Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.

[lokischocolatefountain]

people going on in the replies like “i just use it for spell check” and “I just use it for sentence structure” and “i just use it for research” baby no all those things are writing. writing isn’t just the act of typing words into the word processor. it’s everything from daydreaming about the plot to editing what you’ve already written. outsourcing these steps to ai means you lose valuable parts of the writing experience that’ll help you make your work better.

google stuff for background research. reread your chapter to find spelling errors. you’ll find other things along the way when you reread your work. you’ll get new ideas that’ll change the entire trajectory of the story. it’s worth it i promise!

get feedback from fandom friends if you’re writing fanfic. start dming people who are interested in the same character. like the way someone writes your fave? go talk to them! they won’t eat you i promise. you can also reach out to writers writing original works.

i don’t even get ai results when i google stuff anymore and it’s all thanks to this:

quirky fourth wall breaking character but theyre just fucking. wrong about the medium theyre in. they keep making references to cinematic techniques and directorial styles and the other fourth wall breaking character is like "dumbass we're in a fucking comic book" and they are in a video game.

Well currently they’re in a tumblr post but I see your point

Senator Lindsey Graham

Dead at 71

Announced across all US news media outlets about 20ish minutes ago

[mossy-cobble]

crazy how i find myself thinking i've got a handle on it all finally and then i see the ways that other people tangle their lives together so easily and live so easily together with their friends and i feel like that girl at the top of the stairs painting by norman rockwell

[mossy-cobble]

i'll always be here

I genuinely think interactive fiction is an underappreciated art form.

[barbwritesstuff]

Just to clarify. All this is interactive fiction:

IF is any storytelling wherein the storyteller has to change the narrative based on the choices of the person engaging with the story. I write both interactive and linear fiction, and while some stories are better linear, some are better interactive, and it's hard to make a story that is satisfying not just in one way, but in many.

typewriter!

[theclockworkjudas]

I love the orchestra trying and failing to maintain a straight face throughout

[silly-jellyghoty]

Exactly. These people had to rehearse at least a few times all at once yet when it's nkt their turn to play they still look at that guy with the typewriter as if he was the most fascinating thing they have ever seen.

[ironwoman359]

My husband's wind ensemble played this song when he was in high school! you can do it with normal auxillery percussion, but it's so much more fun if you do it with a real typewriter

[alexseanchai]

now that is a writing mood

[whetstonefires]

they were really like, the only reasonable approach to this piece is to insert a clown at the center of the orchestra

[iconuk01]

If you're not playing Leroy Anderson's 1953 classic "The Typewriter" with an actual typewriter on stage... why would you even BOTHER?

From wiki

According to the composer himself, as well as other musicians, the typewriter part is difficult because of how fast the typing speed is: even professional stenographers cannot do it, and only professional drummers have the necessary wrist flexibility

Guys, he’s at it again…

[valtsv]

maybe this is insensitive of me but i find it really funny that the human behavioural response to being sufficiently bored and isolated is to devise increasingly creative ways to harm our bodies and risk our lives just to have something to react to. and no small amount of innovation has been achieved this way. yeah sorry but if you don't give me enough treats and puzzles i'm going to start hurting myself for fun.

[valtsv]

"you're going to hurt yourself badly doing that" actually i'm very good at it. i've had lots of practice you see.
