I donโt usually get such a colorful wake up. Typically itโs coffee in bed & the morning news, which to be fair isnโt such a bad start, either. But I was happy I forgot to remove my alarm on holiday.
Something about an urban sunrise that gets the magic flowing.

Women are partly to blame if raped while drunk, a fifth of Maltese say
One in three say women make up or exaggerate rape claims
Let me tell you a story, about the country I live in. It's a bunch of misogynists. The end.
Also, gotta love how if a man is drunk it's a legit defence, while when a woman's drunk it's the victim's fault ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Does anyone else forget about mundane things like food or grocery shopping when on a writing roll? Weeks like these are when Iโm thanking my lucky stars for a better organized SO than me. Walking to the kitchen & finding this after I hit 10kโฆ *chefs kiss*

Not to mention these are publishers, the very people who are supposed to appreciate the depth of these professions the most. Itโs such a pity.

Yup, goodbye editors, designers, translators etc. 2 reasons why I care - firstly, these are colleagues whose considerable skills are being relegated to AI. A human edits sensitively, with nuance. An AI editor ticks boxes. More selfishly, authors are the next obvious step. Itโs all connected

Maybe I'm a pessimist but I see it as putting focus on AI rather than authors. How soon before we don't need a human author to write a book?

Next up: New publisher aims to disrupt industry by burning books.
Forgive the blatant sarcasm, but can we stop using the term 'disrupting' to legitimise what's obviously a stupid idea?

It is ridiculous how people have started applying the term 'distrupting' to anything that is plainly a ridiculous idea in the hope of giving it legitimacy

I was once employed by someone who insisted that I use Grammarly for all copy-writing. That didn't last long... Never understood this obsession with such tools, there's zero nuance.

Monday blues? What be those? Today Iโm going to do some writing here & then go for a nice, long walk in the sunshine. Happy to give up security, sick leave & all, for the freedom to plan my life the way I want to. Could do without that ๐๏ธ in the distance though ๐

The simplest of things inspire a new story. Itโs been a while since I sat down to write for the sheer joy of it, but a walk within an old palazzo in my hometown of ลปebbuฤก, Malta, got my mind wandering happily again.
This is one of the photos, a folly overrun by gorgeous greenery.
