I use "not only this - but also" for dramatic effect when I want to grab the audience's attention. The pause and the anticipation refocuses listeners.

I could go on, but you get the idea.

When I write, I like to bring the stories alive as if I'm telling them. A lot of storytellers do this in their books. And now people are like "don't do this if you don't want to be flagged as AI"???

We were here first, dammit.

I keep seeing a lot of advice for writers saying "don't use this, don't use that" because it will show up as AI written.

I hate it. It makes me worried. A lot of the "AI" traits in writing overlap with storytelling language. Spoken language.

When I write, as a storyteller, I use em dash when I would take a breath or a pause on stage, instead of finishing a thought. I use triple adjectives because in spoken word they add to the rhythm.

Because the stories we tell matter. The stories we highlight matter. The heroes of those stories matter. And the canon needs to expand.

#FolktaleMoment of the day:

Reading a legend about how emperor Franz Joseph's wife was a witch who used to turn him into a horse and ride him every night.

As a reminder that traditional storytellers often used everyday spoken language, here is what the wise advisor says when the Emperor confides in him about the matter:

"F*** hell, Joe..."

:D
