I haven’t been able to write or edit since my horse died. My concentration and creativity have evaporated. Hoping they come back soon.🥲

Ah, the age old question:

Is this a person I’m interacting with or a bot?

Packing up and costuming for today’s book sales at a Renaissance Faire. Pictures later…😊

#WordWeavers: Do you mention makeup, hair, and beard styles in your work?

Not makeup: the humans have limited resources and the star beings don’t use makeup. But due to few resources, there are enforced limits on humans’ hair length. Atsushi & Girak both press their luck with this, using their higher genetic ratings to get away with it. Atsushi has medium length hair, & Girak, who loves history, has a beard. Hair styles with the star beings are related to whether or not they’re Crowned.

#WordWeavers : MC POV: You realize you’re a book character. What do you do?

Rana: Well, yeah, I gave her the whole story idea in a dream. Always knew she’d write it. But that also means I existed before the book, so perhaps you authors are the ones who need to reconsider things? *Knowing laughter*

Savas: *Smirks* Oh, we’ve all known for years. She’s writing my asshole phase right now. It’s embarrassing, looking back at how I acted, but it’s important to the story, so…*shrugs*

nostr:npub1k74466y2tpe60apupsjv2cttajs72wyjs43mdca8xvkjf9nytmxqh8dmux Same was said when people started to pirate Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro...

nostr:npub1cldaxzevx8u7sfmgj9dx2c458vhrm73c7zw7jyzhda3k3h5w9pyqa2c7dy Yes, but this is on a different level because anyone can do it, not just people with photoshop skills.

nostr:npub1k74466y2tpe60apupsjv2cttajs72wyjs43mdca8xvkjf9nytmxqh8dmux That was the case before AI stormed the market. Postprocessing was prevalent - sometimes subtle, sometimes less subtle. There's a lot of non-AI pics that started as photographs, yet they aren't real.

nostr:npub1cldaxzevx8u7sfmgj9dx2c458vhrm73c7zw7jyzhda3k3h5w9pyqa2c7dy Yes, but now its so much more common, don’t you think?
