Back in Feb, when Grammarly said they were going to think about incorporating AI, I immediately canceled my account and uninstalled. And now they've actually done it.

I'm sharing because with everything going on, writers might not realize this is happening.

Turns out I wasn't paying attention and never wrote an introduction post, so here goes:

Hey Mastodon community! I'm an indie author with 10 novels, 7 novellas, and a whole bunch of short stories. I write #scifi #fantasy #postapocalyptic and #horror. Currently working on a #steampunk series.

Looking to connect with fellow writers. Excited to share ideas and support each other on this writing journey. #introduction #writingcommunity #indieauthor #writing


Hello everyone. I'm new here, part of the #TwitterMigration. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm mostly interested in #lgbtqia topics, #books, #writing, #computers, #StarWars, and US and world #news in general.

Any advice on workflows, tools and other resources to improve writing?

NEW ARTICLE: Twenty Screenplays by Women to Download for Free and Study

After my friend writer-director Liz Garcia challenged a fellow filmmaker's list of great screenplays for lacking any by women, I culled the internet and assembled this list of twenty brilliant scripts by women you can download for free and study.

I never did an #introduction and I keep hitting the character limit on my profile blurb, so:

I'm Michele Ann Jenkins aka Maj.
I was federated before it was cool and have just been biding my time on FB and Reddit until a critical mass happened somewhere better and now here we are!

I am equally interested in anachronisms, futurism, and current events. In all timelines, looking to listen & learn from a diversity of voice and lived experiences.

Ever evolving tag cloud because I keep being reminded of other interests:

In this interview, the author explains she got ChatGPT to spit out writing in the style of authors she knows because it trained on their work without permission, then says it’s the written version of what’s more apparent with image AIs.

She says she’d never use it that way. Then, not long after, she says she used DALL-E to generate part of a book cover so she wouldn’t have to pay a photographer.

Okay, so apparently, a large number of issues of GALAXY magazine are now available online for free.

Some younger folks may not be familiar with GALAXY, but in its day it was one the most important publications in science fiction and fantasy. The available issues include hundreds of stories by great classic SF&F authors.

For free. 😍

Just thought people would like to know.

#HappyNewYear! I’m Jon Reed (@jonreed), and I founded Publishing Talk in 2007. It’s an educational website for #authors, and includes advice on #writing, getting published, #SelfPublishing and marketing books. I’m an #author myself, and was a #publisher for 10 years.

Been on the bird site for years, but this feels like a better place to build a #WritingCommunity.

Interested in boosting #WritingTips and other advice for authors here - as well as sharing blog posts. #AmWriting #Introduction


Liblast's story has been completely overhauled - here's the draft 2. If you're into Sci-Fi, you might get a kick out of this one.

https://codeberg.org/Liblast/Liblast/wiki/Story-&-Lore-%5BSPOLIERS%5D

My goal for writing this story was to justify having two teams of identical-looking humanoid robots wielding identical-looking weapons blasting each other to bits on a variety or crazy locations.

It's cheap to make and robots help keep it family friendly 😀

I think this draft should do!

Content warning: AI and student writing


Twitter: ‘AI tech is using artists’ online work to train itself to mimic those artist’s styles!’

Me, putting my face in my hands. ‘Well, at least I’ll still be able to get writing work.’

Twitter: ‘Let’s all have conversations with this AI so we can teach it how to replicate expressionate writing!’

It's always a little infuriating how slow bodies of discourse are to admit needed changes. In this case, the evidence in favor of Enheduanna seems awfully clear.

#Inktober is here. I'm not one for drawing or painting, but will attempt to #write a paragraph or a few lines each day following the prompts, so it comes together as one story. I won't plan ahead, I'll just see how it goes.

How do #fantasy wizards know that the one-time use unique magical object they invented is going to do what they expect it to do?

This gives a cute #writing prompt: protagonist chases a fabled doomsday magical item to counter evil that ends up fizzling out and makes them rely on the friendships they made while on the quest trail.
