There's artificial intelligence... and then there's actual intelligence :)

Such a thoughtful post on creativity and art residencies. This resonates with me: “I think it's important to try to let go of the pressure to produce and spend some time cultivating skill and playing, discovering…”

In publishing, the sales track influences everything: how agents pitch books, how editors buy books, and how readers select books. “The primacy of track, in other words, is a barometer for the health of literary culture,” writes @tajjaisen.bsky.social. thewalrus.ca/the-publishing-i...

There’s a persistent myth that the arts and humanities are "impractical" degrees. This is profoundly wrong. The ability to think critically, communicate clearly, and understand complex human systems is more valuable than ever in a world being reshaped by AI.

Yesterday I walked 9 holes at The Banff Springs golf course while my kids participated in a youth golf program. Gorgeous day and plenty of time for considering plot holes in my current writing project.

Can you fall in love with AI? My piece assembled using online debates, news articles and expert opinion about chatbots in @theglobeandmail.com today. [gift link] www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/e51db13...

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives. The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

At a conference today where writers will be pitching and chatting with agents. So, just my evergreen advice there, don’t be afraid to just read your query letter. Anyone who says you need to memorize your pitch isn’t someone you want to work with. You’re not auditioning for your school musical.

“[I] hope that anyone who is in the field of publishing, particularly commercial publishing, will find some way of continuing to publish and to argue for poetry. I say this because I firmly believe that poetry is language raised to its highest power” (bpNichol)

“A perfect example of how many hands are needed to save one life.” A little thread on my story out today in @theglobeandmail.com.

No. I haven’t read 5 books. I’m enjoying one. No. I haven’t written thousands of words. I’ve been chipping away at projects bit by bit. No. I haven’t been updating socials every day. I’ve been busy. Yes. It’s okay to live slowly as a writer. Keep going. ✍️❤️ #writing #writingcommunity

What is a Canadian? Is it someone who always wanted a House Hippo? Is it someone who can sing the lyrics to The Log Driver's Waltz? Is it someone who knows what a Gordie Howe Hat Trick is? Maybe it is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe, as Pierre Berton was alleged to have said. 1/4
