A friend posts a video, It is really kind of naff, But it's so full of joy and hope It can only make you laff. #poem #poetry

There is one side of AI that Authors don't talk about. The HATE that some authors show if you as a writer use AI for anything. It is vicious, dismissive. I don't use AI to write, but my X header is made with AI and I won't condemn writers who use AI. It's enough to get me hated.

I am writing a book about a young band set in 1976. Back then, a ticket to the Hammersmith Odeon (Apollo) was £2 (£18 at today's money). Beer was 32p (£3). But now, Apollo tickets are £50 to £100. Beer £8!!! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr89… @EdwardJDavey

Ed Davey calls for immediate 10p cut to fuel duty

Sir Ed blamed Donald Trump's war with Iran for damaging the UK economy and pushing fuel prices up.

This is Google's Trust & Safety Team's final judgement on an ad selling a scam SSD drive - apart from being an obvious scam, it is also a well known one. Google clearly don't give a damn about ordinary people - they just want MONEY!

The grammar checker I use, @ProWritingAid, advises against overusing dialect as it slows readers down. We should NOT pander to those who want bland and uninspirational prose. But should take our readers on a journey of story and words. Else, what is the point of storytelling?

Silly writing tip. I have realised, rather late, that writing with a font size of 14 rather than 11 or 12, keeps me more focussed and more likely to see errors. So I have two new templates. 14 point, Garamond, and 1.5 line spacing, and a 16-point version for the audiobook.

AI writing is getting a lot better in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. To the point of giving it a unique voice. Making it hard for a human to detect. But detection programmes are also getting better. It is not as simple as this.

I’m very concerned to hear some literary agencies are now using ‘tools’ to detect AI-generated writing. These so-called detection programs aren’t accurate! If you can’t tell just by reading a submission, surely you should be trying to educate yourself?! We’re so screwed. 😭😭

I tire of authors telling other authors what a book should be like: It must be all show no tell (zero poetry) Never passive (Everything in your face) Mono perspective (forget the other characters) Don't use complicated words (readers hate words) Well, that eliminates the greats!

"He" doesn't. Never has. AI didn't exist when I wrote my last eight books. And it isn't used on the 11 book series I am currently editing. I don't need it because I enjoy writing. Where you get off on accusing me, I don't know. Your problem.

He definitely uses AI to write, just like the AI profile photo.

Why is it so complicated in the US to change your names? A judge has to approve it? In the UK, you can legally call yourself what you like. If you are regularly called that name, then it is yours. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2l…

Brad Pitt's children are dropping their dad's surname - here's why I did the same

Hannah had used her mother's maiden name on her social media for years before she legally made the change.

In practice, because of things like taxes, banking, etc, you will need a deed poll. But it is just a form you fill out and pay a fixed fee - ($22.50). The resulting certificate can be used to inform your bank of a change of name, for instance, passport, driving licence, etc...

It is dawn. The lights are out in the room. Golden sunlight streams through the window, illuminating the the table. The author is asleep with his head flat on the table. He is surrounded by bits of manuscript. He is holding a pen losely in his hand.

Someone hating on self-publishing said it's SO CRINGE to say this, so I'll say it! Read my book, read my book! Oh, wait! I have many books. Who cares? Read all of them! You have nothing to lose, except for your precious time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worth a try, right? 😂

Lust is like a German beer Full of froth, fizz and cheer You drink it fast, the gallons plenty Then grab another, cos you're still empty Love's a wine so old and rare That sits and waits for us to share Its long embrace cheers us up As out slips the cork with a gentle pop!

What sort of poem Should I whisper in your ear To make your heart beat Raise now a tear? What kind of voice Will caress your soul Bring the blood of youth In from the cold? I am sitting still Thinking of lover's rhymes And would speak to you Through the dark times
