@JayLongWrites Think about what that says for a moment.
It says that Barnes and Noble believe AI is capable of writing better books than Indies.

@jmgwritten Nothing worth doing is easy.

I'm wrestling with the second draft of book 3 currently. It's gone off the rails a bit...

[Jake Joy - Author @TheGrumpySensei]

@DKemeridou Fantasy - sarcastic.

@BookSpotlight If it's good enough for Pratchett...

[J.M. Goodwin @jmgwritten]

I regret to inform you that writing a book is pretty easy, actually. Worse, the lower your standards the easier it is

It's writing a GOOD book that feels like self-surgery

[Imperator Cat @CatImperator]

Have to share this

Gave me a good chuckle 🤭

[Jake Joy - Author @TheGrumpySensei]

@MichaelFKane Takes me a whole year to write a book. No Ai.
And although that's slow, at least it's mine.

Not found my readers yet, but one day...
Maybe.

First draft of 'Penultimate Dragon' is done.
Finally.
...
Now for the second draft

@SDDonovan Write the problem from the MC's POV. It often leads me to the solution.

[Jake Joy - Author @TheGrumpySensei]

Now, you watch it again. But this time, the extended editions.

[gorl @Starcaster1]

what do u nerds recommend I watch next?

[Jake Joy - Author @TheGrumpySensei]

@asnauthor Good plan.
Fingers crossed for you.

[Jake Joy - Author @TheGrumpySensei]

The thing I struggle most with as an Indie Author is not knowing what the f*** I'm doing 90% of the time.

[Jake Joy - Author @TheGrumpySensei]

@asnauthor Epiphany - A sudden, intuitive realization or flash of insight that transforms how you understand a problem or situation.
When will I know what I'm doing? lol.

[J.M. Goodwin @jmgwritten]

GM, Patriots. Please consider the following

[Jake Joy - Author @TheGrumpySensei]

@asnauthor I'm on book 3. When is the epiphany supposed to arrive?

Writing tip: Adverbs aren't evil.

They just mean you could probably use a better action verb. So, use sparingly (ah!), and check your action verb to see if you can't find something better.

Examples: said softly=murmured
Jumped deftly = vaulted

Ok bye. *Flies away*

Very much in a 'All my books are shit' mood right now.
