I already knew they had my stuff. The last time I complained about it I got called an "ideas landlord" for believing I should get paid for the work they stole.
Meta used at least 16 of my books, and numerous articles, to help train the AI it will use to make billions.

Today is a good day to divest from Amazon and instead support small businesses.*
By using Libro.fm instead of Audible, your audiobook purchases support independent bookshops 😍

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.
Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Welp since the other guys decided to use a pirated copy of my book to train their AI…looks like I’ll be transitioning over here more frequently.

I am somehow a Lawful Pantser, a Neutral Plantser, and a Chaotic Plotter. All of those.
Where do you fall on the #DND alignment chart as a writer?
I am the entire Chaotic column, depending on the project. Or sometimes the phase of the project. Or sometimes my mood.
