Like many creators, I've stressed over whether Chat GPT could steal my livelihood as a writer. So I engaged it in conversation. Here's what happened: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-chat-gpt-got-me-my-book-really-wrong-sheila-averbuch

Holy crap.

Faleena Hopkins, the romance author behind #Cockygate, was in a high-speed chase and is now a missing person and I don't know how to process this.

I'm considering moving to a new instance. I'd love to find a place focused on discussing writing, #indiePublishing, and book marketing. (I just don't want to get swamped with book ads.)

Any suggestions?

US #librarians: on behalf of #authors may I ask, is there any hope of a Public Lending Right equivalent in US, as in UK & Ireland? Authors whose work is borrowed here get a yearly payment. Has this been mooted in US? I just got my PLR payment here in Scotland but something similar from US libraries would be golddust. All comments welcome -- I'm keen to learn.

Yes!! Had one of those writing mornings: the main character's emotions feel authentic and the next action will be driven by these emotions, and her resolve to act. I've only published one novel but written so many manuscripts and this is that bullseye feeling I live for: knowing my MC's character is driving the action, rather than me as the author dragging her along to get the story over with.
