Portrait of ChatGPT as a Young Artist: Vauhini Vara on Voice, Tech, and Using AI in Writing I met Vauhini Vara in early 2022 during a visit to Colorado State University, where her husband, the novelist Andrew Altschul teaches. I liked her immediately (and I rarely like people immediately)…

@sarahviren.bsky.social and @vauhinivara.bsky.social discuss voice, tech, and the use of AI in writing.

Hey look at me I've been here for years and I still have zero books out. You can just be a writer! No qualifications! No clue what you're doing! Just making things and telling other people about it all day who barely care! That's all I do!

Loved the Jeff Buckley reference in the beginning of Colum McCann’s Twist.

Review: The Mead Spiral 100 College-Ruled Notebook Releasing the same month as the latest iPad, Mead has taken a big risk with its new 100 Notebook series. Built around a minimal feature set and a l...

"The Mead 100 comes equipped with an embossed cardboard cover available in a variety of colors and patterns. In a nod towards its younger and perhaps more tech-savvy users, many of the designs feature kittens, sports stars, or dolphins leaping across the planet Saturn."

A decade ago exactly zero students used β€œamongst” now it has fully replaced among. Tell me your theory of why this happened? Is it the rise of Bridgerton? Did Microsoft make it the suggested replacement in its grammar check? Does JK use it in Harry P?

My hand, holding my contributor copy of β€œPinch.” The cover art is β€œThe Way They Are, The Men” by Van Eggers and showcases an artistic interpretation of a whale being harpooned by a man yelling

I was hooting when @pinchjournal.bsky.social accepted my story for publication, but now that I’ve seen all the other great writing & art in here, I’m just straight-up hollering. Coming out in April! #PinchSpring25

Really, dude walking the greenline while making sales calls. You think the phrase β€œpower management” is compelling? Management is already an empty concept. Adding power as a descriptor doesn’t fix the problem.
