If an editor uses AI to edit my no-AI new manuscript, does that mean my "copyrighted" content will be fed to a chat bot & become its training fodder?
And when I publish my book, what percentage of it will I have to declare as AI generated?
Are there editors out there who don't use use ai?
Matriarchs of old handed down to me their ancestral blood-magic and fated me to distill a meaning of our daily strife. Bedeviled by it, I prick my heart with the tip of a quill to fill blank pages with dreamlike ponderings, offering naught but an escape, or a vision of what could be... For there glimmers a freeing light in every heartfelt mindscape on the moonlit path.
Here's to Women Elevating Women ♀️
To all badass matriarchs out there:
Thank You!

The cover has a light blue background tinge. Centered in the upper third is the title and underneath is the author. The illustrators name is centered in the lower one-sixth. In the middle is Stuart, dressed in a red shirt and yellow shorts. He's steering a canoe down a stream. There are various green plants in circled around the canoe, but Stuart and the canoe are center stage.

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

As fiction writers, our works fulfill a collective need to, at times, escape reality, while launching alternate perspectives into the universe.
To all indie artists out there, keep up the great work!

As a reputed fortuneteller, I totally saw that coming 😄
It's #FriYay and I'm in procrastination mode.
I've written a Prologue, a Part I intro, and "Chapter I"
but, rather than stare at the blank space beneath that, I decided to do some housekeeping chores and discovered that I was a Brilliant Fortune Teller in the Roman Empire 🙃

Love this film 💙

We should also look at disrupting the narrative fed to us as inevitable with technology whose agenda is friendlier to the environment and more humanitarian.

I did the thing! I emailed, cold, the author of a book I liked to tell them it was good, and to say thanks. Know what? That's a good idea. You were all correct. Everyone should do that.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

That's why connecting with an audience comprised of supernatural 'someones' has been my goal for some time now. I can see that to stay afloat in 2026 I must continue focusing on in-person events, where real readers can be met... So here's to us, meeting at a venue near you, soon!
If it means my work can't reach wider audiences, so be it, I'll always feel most at home telling stories from a realm somewhere between the everyday & the supernatural, creating escapes from the day-to-day without conforming to the status quo, which means my books may not be for 'everyone.'
As indie authors dealing with waves of AI & pay-to-play algorithms, it’s critical that we keep sharing what’s in our hearts. Let's encourage each other to keep creating & never give up. Doing so would be like giving up on ourselves, and I can't imagine having a voice & choosing not to use it. #NoAI
