IT HAPPENED: AN AI WROTE A STORY “GOOD” ENOUGH TO FOOL AN EDITOR
I had predicted that the first time a large language model would generate a good enough short story to fool an editor into not only thinking it human-written but also buying it, the genre would be one of the formulaic ones where very specific rules generate a standardizable product, Harlequin-style romance or cozy mystery, for example. I figured that speculative fiction would be the toughest nut to crack because there weren’t strict rules. I was wrong.Today, in the email sent to free-tier subscr
Sophia Jane Hayden, AuthorThere's a pop-up window on my website, sophiajanehayden.com, where you can get a link to a PDF of The Story of Rockit by joining my email list. It's a short children's tale. Rockit is an adorable Australian herder pup with big dreams of herding cattle like her famous grandfather, Mick. But when she is adopted into a California home, she's met with two mean cats and a couple of elderly, very slow-moving tortoises, Herman and his wife, Morticia, in the backyard. It seems her dreams of being a herder have been dashed. But are they? Wise old Herman, who has lived for 105 years, tells Rockit never to give up on her dreams. #story #shortStory #storytelling #scribesAndMakers #mastodon #bookstodon #bookTok #wednesday #writingCommunity #writing #writer #writers #kids #childrensbooks #stories #cartoons #cartoon #tales #tale #animal #readingCommunity #readersofmastodon #reading #readers #fun #cute #cuteanimals #cuteanimal #sweet #dog #dogs #tortoise #catNews #cat #authorLife #authors #author #authorsOfMastodon #email #website
Rich RubinI also had a chat with my #editor today. I figure I’ve got 12 chapters to write to get me 90% done. That’s actually where the most action, don’t want to spoil it too much, but critical things happen once I write the next 12 chapters. From there, maybe 5 + epilogue. Those are what I’m most excited to write, but have to get there first. #writingcommunity #authorsofmastodon
I did something today I swore I’d never do as an #author . I started outlining my next book while I’m not done writing my #WIP . 😬 it’s unrelated to the one I’m working on. I’m returning to my cast of characters from 2 previous books. It started with Tyler in My New Roommate. Got so much great feedback on my character of Lauren that I gave her a book, The Challenges of Being Me. Now it’s time for April’s book, as she was the “new roommate” originally. #writingcommunity #authorsofmastodon

EmmalenaLEllisToday, just over 4 years after the ebook and hardback edition was released by Burton Mayers Books; the audiobook of Ginsterpigs is now available to buy. Find it on Amazon, Audible now with Apple Books and Spotify coming real soon!
If you enjoy slice of life comedy romances, and enjoy the whimsy of stories like “Four Weddings and a Funeral” or “Notting Hill” or resonate with the confusion of navigating a mid life crisis, this could be the new book for you. Fully narrated by Tom Pridham, cinematogopher - https://m.imdb.com/name/nm1261331/ a Kent native whose rich background and strong narration bring the world of Cockescanslanky to life.
This project has been a labour of love and persistence, so if you enjoy it please could you spare me a 5/5 review? I’d love to hear what you think. Thank you :)

THEY THINK OF US AS NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS
A Wired Magazine article today did something interesting. It started with a tech premise, that the important work in tech in the AI era is deciding how to use code, not in doing the coding itself, and then bridged from that to admiration for humans who act in an “agentic” fashion. Here is how one of the tech bros they quoted described the new worldview: “…you genuinely, unironically believe there are two kinds of people in the world: the NPCs and the main characters, and you’re one of the main c
