Is it possible that I am teaching myself this #ragtime song because I wrote a #scifi story about an immortal who loves him some Scott Joplin? Yes, yes it is. Hope you enjoy the first third of Maple Leaf Rag. #piano #scifibooks #debutnovel #hopepunk #writing #writingcommunity #music #nanowrimo

🤔 I think I know what the basic plot of the story I will work on for NaNoWriMo will be. I just need to think up a first line. #WritingCommunity

Believe in yourself.
Start that book or short story.
Finish your WIP or your book of poems.
Don't give up.

Welp, #NaNoWriMo can officially go fuck itself. It's sponsoring a workshop that uses an "AI-powered writing assistant."

When an initiative intended to foster creativity embraces the very antithesis of creativity, it's time to take it out behind the barn and end its misery.
