Is it fair to say that as an author, on social media, don't waste time looking for praise, concentrate on building a brand and finding an audience?

@MichaelTKuester It's question of knowing how a story is crafted in all aspect to do it right, or both methods will fail. True pantsters are no different than those who outline to succeed. To outline, you imagine the story and write it down in short form. A pantster simply writes it in long form

I write speculative fiction and right now I'm thinking about how economics/society is going to have to and is changing in this fast developing technological world. The way I see it is that capitalism and socialism have a sell by date, so now I'm wondering what will replace them?

Thank goodness. Amazon fighting back against AI rubbish journals and the like by limiting uploads to three after some were uploading hundreds of AI generated non-fiction books. Unfortunately, some genuine authors are getting books blocked after checks by bots and have to appeal

Authors, be honest, how many of you have used AI Grock or similar as a tool for research on subjects for your book.

Beware. The similarities between computers & human beings include their ability to process information, store memory, perform tasks, and learn. The way AI quantum computers are progressing just means they are more efficient at those four and they calculate at the speed of light.

To all authors, what's the biggest regret you've had on finishing a draft with hindsight when you edit? #authors #retweet

Been hovering between 2968 and 2970 for over a month. No sooner do I get to 2970 and think, yay I'm on my may to 3000, than I lose a few. Do you think it's something I've could have said?

Damn, I can't help myself. Only wanted to write a 45k story to create as an audiobook (4hrs).for my YT channel and not to publish on Zon, but I'm 45k in and only just hit the midpoint. Best laid plans and all that, lol.

Opposition to AI in any form could be likened To King Canute ordering the tide to turn. In researching quantum computing for my WIP and the multiple mega companies investing in this AI, there will be no stopping its progress and disruption to markets and creativity. Search YT.

Putin knows he's running out of time at home. He knows he's finished, and it's likely he's determined to go out with a bang. Why else would he bomb a Bristish and US property in Ukraine and now send drones over Poland. He's goading NATO into a fight . What do you think

Is the trend of agents in seeking unrepresented minority authors as a result of fairness in publishing, or do you think it's to avoid the need for expensive sensitivity reader editors brought in to check on authenticity of the character's cultural traits in the story?

I'm mostly someone who replies to posts, rather make posts. On my profile page, it says I've had 1.2k impressions this week. How does that compare to you, and do you mainly post tweets or replies?

In my espionage/post apocalyptic WIP, I have congress and the senate pass a law at the president's request to make it illegal to be paid protesters with a 5yrs prison term. Do you think this would fly with what's in the constitution.
