they let the environment-destroying chaos liar have a crack at it. But sure, let's let it control nuclear missiles.

Progress doesn’t always look like pages written.
Sometimes it’s cuts, questions, or quiet thinking.
