I think if you use gen ai, you should be sentenced to stand on a stage and have writers/artists pelt you with rotten tomatoes while Steve from Blues Clues tells you how disappointed he is in you, oh and every tomato that hits you drains your company's stock closer to bankruptcy.

shout out to all the writers and artists who take forever to finish something. I get it, bro. I take a long time too. but your worth as a writer/artist isn't built upon production. so just keep striding it out. keep taking those steps. we each have our own race track. we'll get to the finish line

just an FYI, when I say “my writing” there's: the writing I publicly share, then there's the writing I keep in my folders, and then there's the earth's molten core, and below THAT there's the "writing" that exists only in cool scenes I imagine in the format of a movie while I fall asleep every night

Writing prompt: Your character, desperate for a particular medication, arrives at the pharmacy just as the pharmacist is locking up for the night. What do they do? Who is the prescription for and what does it treat? #writesky #writersky #writingcommunity

Laurie has a reoccurring dream about waking up trapped in his childhood bedroom. Theo has nightmares about finding Laurie's dead body. #queerprompts #amwriting

Laurie: Joan Jett costume - a leather jacket, chunky belt, combat boots, teased hair, thick eyeliner. Theo: the most he'll do is wear a sweater with a jack o' lantern on it. #LGBTQWriteAThon

One of my main characters is demisexual and one of his friends is aromantic. But neither of them are aware of these terms. #queerprompts
