Many villages across the UK have repurposed iconic red telephone boxes into tiny community libraries, where you can take a book and leave one for someone else to enjoy too if you want to

I used to get nagged nonstop by my husband for buying two robot vacuums.
Now he’s gone and turned them straight into tanks 🙂

"There are books that one reads over and over again, books that become part of the furniture of one's mind and alter one's whole attitude to life..." - Orwell

[Casey West - Author @DollyT222027]

I'm seeing more people say that AI won't replace writers, but it will replace editors.

Let's set the record straight. AI is a bad editor. VERY bad. It is not accurate, dependable, balanced, or unbiased.

Are there bad human editors? Of course. Is there a good AI editor? Not unless you're writing for AI to enjoy your work (and also want AI companies to steal and train on your intellectual property.)

It's not worth the money you'll save. It will make your work boring and generic. It will not preserve your voice. It rarely even gets grammar and basic style rules right (source: I worked at an AI company at one time). It will suggest "edits" that are actually just exact copies of your fellow authors' work.

Do not resolve your frustration with the editing industry by relying on an extremely flawed tool created by companies that have zero concern for copyright, intellectual property, and creativity.

Writers will not move forward by disrespecting and disregarding the work of good editors.

[Harold Wilson Author @H_Wilson_Author]

People have no idea how much work goes into writing a book.
Months, sometimes years, of thinking, rewriting, doubting, & starting over.
If a book moved you, show it. Rate it. Write a review. Share it. Recommend it.
And if you can, buy it.

“Read everything... but remember: a book is only a book. You must learn to think for yourself.”

I’m sorry but the future belongs to those who read widely, who are able to write without the assistance of a machine, who haven’t allowed endless slop to kill their curiosity and cognitive abilities. Excess tech is going to melt many brains. Yours doesn’t need to be one of them.
