1. Walt Disney would hate this. 2. They’ve always had the money to pay artists fairly, they just never wanted to. 3. Anything made by AI is, and always will be, complete and utter slop. apnews.com/article/disn...

I got to write about my new book for @writersdigest.bsky.social! www.writersdigest.com/3-anxiety-in...

I love playing with these people. Check out COLLEGE TOWN!

I had so much fun talking to writers in Napa about WRITE A ROMANTASY: 99 WRITING PROMPTS TO CRAFT A TALE OF HEART AND HEROISM. We did a spicy writing exercise & one writer said she was writing in cursive so no one nearby would see how dirty she was lol. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Write-...

No one is going to watch a crappy AI generated Game of Thrones starring Marilyn Monroe. It's slop, it's bad, and no one wants it. Maybe some idiots will enjoy the novelty factor for a brief moment, then they'll want real movies and shows created by humans. The AI bubble will burst dramatically.

I am so sad about Diane Keaton. She loomed large. One of the great-greats.

Remember that moment in Say Anything when Diane Court says she reads the dictionary for fun and she highlights all the words she has learned, and Lloyd skims through the pages and there's HIGHLIGHTS EVERYWHERE. *That* is cool in a way that no one who uses ChatGPT will ever be.

I was so close to getting mad. Thank you for keeping it real, Merriam-Webster. (Can I also just say I think it's time for us to bring back The Encyclopedia Britannica??)

I've started hearing from writers who are using the prompts in Write a Romantasy to write their own romantasy & IT'S SO EXCITING, y'all. I love that the book is inspiring writers. In a world where creativity is being threatened every day, keep using your weird wonderful human brain to tell stories!

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

I saw Stand Up If You’re Here Tonight at Echo Theater Company in LA (at Atwater Village Theater) and it’s wonderful. An antidote to all the toxicity of <waves arms around> everything. A play about connection that makes you feel more connected to people in the room. AND it’s only 60 minutes long! Go!

ANGELINOS. I'm told there are only a few tickets left for my writing workshop book signing for WRITE A ROMANTASY. Tomorrow night Thurs Sept 4. Ticket includes copy of the book! www.therippedbodice.com/events-and-t... #FantasyIndiesSeptember #Booksky #Writesky #WritersCommunity #Authorsky #readers

AI is bad at customer service. Full stop. It totally sucks. Every company that uses AI for customer service is creating a worse experience for consumers/customers/clients and ultimately make their company less valuable. Is the cost cutting worth it?

There are 79 working days left in 2025. If you write 1 1/2 pages a day, every working day, you can finish a script before New Years. If you write 3 pages a day, you could complete a novel. 1000 words a day, roughly 4 pages, and you could write three scripts. A page at a time comes together quickly

Thank you @writersdigest.bsky.social for asking me to write about my new book WRITE A ROMANTASY: 99 Writing Prompts to Craft a Tale of Heart & Heroism. I wrote 3 original prompts for WD to give some flavor of what you'll find in the book. #WriterSky #Romantasy www.writersdigest.com/3-heart-pump...

Yep. And furthermore, every homophobic person who thinks being gay is a choice is undeniably bisexual. They think it's a choice because they made the choice to deny half of their sexuality. Leave us alone and deal with your own repression.

It feels homophobic to just say 5678 as if it's just a random sequence of numbers.

The bathroom code at this coffee shop is "5678" and every time the baristas *don't* say it with the rhythm of a choreographer "and a 5-6-7-8!" a little part of me dies inside.

Countdown: 16 days until Write a Romantasy comes out! www.amazon.com/Write-Romant...
