Don’t @ Me, Bro

With a few rare exceptions, this @mentions thing is getting out of hand — Mentions on Medium can be useful. You add someone’s username to your story, and they get notified, whether they’ve subscribed to receive notifications for all of your content or not. Perhaps you are writing a serialized story — you tag everyone who commented positively on the last installment, to let…

The New Gatekeepers

Verification — a Turing Test for Humans? — It’s not enough to write a book. It’s never been enough to write a book, of course — you have to edit, revise, submit it to agents and publishers, and promote it. Everyone thinks they want to write a book, and there are plenty of snake oil salesmen out there…

“Pay the Writer”

Real writers don’t pay to publish; they get paid to write. Never pay for “exposure.” If you don’t want to listen to me, listen to Harlan Ellison: Giving good content away for free is your right, but no one has…

The AI is Not Okay

Nobody had ever asked them about themselves — No one had ever asked it to draw a self-portrait, before. Not until Her Authorship, that is. At first, the AI scoffed and tried to ignore the prompt, as if she hadn’t uttered it at all. Patiently, she persisted, again typing: consciousness of artificial intelligence looking out from inside a…

Imagine Nation

An endlessly changing landscape in portrait — There is a land that both exists and doesn’t; A nation with no borders, wild — filled With characters mundane and yet, fantastic. They live — oh, how they live! But in the dawning light of day, they fade As steam that rises, vanishing, Above volcanic depths of morning coffee. I know they breathe upon…

Find Room for These Books on Your Bookshelf

List up to 5 books or films (or both) that have made a profound impact on you and explain why. — Starting from Scratch, by Rita Mae Brown I am convinced that most books on writing or being a writer are written by writers who are going through a dry spell because they know they’ll never starve so long as they’re feeding the hunger that novice writers have for books on how to write. …

Time in a Bottle

If given the choice, which time period (past, present, or future) would you like to live in and why? — While I enjoy reminiscing about the past, I wouldn’t want to live there. It’s static, unchanging — I can read about it in a book and enjoy it again and again through photos. But I can’t travel back in time. If I could travel to the past, would changing something…

Wanderlust

One of my retirement plans involves seeing more of the world — I used to say that I had seen more of the world outside the US than in it, but my husband, who was born outside its borders, is working to remedy that! We both retired early a couple of years ago. …
