@AristaeH Sometimes characters try to keep secrets but we ferret them out 🕵️

What’s something your antagonist really wants? Will they get it?

I stumbled across a post by someone who generates their books with AI and they were asking why it's so wrong when they still come up with the ideas and basically still edit and direct the story. And I was going to reply the usual, that AI steals words, sometime verbatim, from books whose authors never consented to their work being scraped. And while that's a really good moral reason to avoid it, I think the better reason is simply that you are cheating yourself.

We all started in a place where we have ideas we aren't capable of creating yet. (This goes for artists too). Figuring out how to do those ideas justice is the entire point. Forging a tapestry, word by word. Getting better with every new story. Learning from those who came before us. The act of writing IS the joy. The end result is the icing.

There’s a reason the great dystopian novels envision a world without literacy. Those books warned about the very age we’re now living in. Those who abandon reading & writing are surrendering their powers of thinking. What’s shocking is that so many would surrender so readily.

@AristaeH These are all such good motivations and so varied 👏

[Write for Life @WriteforLife6]

@authoradraeanna Ohhh I love this kind of tension!

[Erin Blackwood | Christian dystopian fiction @once_darkness]

For the longest time I was a solitary writer. I had no idea of others reading my work, & I had no friends or community to encourage, motivate, & learn from. Having that now is beyond my wildest dreams & I'm so grateful

You write on your own but you're not meant to write *alone*

[Write for Life @WriteforLife6]

Writing is hard! You pour your heart and soul into your work. So much time. So much passion. Critique can sting, but learning what is useful for you to take away for improvement, & throwing away the bad, is a skill that'll serve you well!
