Editing my draft right now and thinking, “If the author mentions the color of this man’s eyes one more time, I’m going to rage quit.” Except, I’m the author. I’m going to make myself rage quit. #Funny #Writing #CreativeWriting #WritingCommunity #EditingCommunity #Fiction #WriteSky #WritingHumor

Ah yes, equality in literature—finally, the male gaze meets poetic justice. ✍️🙃
Some of you are about to realize how weird your prose actually sounds.

If AI Loves Your Writing, Be Very VERY Worried - Kristen Lamb AI is the new buzzword. Everything AI! Yet, we've fallen into the AI Uncanny Valley, and now we want to know who's real and who we can trust.

If AI tells you your writing is perfect, maybe back away slowly. 🤖✍️ Kristen Lamb makes the case that being adored by algorithms might not be the flex we think it is. Slightly hilarious. Slightly terrifying. buff.ly/KdrL5yu #amwriting #AI #WritingHumor #WritersLife

POV: your mom proudly tells everyone you’re an author… and you’ve written exactly 100 words. 😌📚
Still counts, right? Every book starts somewhere.

WWHD? A feral writer's Pulitzer Quest

Update:

Posted WWHD? yesterday.
Still no Pulitzer.
Still no guidance from the ghost of Hemingway.
Considering switching liquors again.

Science takes time.

Every writer’s inner monologue when a rejection hits:
“Dear Sir… this rejection letter needs work.”

Petty? Maybe.
Accurate? Absolutely.

This year I learned that auto-save is not my friend. It’s more like that unreliable cousin who says they’ll help you move, then ghosts you on moving day. RIP to the 700 words I’ll never see again.
