When did ‘Did you use AI?’ become the new ‘Did you cheat?’ in writing? I take a look at how authorship accusations are replacing genuine critique. 👉 http://ridleypark.blog/2025/11/12/cross-post-confused-ai-authorship/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=social

Good day!

Wow, did I oversleep. That’s what pushing myself too hard does.

That, and trying to, yet again, see the Northern Lights. So, I was outside late.

Thanks to clouds moving over, what I saw was the Northern Tint, basically clouds becoming slightly tinted. ☹️

Be everwell.

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Imposter Syndrome Crisis

As a runner who dabbles in long distances of the double digit kind, my resting heart rate sits at about 45-50 beats per minute on any given day.

An embarrasingly nice review of my #WIP 😊

The Last Philosopher is a satirical high-sci--fantasy story with heavy-handed attempts at humour.

This morning I heard that the Jonas Brothers are starting in an upcoming Christmas movie, whose tagline is “Let it bro, let it bro, let it bro.”

I’ll take this time to remind you I haven’t sold a word of writing, the very worst of which never got anywhere near that bad.

Good day!

This month is moving too fast, or I’m moving too slow? Does this equation somehow end up equaling coffee? ☕️

At least I’m up & awake, unlike my feline counterpart. 😺

Maybe I’m going mad? Yesterday, Amazon sent me an ad urging me to purchase—my own book. 🤔

Be everwell.

Good day!

I’m really struggling to wake up this morning…

Meanwhile, Evie Cat is still snoozing.

It’s raining, but supposedly will clear for my walk. The day is straightforward, to work on the novel scan for Book6. I’ll pass the halfway point today.

Be everwell.

Wow. Sticking snow all ready. 😯😒

Show thread

Christina Anne Hawthorne 5d ago

@Uncleharvey Yup, but only at the higher elevations. There’s no snow in the city, but when I survey the surrounding mountains, about a third of them have snow. ❄️

@CA_Hawthorne
Oh good
Being NOT at higher elevations, I'm sorta relieved. But they ARE talking of the temps dropping into the 20s this Sunday/Monday. So, snow is a possibility here if it continues to threaten rain. 🥴

@Uncleharvey Then you’ll be colder than here. We’re supposed to warm into the 50s, lows in the 30s. We’ve had snow in the air, but it hasn’t accumulated. 🌨️❄️☃️🥶

If you get snow, I think you’re contractually obligated to put up a Christmas tree. 🎄

We’re at about 3,300 feet here, but it doesn’t get nearly as cold as people assume. The picture was taken at nearly 6,000 feet.

Stay warm, regardless! 🔥

Not sure about a tree. Though the wife will probably agree.🤔
Making a snow angel, though, would definitely be required. 👌😁
