Rough drafting an MG for the first time since 2009 🤫

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

SO excited for this!!!

“Writers must accept artificial intelligence” We must? I swear if a product is actually good and stands on its own merits it wouldn’t be constantly forced upon us. But AI sucks ass. It’s an irredeemable dogshit product and now it’s being framed as an inevitably. This is abuser verbiage

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.

Every time i see something about Avatar i get a little sad bc we coulda had a Battle Angel Alita franchise instead. James Cameron chose to dedicate the rest of his professional career to smurfs in space instead of the most metal cyberpunk manga series ever 😔

My daughter just turned 15, the same age as the MC in my debut YA SF that came out 15 years ago. (Yes, I had a debut novel and firstborn in the same month.) I’m re-releasing a new edition of that novel now. 15 years later. The ebook’s out November 15. (Print coming soon.) books2read.com/b/bpJdnq

I’m independently re-releasing an updated version of my YA SF debut The Unidentified, so I’m going to be real annoying about it for a while so people know the new ebook and print edition is coming out. Tell your friends so I don’t have to! Free peek at my site: raemariz.com/the-unidenti...
