So let me get this straight. If I don’t want my writing to APPEAR to be AI generated I can’t
-use em dashes
-give three examples or adjective phrases in a row
-use exaggerated language
I hate to break it to you, we all write like this. WHERE DID YOU THINK AI LEARNED IT?

If you need something fun today and are in Tempe, come on out to the library! The annual book event is underway and ends at 3 this afternoon.

Had a chance to see Primate early tonight for the Harkins Secret horror movie.

If you like horror, gore, and jump scares … totally recommend.

Also kudos to whomever was responsible for the way the deaf character was represented. Very well done.

@readingwithbeth I gave up. It was too much 😂

I created a downloadable and useable Writing Journal for burnout because I needed it too! If anyone in the #writingcommunity wants the link to the resource, let me know.

@yourpaperquest I’ve been told this is my WORST:

I read series out of order 😬

[Tabatha Shipley @ShipleyTabatha]

@_Knight_writer Mine are all the totally real and not all all questionable “book clubs” who want to highlight my book when they discuss it.

Because real book clubs TOTALLY need permission (and money) to do that 🙄

[Tabatha Shipley @ShipleyTabatha]

@KT_Carlisle I’d love to do it but mostly because I love to see how things REALLY work. Unfortunately I’m afraid mystery/thriller writer might get me automatically sent home even if I got that far 😬

[Tabatha Shipley @ShipleyTabatha]

@ghosttowndownn Whew, I’m glad I opened the comments and saw you weren’t serious. 😅

[Tabatha Shipley @ShipleyTabatha]

@_Knight_writer Sometimes they’ll come back. The Zon likes to flag some for language, pull them, notify the person who posted it, and then review. I’ve had 3-4 over the years go right back up without me doing anything.

[Tabatha Shipley @ShipleyTabatha]

I should mention I do ACTUALLY offer REAL book clubs a FREE Skype call or video if they’d like that. That won’t change.

[Tabatha Shipley @ShipleyTabatha]

Getting those obnoxious “book club” spam emails?

Respond with your rate for appearing ($50 should work) and ask if they’re the person you should send the invoice to.

Gets you blocked 🤣

@emma1293 It seems too long written out like that. If you LOVE it, you could make it work with a good cover that emphasizes certain key words to make it shorter.

[Tabatha Shipley @ShipleyTabatha]

@emma1293 Of these options Pawn in the Game of Death is the one I’d be drawn too first.

[Tabatha Shipley @ShipleyTabatha]

@emma1293 Book titles are so hard for me! 😂
