@mdf365 TRUTH😄😄😄

Hey writing community. There are SO many scammers out there. Please make sure you check location of users and you'll be able to find most.

Be careful and absolutely NEVER send your manuscript to someone random on X!

@mdf365 Less of a question and more of a “hmmmmm”🧐🧐

@KingAriPress Great minds think alike! Im thinking, not writing yet, about an article called “Reverse Engineered” about how writers rely too much on advice.

[Stephanie - Publisher at King Ari Press🦁 @KingAriPress]

Thank you to all those who recently followed me.

A little about me.

I am the owner of King Ari Press
(see image of our books below).
Author of Lamplighter: Poems.

My goal: to help others rediscover the nostalgic joy of reading.

I live in CA, and I care what happens to my state.
America is 250, which makes me a Bi-Centennial baby.

Every day, I post writing tips that you can find pinned on my profile or in the highlight section.

As a writer, I leave and have random thoughts inspired by the moment...just go with it.

I believe in Jesus, and I am constantly thankful for his grace.

✍🏼After the fun part - the deep thinking, the creativity - it’s time to submit your piece for publication. Waiting for the JOURNAL EDITOR or waiting until the NOVEL feels perfectly done is playing "defense" - Instead, play offense: Reach out. Choose movement over stagnation.

@LakenBrimicombe Shhhhh! Silence.

@PJSkinnerAuthor Test readers are essential! I put my drafts through 2 rounds.

@StevenTBoers63 I go by time: I write for about 3 hrs (at a time) per weekday. Works for me.

@EthosHeretica @aimtomisb3hav3 I didn’t know you use AI for fleshing out scenes- Substack and Medium are correct in not allowing “your” writing- it isn’t yours, it’s auto generated phrasing that you’re adjusting. AI editing for grammar and spelling ok but not LLMs - it’s not creative and not yours

[Robin Riback @RibackRobin]

@EthosHeretica @aimtomisb3hav3 Yes wrong platform. Try Substack or Medium

@AuthorGFAllen Excellent top notch first rate short stories. Was thinking they’re like chocolate truffles- they are so rich that your mind fills up after just a few👍👍👍👍

[Robin Riback @RibackRobin]

@JayLongWrites I also wonder if the books will have to be clearly labeled AI, like food - contains chemicals and GMOs. I hope so. Hopefully there will be a big backlash

[Robin Riback @RibackRobin]

@jamiekwil Me too! It’s like transcribing.
