McCowan describes how AI might fail to recognize that an author is deliberately using choppy, stilted sentences to show a character’s emotional distress. “AI sees those as errors. A human editor sees the intention.”

Please consider getting a library card, even if you don’t use it much. Cities look at those numbers, and they help keep libraries open, funded properly, and safe from budget cuts.

With over 130 reviews on Reedsy and counting, it's fair to say that my editorial services are well-vetted.

[Harrison Demchick 🐀 @HDemchick]

This is accurate. The first steps of writing a new story can be so invigorating, they fuel you through the more difficult later parts of the process.

It's hard to believe this pitch to the Baltimore Rock Opera Society was nearly 14 years ago.

If you could go back in time and give yourself some other creative passion rather than writing, would you?

What are you writing today?

[Harrison Demchick 🐀 @HDemchick]

Causation is fundamental in character-driven literary fiction too, but it doesn’t look the same. It’s subtler. It’s quieter. And we editors need to be precise in defining how the mechanics of plot relate to literary fiction as well.

Please stop. I don’t want an AI summary of my Google search. I don’t want an AI summary of the text message from my friend at work. I don’t want an AI summary of the email I’m about to read. Please just stop.

While writing every day is generally seen as the best approach, writing in intense bursts is valid as well. What matters is the end result. How you got there will vary from author to author - and that's okay. Don't compare yourself to others. Instead, find what works best for you

Can we normalize writers who go weeks without writing a single word and then suddenly write like their life depends on it?

Even all these years later, this song resonates.

"Don't Dream It's Over" was written by Neil Finn in just one day, sitting at his brother Tim Finn's piano. He was in a bad mood and feeling antisocial because drummer Paul Hester had filled the guest house, he wanted to be alone and ended up isolating himself on the piano.

I wrote my novel especially for you.
