Next Monday, on the invitation of @tschfflr, at 16:00 c.t., I will give a lecture at #RUB on „#Writing with #GenerativeAI“ and explain why LLMs do not „write“ but „output“ text. The talk will be in German, if you want to join
#writerscoffeeclub#writing 24. Is there any work of fiction you could have written better? Don't be shy.
I have read lots of AO3 fiction, potboilers, and pulp from the 30 through 70. I think I can say that much of it I could have done a better job. Do I remember names? No,
Is there any work of fiction you could have written better? Don't be shy.
What, apart from seasons 7 & 8 of Game of Thrones? 😆
I’ve read quite a few books in my time, and some of them weren’t especially well-written. Others were, but I still find a few bits here and there that could stand a bit of revision. I’ve been re-reading Eddings’ Belgariad series to my youngest lately, and while I think it was quite well written overall, I came across a few passages last night that stood out to me as a little ‘clunky’ in the prose – I definitely feel I could have done those parts better!
hand-me-down threadbare heirlooms
of common sense and stock phrases
well intentioned tools to short-circuit
critical thoughts
as if we're afraid to be asked or ask
questions we have to think about
too scared to admit we don't know
and that not knowing is default human
but even more afraid to say the clean thing -
not having time to try to find out
is what left us for dead
before we rose, zombie

Not much interferes with my writing unless I allow it.
That’s the place in which I find myself at this point in my life. Writing is my cub & I’m a mama bear.
There are daily chores, like cleaning, cooking, or sometimes shopping. Beyond that, some activities that I participate in, like walking, serve my writing. Others—& really, this is true of life in general—it’s all material my writing feeds upon.
The fifth chapter of Stardust: Labyrinth is out! Horrifying event after horrifying event happens as the five tries to find their way back after the fourth chapter's incident, threatening to derail the expedition completely. Will they manage to regain their bearings?
The mushroom ring was drawn in chalk, so I'd thought nothing of it...
As the fae realm drew me in, I tried to remember - was it just local fairy food that I needed to avoid? Was the lunch in my bag safe since I'd brought it with me?
"It worked! It's a human!" exclaimed an excited pixie.
"They-them, please," I blurted instinctively.
"They're a human! Humans exist!"
"Ugh, you won the bet, now let's send them back..." grumped an elf.
#WordWeavers 23/5: Are your MCs picky about where they sleep?
Both Jerya and Rodal grew up in a village where they slept on platforms carved from solid rock with only a thin pad stuffed with goat-hair for a mattress. And crossing the mountains they (and Railu) slept under a tarpaulin on whatever bit of vaguely smooth and level ground they could find. so, no, they’re not picky. #writingCommunity#ThreeKindsofNorth#TheSunderingWall#VowsAndWatersheds#writing#books
I have so many short story ideas, but I write only the first paragraph and just can't continue, yet the entire story is sitting there in my head anxious to come out. Because I've thought so much about the story that I know how it starts, how it ends, who the main characters are, but I can't get it out of my head..... Not sure how to get out of this state. It's been going for about a month now 😭
#PennedPossibilities 323 — What's a piece of advice for writers that you listened to and are glad for?
An Australian author, Lucy Sussex, told us at Clarion West 1998 to be shameless in promoting ourselves. Being a shy person, networking and promotion has been a heavy lift, but I'm working on it and I know it's going to help. Mastodon: ☑️
Hier sind die gesammelten Phantastik Prompts für Mai 2024.
Das meiste befasst sich mit meinem SciFi WIP Star Ryde. Hin und wieder gibt mein WIP SciFi Parodie Galaxy Glyde. Und dann natürlich die, die sich mit dem Schreiben an sich befassen.

Was würdest du im Zweifel eher ändern, das Ende, auf das deine Geschichte hinläuft, oder den Weg, den die Figuren nehmen? Warum?
Theoretisch das Ende, the path not taken, führt manchmal zum gleichen Ende aber wie wir es vom Butterfly Effect wissen oder jeder halbwegs bekannten Zeitreise Story, können kleinste Änderungen ein komplett anderes Ende bewirken. Somit kann ich das Ende oft einfacher ändern als den Weg.
