For @WIRED, I spoke with Macmillan and PRH staff about AI at the rest of the Big Five. I also spoke with bestselling authors who've gone to "war" with publishers over AI use and are now demanding disclosures and threatening to leave their publishers altogether.

Maybe “study hard” was never the problem. We were just studying for a world that no longer exists.

Most interviews with the author are a couch and a box of tissues. Tell us about your childhood. Tell us the dream. Tell us how a sentence will save the planet if we clap hard enough. Your Strange Girl doesn't own that couch. Liudmila Brus writes the Geryon’s Code cycle. Book 1 walked out with five cookies. So book 2 arrived with a problem book 1 created: expectation. 👊🏻Why a chapter stamps the name, the date, and the place before anyone speaks. 👊🏻Why a finished picture sometimes gets a caption. 👊🏻What the other language does when it pushes through a hinge. 👊🏻Where she sits when the map gets thick and the reader blinks. These and more questions will be tackled in an upcoming Strange Girl Q&A with the author. If you want inteviews that will hold the author's hand while asking how writing saved them, or what about pineapple on pizza because the algorithm likes a humanizing snack, you might want to skip this one. We're talking craft here.

If you don't know, I share practical encouragement for fellow writers from what I've learned on my path to publishing my novel. I also have had the opportunity to interview several amazing authors in podcast form there too! There's a new kind of episode coming out next week you don't want to miss! youtube.com/@CreativeWriting…

WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY. It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill, free college, 0% down home loans, and low interest business loans. It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary. It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present. That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security. You want a higher birth rate now? Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay. That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.

Finally, after hundreds of emails promising to put my book in front of millions of eager readers, inviting me to share my book with their book club, anxiously pleading with me to send them the link to Goodreads so they could post their ecstatic review, I received a good old scam that informed me I had won 7.5 million dollars. I almost teared up. Almost. #WritingCommunity

Social Tropes I Hate - Statues Here we have one of Einstein. Why is he shown in old age and looking decrepit? He did nearly all his signature work as a young vigorous man. Why do we portray people at death's door instead of in their prime?

A frustrating thing about a lot of sci-fi television shows, is that when a hero gives what is supposed to be a grand persuasive speech, a full writer's room can't do any better than clumsy emotional appeals.
