Went for a walk today in Yerevan, Armenia! Loving it here!

Thereโ€™s lots of traffic and high rise buildings, but still a lot of good views for nature.

Team Kentucky Storm Relief Fund

itโ€™s been a long day for many people here in my small town, and itโ€™s going to be rough days ahead. ๐Ÿ’”

most donations are happening in person, so if anyone would like to donate in order to help my community in anyway- hereโ€™s a link. ๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿค

iโ€™m in disbelief still.

Iโ€™m not tired of her, I just think sheโ€™s one of those characters you feel suspicious of, especially at the end of the book when sheโ€™s spying on Egwene and Rand.

Or it just might be me getting her entirely wrong ๐Ÿ˜‚

Using AI is basically crossing a digital picket line, and treating authors who use it like scabs feels appropriate.
If you care about your rights and the rights of other creatives, you don't use generative AI under any circumstances (marketing, editing, drafting, outlining, artwork, narration, etc.)

Officially finished the first book of the Wheel of Time!! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Iโ€™d easily rate it a 10/10. Great storyline so far, though a lot of cliff hangers - as I expected. Iโ€™m still weary of Moiraine Sedai and her intentions with Rand, but Iโ€™m also super excited to learn more about Perrinโ€™s power.

Iโ€™ve seen two authors post about being done with publishing this week and it breaks my heart. And I know Iโ€™ve certainly been struggling to sell books with everything of late - most of us have.

So please, if youโ€™d like, tell us about your book in this thread and letโ€™s get some traction going! โฌ‡๏ธ

Rebeccaโ€™s Guide to Handling Upsetting Reviews:

1. Get ice cream.
2. Search your FAVOURITE book of ALL TIME and read its one star reviews.
3. Put things into perspective.
4. Deep breaths.
5. Go back to writing and IGNORE.

We all get 1โญ๏ธs. Even my dear and beloved Tolkien. ๐Ÿ’œ

If you REPEATEDLY have to address the same exact thing about how you feel and nothing changes, understand they don't respect you.

My dad is god tier at this. He approached a coach at one of my sonโ€™s local bball tourneysโ€ฆ โ€œDave Bonner, nice to meet you. You know, my oldest son won two nba championships?
