Here's the news you might have been waiting for! I promised that Snakebitten would be coming this year. Don't miss the dramatic conclusion to the series: it's time to face the Scáthanna's enemy... and Kaja will only have her wits as a weapon!

You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction. I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

@GaneshsX When you use a brush, be it traditional or digital, you hold and control the brush. When you use AI, you tell a machine to hold a brush. You do nothing. Your creativity is limited to typing words. If you commission artwork, you aren't the artist. You just commissioned it from AI.

@LigerLlama It wasn't the point of the post. The point was that AI is being created to take over tasks that people enjoy leaving them with the ones they don't, instead of doing the opposite. If you need another example, I'd rather have an AI do my bookkeeping and taxes than art & writing.

In Polish, we say "book moth". Do you know any other fun names? Which one do you like the most? (Yes, I'm sad that "book dragon" doesn't seem to exist in any language as a term for a reader.)

They darted into the air, beating their wings in desperation before the storm hit them. It was the first time we saw dragons fleeing. #FP

My three things to start my writing process: 1. Tea. LOTS OF TEA. 2. Guilt trip I'm not writing. 3. Procrastinating by re-reading the already written parts that I love. :) I was tagged by @AuthorSheri . Tagging @LucyJayneB , @JR_Bee101 , @JMorgynWhite , and @marszowickie .

Alice stretched her hand a little bit further and finally managed to pull out the last treasure. Right from the depths of a cookie jar. #FP

#ThursdayAesthetic Meet Kaja, the protagonist of my contemporary fantasy. Since I set the novel in Dublin, I let her have things in common with me: she's a Polish immigrant and a gamer. But she's also a charm/amulet crafter and suffers from an affliction that might kill her.

How to get things done when you don't want to: - Make a list of tasks. - Choose a random task. - Think: I don't feel like doing it. - Procrastinate by doing another task from the list. - Repeat until the last one. - Force yourself to do the last task. You can do ONE thing, right?

Thorkassian Emissary grimaced. "Only humans could be so stupid to invent the idea of measuring time. And they're still late." #FP

#Inktober reminds me that I can’t really draw, and lack of practice doesn’t help. Neither does picking a theme that requires drawing hands & other body parts. But here it is, my 1st witch. Today’s theme was “ring”, but I’m not sure if it’s visible enough. #Inktober2019 #31witches

Today is Alien Day! Are you fan of the movies? I'm usually not into horrors, but a good scifi horror is always a treat. I loved the second one the most, but I enjoy watching all four.

If an ebook you had a library hold on just arrived, is it ok to cancel everything else for today and just start reading? Asking, of course, for a friend. #readerscommunity #readingtime

"This pen will write all the stories for you!" said the shopkeeper. It did. And she never wrote a word again: it stole her creativity. #FP

The wolf sniffs the air and lets the wind tell it of the forest. A promise of freedom... tainted with the scent of a human. #FP

I wrote a bit in the morning, but it wasn't flowing, so I decided to switch gears and do some learning instead. Well, all I can tell you is that I got into some really deep waters outside of my comfort zone. But I'm floating, so that's something.
