It appears someone on Twitter wants to impersonate me at some point. They have made an account with MY mastodon handle in the name. I've reported it immediately. Now let's wait and see how long it takes for Twixt to take this account down.

The Atlantic catches up on "The Wrath of #Goodreads" (review-bombing and pileons and "reviewers" who don't read the books they review--a toxic culture that's old news to anyone who has spent time there) #WritingCommunity #Reading #BookReviews https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/07/goodreads-review-bombing-amazon-moderation/674811/

TikTok's New Publishing House Feels Familiar And Not in a Good Way

The power wielded by the collective reader communities of BookTok is catching the eye of TikTok itself, and they want some of it. In April of this year, TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, filed a trademark with the US Patent Office for a new publisher named 8TH NOTE PRESS,

Do we need more publishing ventures that elevate and enrich celebrities and influencers? Bindery thinks so: it's a new publisher planning to launch a series of imprints helmed by social media "tastemakers" #WritingCommunity #Publishing https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/92795-a-new-startup-proposes-influencer-driven-publishing.html

A #dragon asking his son to tell stories about him...

“That’s up to you, Korakos. It’s your story. But, if we do fight the sand thing? Just make sure we win, alright?”

Korakos only smiled up at him, love and pride filling his eyes. “You’ll always win in my stories, Father.”

Revaramek hugged him tightly, finally giving into the sobs he’d been battling all along. “Then…” He struggled for words, tears pouring down his muzzle. “Then I know we’ll be just fine.”

If you've gotten a surprise representation offer email from Chaucer's Literary and Talent Bureau, #WriterBeware : it's a scam. False claims of books repped; 1st-name-only "agents" are stock photos, and its web domain is less than 5 months old (despite its claim to have started up 7 years ago) #WritingCommunity #amwriting #Publishing #PublishingScams https://clatb.org/

Well, I guess it's no more Google Docs,etc for me anymore... Anyone know of a good Android app that keeps your text, etc. really private without AI programs having access to it for "training purposes"?

Google confirms it’s training AI using scraped web data

Google’s updated privacy policy now specifies that it may use “publicly available information” scraped from the web to train and create new AI products and features.

How are you all doing, #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfMastodon ? Are you participating in #NaNoWriMo #CampJuly this month?

I have set a lower goal, 25k words, for this month. Yesterday I wrote almost 1k words. I hope to be able to write about 500 more tonight.

Let me know how you are doing this #NaNoWriMo2023! What is your goal? What project are you working on? Is there any help you need from other writers?

Good luck and may you reach your goals!

I just found this website created by @tha_rami, https://isthisarabic.com/. I think it's not only important to #gamedev, but also to #AuthorsOfTwitter and other #worldbuilding creative people who want to include Arabic (or mention thereof, or similar ConLang) in their project.
Help, is this Arabic?

For some reason, you're in charge of implementing Arabic into your project, but you don't know Arabic. Now what?
