So many review sites are there, Bookbub, Goodreads, Storygraph... You can review literally anywhere except amazon without having to pay anything. Just one line would do if you loved the book. You don't know how much it means to authors to have that review.

A fantastic story, with an ending that will punch you in the gut then side-eye you, daring you to challenge it

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

β€œI am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, β€˜What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, β€˜I'd rather die.’” 🫑

Sometimes things don't quite go to plan. It can be hard, when obstacles mean things don't turn out the way we wanted. But the important thing to remember, is that no matter how disappointed you might be, there are always BOOKS. #indieauthors #indiewriters #writingcommunity
