And it was GREAT!!! @topgold.bsky.social

Looking forward so much to joining @topgold.bsky.social in a new and exciting topic at ICERI this Sunday: authentic storytelling in the era of AI. Turns out… we have a lot to say about that! Thank you @iated.bsky.social for giving us the platform!

Plot holes are the pockets of a story. They’re also a good reason to panic when you find them the night before your manuscript deadline. Are there LLM’s yet that can help out with this??

I hate editing my own work with the passion of a thousand suns. And right now these suns are distracted every two minutes so I’m getting nowhere 😤

Only @topgold.bsky.social can work while he works. Don’t tell him I ordered dessert while he is on his call 😁

Finding my niche in a topic that’s been exhausted before it even fully evolved is exciting work! Is this my path? Just to fill the time until I can quit my job and live from my non-AI assisted creative writing, of course 😏

Sent my manuscript to my publisher. I’ll be back online after I’ve slept for a week ✌️

I just finished the first draft of my manuscript. I’m kind of light headed and my hands hurt from typing. Now to revise into infinity. Luckily my deadline is only early next week and an international friend is visiting over the weekend. It’s fine. I’ll be fine. Right?

Current word count for today: 2835. Impressed by myself. And I have 2,5 hours of unterrupted writing time ahead of me. If I can keep myself focused, that is.

Today's word goal: 5.000 I think 2.500 is more realistic, considering it's a race day, but we'll see how it goes.

Where does authenticity end and computer work begin? How do we foster our own unique voice in the stories we want to tell? Is there a place for AI in this process at all? @topgold.bsky.social and I are exploring this exciting avenue for #iceri2025. 1/2

Went shopping with a friend today. I wasn't looking for anything (my closet overfloweth) so obviously I ended up spending more than she did. #ohwell

Word count: 10.260. Behind schedule, but on track in the storyline itself. I hope.

6500 words into my new manuscript. Not going as quickly as I'd hoped, but then again I am a thinker and need to have it worked out in my head before I can put words to paper. Onward we go

If you're reading this, now is a good time to unstick your tongue from the roof of your mouth.

A couple of days later than my usual tradition start-of-the-holiday annual read. I cannot recommend this book enough. If you want to know what working in higher education is like… this hilarious, satirical book is uncomfortably close to the truth.

Finally took the time to upload the book vouches I've accumulated over the past few months. Now I have a solid amount of book money and *still* I need to convince myself I am allowed to buy a book if it's not in Kobo+

Today’s plans: - work out - write - walk Today’s reality: - to be continued ;)

Asking chatgpt for parenting advice (for research) is hilarious to me. I would never rely on a bot but all my mom friends are on holiday. Also low key worried about the ads that are undoubtedly going to pop up soon-ish.

Trying to build my author's website... I'd rather be writing

Starting to get less flat the closer I get to my destination ❤️ Also, super new on Bluesky! How does this work?
