When though 😭😭😭 I NEED IT

People keep saying that AI is inevitable. Like Bartleby, I'd prefer not to... We "have to use it!" My response to that is simply... WHY? Why is it being pushed so much and into so many things? Once you've gotten people to cede their decision making to an algorithm, eventually they'll stop thinking for themselves. Why would I outsource thinking for myself to a machine? I have a brain.

"You have to use AI."

...why?

The amazing, talented and sublime performances of @erikaishii.bsky.social, @aabria.bsky.social and Lou Wilson are just perfect and hands me crying, screaming and cheering every step of the way. I binged this story so much that I want to do it all over again. I can’t wait for book 2!!! #WBN #WWW

So yesterday I finished Book 1 Of The Wizard, the Witch and The Wild One on #WorldsBeyondNumber and I am still stunned and breathless with the sheer exhilaration and beauty of this story. Everyone, from the peerless @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social (my GOD that man can tell a story! Holy shit!) 🧵

1 billion percent the same. Incredible.

Honestly I am so excited. WBN and the WWW has been one of the most fundamentally life changing explorations of story and experience I have ever had. It’s like the umami of consuming simmering and I still am breathless every time I look back. So take your time. What you do is worth it. Thanks 🙏🏻

Wrist gets me odds that close up is so clean and simple and yet when you look at the whole it’s incredibly detailed and complex. Fabulous and talented!

Rey, will the stream be published to YT at all afterwards?

Code WEBLAUNCH in the new shop gets you goodies!

How would you rate him, though? He looks like a very niche card that relies on a lot of combos.

Ugh they get some seriously good modes. Targeted splits sound amazing. Plus the idea of having more immersion in the universe via SHEILD research is awesome 🤩

Yo that is a SIIICK Fenris variant!

I did manage an extra 136 to take me over 1000!

Well it’s only about 130 more. I’ll give it a shot in a 20 min sprint in a bit! 👊🏻

Managed to get a good 872 words out today! Quite happy with that and might hop on to do some more later. #writing #writingcommunity

That Cuckoo is better than the final reward of the season pass!

I’ll never say no to a piece of cake. Unless it has coconut in or on it, in which case I will burn it and laugh.

It’s just not strategic enough, unfortunately.

Managed 475 words this lunch and it keeps me rolling with momentum!

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Shame, but I suppose less work!
