Look, I no longer dress my kid in the morning before school. So if he decides he wants to wear shorts despite me telling him its 20 degrees out, that's on him.

A screen capture from ProWritingAid showing recommended changes to dialogue. 

Original text: I heard the Knights were having a party and made sure I asked for the night off 

Suggested replacements. 

1. Information circulated regarding the Knights’ gathering, prompting me to secure the evening free.

2. I learned of the Knights’ event; thus I requested the evening off.

I’m using Pro Writing Aid for my self editing (don’t worry, my living, breathing editor is scheduled) & I am finding it useful for some things.

Replacement dialogue, not so much. Dialogue is not its strong point. I’m convinced it was trained on Jane Austen & the Brontë sisters. #3 is my fave.

Listened to a @fatedmates.net trailblazers podcast on the way to work & decided to look at their library. I realized they didn’t have one with @suzbrockmann.bsky.social & thinking they should fix that. Just saying. 😁

Another day, another inexperienced but hopeful writer, announcing that they have “been offered a book deal” for £20,000. Turns out that the author is being expected to PAY THIS to the publisher, not the other way round. Folks, no publisher does this.

Dear Readers,

“Vellum” is not AI.

It is a formatting software that has been around for several years. Many, MANY indie authors use Vellum to format their books for distribution.

Please stop giving books one star reviews because the IP page says “made with Vellum”. 📚💙

"You don't understand. Schumer had to do it. It's complicated, and you just don't get it."

Actually, I would love to get it. I would love nothing more than to understand his reasoning and take it as sound. So, let me ask you: if a leader can't effectively communicate, why are they our leader?

I do believe we’re facing a generational problem. We have Dems who’ve been in office so long that they think their job is just to get elected in the next cycle and not to govern and wield power. They worry too much about what Rs might weaponize and as a result they refuse to fight.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

The kids had winter break last week & we went to Venice for Carnival. I asked my Italian publisher about arranging a time to meet & it turned out they were going to be in Venice as well!

So I got to have dinner with Eleonora of Follie Letterarie! It was such a pleasure meeting her. 💙📚
