So I'm starting my first round of developmental edits on my book. So far half of my notes include "add more description and scene setting." At least I'm aware of the problem, I guess, πŸ˜… I'll keep working on it.

Are you a plotter or a pantser? I’m a plantser. I do both. Sometimes the words just come to mind and I can write a scene without a plan. But for a novel, I have found that an outline keeps me on track. My brain likes to plan with a pen and paper. My notebooks are pure chaos though. πŸ˜‚What about you?

So, in light of even more discussion about smut in books, I want to share some history and my thoughts on it. For me personally, it's not a deal breaker either way. So here's a blog post I wrote on the subject. TLDR: Let people enjoy things! emithecatladyreads.blogspot.com/2025/02/hist...

I've often thought about writing a dystopian novel. But I can't top what's actually happening right now. We're living in the worst timeline. #dystopia

I get you. You do learn to understand their language, for sure.

After 15 years as a vet and cat owner, I have learned that cats can always be counted on to do odd things for reasons entirely their own. I love this.

Almost 7k words into draft 2 of my Fantasy WIP today. I am enjoying the character development of my FMC. It's nice to find the joy in writing again. #author #authorsky #writing

If plants were effective, medicine would already be using them like we do with aspirin, digitalis and poppies. Sending hugs, and I am more than happy to lecture these people about giving unsolicited medical advice when they are not doctors. πŸ«‚

I'm working on my YouTube content today. I just want to say how fun it's been to research everything. I've learned so much about all kinds of creatures. Anyone got any weird animal facts to share? #fallout #youtube #animals

I'm finally about to start draft 2 of my fantasy novel. I think it's going to end up being a trilogy πŸ€” I'll write it and see what it looks like. I'm equally excited and scared. #author πŸ“š

It's definitely a pillow fort kind of day here. I have editing to do though. Miss Echo knows how to be comfortable. Psyduck is a paid actor. πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ“š#cats #authorlife

Absolutely. They'll find all the loopholes they can to get around the laws. This stuff needs to be better regulated, but I agree the damage is probably already done. Bolting the stable door after the horse has run off comes to mind.

Very true. They're finding it harder in the UK because of our data protection laws. They must give us the choice to opt out. Doesn't stop them from making it difficult to do. I had to write an essay to Meta explaining why I want my intellectual property to stay mine. It's concerning 😟

I am so sick of ads for gen AI. It is everywhere and I keep blocking the ads on Google. Like, take the hint! YouTube gets points for making the option to use your content to train AI an opt-in instead of a sneaky hidden option you need to go through 5 menus to opt out of it. It's something.
