⌨️📚 There is always someone nearby who thinks they’re the 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 author, the 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫, and the 𝐛𝐨𝐬𝐬 of the keyboard. 😄 Behind every great book is a very important supervisor. 🐾✨

Writer me: yeah, this scene works, no notes 🙂
Five minutes later in beta reader mode:
Wait… who’s speaking? Why are they here? What’s their goal?? 😭
The whiplash between writing and editing is real.

Me as a writer: this scene is fine. 🙂
Me as a beta reader 5 minutes later:
Who is talking? Why are they here? What do they want?? 😭
Switching roles is humbling, not gonna lie.

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.

The creative process is nothing if not chaotic. 💚
At least The Ballad of the Emerald Bard is finished… mostly. 😉

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