between the tariffs and genAI it makes any art that crosses your path, indie or mainstream, a hard-fought miracle. really appreciate the creativity you see because artists of all stripes are really working against an avalanche intent on burying us

p.s. authors, your editor cannot review your book. as much as we would love to and as much as we can help promote in other ways, it is considered a commercial conflict on most platforms and can even run the risk of getting your book banned.

The part of your brain the creates and the part of your brain that edits are different. When you edit while writing, you switch your mode of thinking and can gum up the works, so to speak, knocking yourself out of your groove. Correct obvious mistakes, but knock out your pages and edit them after.

Remember: Every book you’ve ever loved started as a messy draft #writingcommunity #skywriters

Hey, #booksky! Say hi to Emily. Her beautiful M/M historical romance, the 11th Code, had me copyediting through my tears—and she's currently writing her first fantasy novel. So excited to see her on here! #writersky #author

I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by Coke Zero and snacks

Book research is its own hobby. I could dig around for books I want to read all day. I could go to a bookstore and look at every spine, every cover, read every synopsis.

One of my greatest freelancing joys has been the freedom to spread my wings as a night owl, which generally has not been a problem—until Bluesky. I keep thinking of editing-related tweets at 1 a.m. 😂 Anyone know of a way to schedule posts? #writersky

Of course! Bear with me here, as this will be a bit of a thread. (1) Are there any familiar phrases or cliches? E.g., describing characters by eye and hair colour, or opening scenes with a character waking up. In other words, what differentiates your story and prose from other authors' work?

Hello! Thought I'd drop in and see what Bluesky's all about 👀 I'm Ann, an author and historian from Canada. I write historical fiction that shows us how the Victorians had a lot of the same problems (and same joys) that we have today. #WriterCommunity #BookSky #Writing #Authors #History #Books

I just read the most exciting blurb from a client ... but I'm not editing the manuscript until late February.

me when any program's AI assistant asks me if I want help writing:

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

Writers, musicians, actors & other creators strongly oppose upending copyright law to favour AI companies, as suggested in the UK's AI Opportunities Action Plan. As Kate Mosse says, seeking economic growth "cannot be on the basis of theft of our work". www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"it will take independent funding and governance to turn Bluesky’s underlying tech—the AT Protocol—into something more powerful than a single app. We want to create an entire ecosystem of interconnected apps and different companies that have people’s interests at heart" Sounds great.
