Near to an hour's research for the sentence:

"As Arthur took in the red-brick facade, the mullioned windows and the sandstone quoining, he felt the reality of his current situation hit him."

In the end Rice's Language of Buildings saved me 😆 #writingcommunity #author #wip

Digital ID cards will make it tougher to work in UK illegally, says Keir Starmer The prime minister says Labour has shied away from illegal immigration concerns, but says the new ID will make

I have this in my near-future dystopian novel [The Future King]. They call them B.I.D.s (Biometric Identity Cards)

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

God that sounds like an exact science!

Happens annoyingly often, the window is small 🙃

Oh no I missed my fall asleep window and now all the ideas are buzzing and the internal monologues are running and the off button is not offing 🫠

A BBC News article proclaiming that “thousands (are) talking part in ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally and counter protest.

Don’t recall BBC News leading with any of the myriad marches for Palestine, #PeoplesVote or #Rejoin. How very odd. How very strange. How very expected.

😆 the second option will probably be most effective

Mostly angry with myself. Every time someone does this (even when salmonella is not involved) it makes me incredibly uncomfortable and I promise myself I won't let it happen again but it always does

They're always so quick about it, it's like they consider it a sport. And then you're left feeling furious and fighting your ingrained politeness while you fail to tell them to fuck off.

Why do people do this? You're telling me you were with your grandbaby yesterday who now has salmonella and then you go and rub your hands over the face of my child while you're talking at me and they're in the pram? Why would you?

Already done this except the double sided, I use the space on the back of the page for rewrites ☺️

Sharing is caring 😆

but taking a red pen to the printed page is so immensely satisfying #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity

After watching my 680 A4-page manuscript shoot out the printer I'm thinking perhaps I should have edited it harder on the laptop first... #writingcommunity #booktok #authorlife

Yeah I’m probably going to. Trying not to go into full edit mode and save it for my own book instead 😆

I hope so! Certainly more encouraging than that other possibility 😆

I feel this ARC read I'm on at the moment should really be an Alpha or a Beta... do I just review or do I let the author know about the inconsistencies I've found? #writingcommunity #authorsky 💙📚

When you see someone's read one page of your book on Kindle then given up 😅 Hope they're saving the rest for later? #writingcommunity #authors 💙📚

Now ARC reading an Arthurian retelling where the author didn't use Google to check their heraldic colours; 'white' is in fact 'silver' (argent), and 'yellow' would be 'gold' (or) - red and white (Lancelot) and red and silver (some other knight) would be the same colour arms 🫠 #writingcommunity

Not historical as such but recently read a book where the protagonist stitched up a wound and then cauterised it I guess melting flesh into stitches

Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.
