I am not a Bookworm.

I'm a Bookdragon.

Pumpkins, sweaters, and falling leaves... there's nothing as cozy as Autumn 🍂

Happy September!

Needed dopamine, so here's a quick mood board of the vibes in Project Dragonshire ✨️

#Cozyfantasy #romanticfantasy #fantasybooks #wip #moodboard
Mood board of twelve images in a grid as follows: incense, poppy field, map, bottle in grass, mountain, yarn, toadstool, tea pot and cups, lantern, olive tree branch, picnic, autumn leaves. Underneath is the text: "Project Dragonshire" and "A cozy romantic fantasy" with a Middle Eastern teacup on the right of the text.

Apparently, Jane Austen used chatgpt to write Pride & Prejudice 🙄

This is why the trend of claiming authors used AI after "checking" their work in AI detectors is hugely problematic. Big AI models were all trained on others' (largely stolen) work. Of course, it's gonna get flagged.
