The proposed changes at the State Library of Victoria are an absolute travesty. This is a great outline as to why.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

I had the pleasure of beta reading Lexi Haven's short story, "Set Up and Snowed In", and I'm so happy to see it going out into the world ๐ It's perfect for lovers of the opposites attract and sibling's best friend tropes (and of course, the snowed in trope ๐).

After three failed ideas and a lot of tinkering, I think I'm done. But seeing as I still have 19 hours, I think I will sleep on it before I seal the deal.

Australian artists, journalists, authors and researchers create the stories and knowledge that shapes who we are as a nation. If AI companies want access to their work, they should have to negotiate with copyright holders like anyone else.

I'm never sure if these petitions do anything, but I figure it is better than doing nothing. So many people already struggle with the income barrier, let's not make it worse.

I guess it's a good thing I've been in a bit of a writing slump. Means I haven't lost anything important after my cat knocked my smoothie over my laptop. ๐ญ Oh well, I was planning on getting a new one anyway.

I must remember not to get high hopes, but it's been ages since we had a good "OMG they found something?" moment. So, one foot firmly on the ground while I eagerly watch for updates ๐ But even if there's no Doctor Who announcement, it's still amazing that an organisation like this exists. ๐๐๏ธ

Why do men get to enjoy fantasies that would be dangerous in real life, but a woman reading romances with possessive MCs is bad? It doesn't mean she's going to copy the FMC, just as most men wouldn't copy John McClane. It's fantasy fiction about passion, dedication and fidelity, not a dating guide.

As someone who is trying to write paranormal romance and also hates a messy first draft, this is so encouraging.

I don't mind a billionaire romance (though I prefer millionaire romances - you still get the "rich hero" trope, but it's easier to believe there was no exploitation involved), but if I saw an "AI CEO" romance, I would just assume that book was written by ChatGPT.

One of my fave ways to support romance authors is to add/edit tags on
romance.io
. Even if I decide the book is not for me and I DNF, I can at least add the tags I know are relevant.
