What superb ears 🙂
You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Agatha Christie
Chelsea, London, where she lived during the late 20s.
Fossil collector & self-taught paleontologist Mary Anning's discoveries revolutionized our understanding of prehistoric life.
"The greatest fossilist the world ever knew," she made her finds in the Jurassic marine fossil beds along the cliffs of Lyme Regis (UK). She died #OTD in 1847. #WomenInSTEM

Are you writing contemporary #romance? A very interesting article here about current #publishing trends. path2pub.wordpress.com/2026/03/02/p... #writingcommunity
Yeah... Head's up to creatives: there are A LOT of scams targeting us right now (due to the recent deluge of AI-prompters calling themselves "writers," "authors," "artists," etc.). You've probably been dealing with this for a while, atp. If not, now you know! Eyes up!
My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and it’s difficult to see.
He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now he’s struggling to find work.
Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work.

Once, a long time ago. It definitely has a strange feel about it
And near to where I live 😊
Great news 🙂
Bless her. Hope she is doing well, now
We close our #WriterWednesday blog crawl and turn't tragedians' triumph with our credo: feed an author, leave a review.
Happens every time; well maybe not the bagpipes 😆
Another cunning AI #scam. Apparently my book will feature alongside icons like this - although not sure who this Margaret Atwood is supposed to be. Beware book clubs making outrageous claims. #booklovers #authorlife
Sorry to hear that, from a fellow sufferer.
Happy Caturday, and Valentine's Day from Twilight
#Caturday
Thanks. Good luck to you both, too.
It's horrible. Someone gave me a one star review recently which hurt
So sorry to read this. Authors should be supporting each other, not sabotaging. Hope you get lots of 5-star reviews to balance this. Best of luck x
Needed to see this today, thank you. Going through some very difficult family health stuff at the moment. Stopped writing. But now I am making myself sit down every day and write at least one paragraph.
The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1
The human took an old rug out of the closet today and the kittens had a grand time, pretending to fly it round the fort. (The human claims it's too dirty to get off the ground.) Our goodnight hugs go out to everyone who wishes they had their own magic carpet to fly away on...🧚

He was the most wanted man in the country. She was a Pinkerton detective and she wanted him more than anyone else.
