  1. "#Writer, #critic, #cultural #commentator, #polyglot, and multilingual #translator #IlanStavans is very clear about his #Jewish heritage: His grandparents had been #Shtetl-dwellers in Eastern #Europe, in #Poland and the #Ukraine, and moved to #Mexico between 1919 and 1929 to flee #poverty, #antisemitism, and #pogroms. #Stavans was born in #MexicoCity in 1961 to an #Ashkenazi family.

    This certitude differentiates Stavans from many of the characters in #ElIluminado, a #graphicnovel in #English and #Spanglish that Stavans co-#wrote with #illustrator and writer #SteveSheinkin. In the #book, some of the characters are crypto-#Jews and are not entirely sure of, but suspect or deny, their Jewish heritage.

    El Iluminado was first published in 2012 by Basic #Books/Hachette. The University of #NewMexico Press republished it in March , because “the story is about #SantaFe and New Mexico, and is of this community,” says #UNM Press Director Stephen Hull."

  12. I've grown to appreciate the growing use of #ChatGPT and other #LLMs to #assist #writers who might not be #proficient #English #speakers and writers, or where English might not be their 1st, 2nd, or hell even 3rd language and now view these types of "reports" and "issues" a little differently.

    There is no evidence below that
    #AI "#wrote" the article completely on its own without any human involvement and intervention.

    It is perfectly understandable for a
    #Pakistani #journalist to feed their #draft copy into ChatGPT and ask ChatGPT to polish it up and make it appropriate for publishing.

    Which is no different than if the journalist went to a colleague and asked them to
    #wordsmith it for him.

    The only error here is forgetting to "
    #edit" ChatGPT's own "#edits" and getting called out for it.

    Then there's the whole "copyright" issue. AI generated works can not be copyrighted.

  17. #AuthorLife #writing #amwriting #spicy #romance #NightOwl

    I woke up at 3 AM and it was like the Muses slapped me in the face.

    I got up, grabbed the laptop, and #wrote 10 pages.

    As soon as the chapter was finished:

  18. #December 17, 1770
    #OTD Ludwig Van Beethoven, #German #Composer & #Pianist, is #Baptized.

    Beethoven loved #Nature. His 6th #Symphony is subtitled #Pastoral.
    Each #Movement reflects a #Day in the #Country.
    He #Wrote that he wanted the #Music to have an #Effect on the #Soul.

    He once told a #Friend,

    "[This is where] I composed the #Scene by the #Brook.
    [#Pointing to the #Trees], The #Yellowhammers up there -
    and the #Quails, #Nightingales & #Cuckoos - composed with me."

  19. CW: TW mentions death/suicide

    Today is the 3rd #anniversary of my grandfather’s death, which came 5 months after the death of my beloved grandmother (I’m estranged from my parents). Two days after my Papa’s #funeral, my dear friend Cliff died - on the very day I was supposed to be taking him to the #oncologist.

    I #wrote about that horrible period of my life - about #death and #loss and #love and #grief - in my personal essay in #AfterLife from #Haymarket #Books.

    I hope it #helps someone. Anyone.♥️

  20. #December 14, 1908
    #OTD Moritz "Morey" Amsterdam, American #Actor, #Writer, & #Comedian, is born.

    He played #BuddySorrell on #TheDickVanDykeShow for five years.

    He once #Wrote,

    According to #Statistics, a man eats a #Prune every twenty #Seconds.
    I don't know who this #Fellow is, but I know #Where to find him.

  21. #December 14, 1878
    #OTD Edward Bunyard, #English #Nurseryman, #Pomologist, #Rosarian, & #Food #Writer, is born.

    Edward #Wrote, A #Handbook of Hardy #Fruits & The #Epicure's Companion.
    Every #Christmas, he enjoyed his #Favorite #Apple, Orléans Reinette, with a glass of #Port.

    He is #Remembered for his #Landmark #Book, The #Anatomy of #Dessert, in which he wrote,

    It is the duty of an apple to be #Crisp + #Crunchable, but a #Pear should have such a
    #Texture as leads to #Silent #Consumption."

  22. Wrong Answers Only, What am I writing?

    (This is so far of what I've been writing for the past day)

    #Writing #Wrote #WrongAnswersOnly

  23. #January 15, 1906
    #OTD The #Nashville Banner revealed,

    "The [secret] #Author-ship of 'The Garden of a Commuter's Wife'... [is] Mable Osgood Wright."

    Her dad wouldn't let her study #Science at #Cornell.

    Mabel married a bookseller, #Wrote about #Gardens, #Nature, & #Birds, & created the first private American #Bird #Sanctuary - #Birdcraft.

    She once wrote,

    "Let everyone who makes #Garden plans... insert the letters C.P. after them as a reminder... for "#Climate Permitting."
