It’s my birthday, and here’s my birthday request: reach out to a writer you admire and tell them you like their work. Social media, email, whatever, just a nice little note of appreciation. Anyone living, but it can’t be me (I’m not fishing for compliments). Thanks!
The idea of using AI to complete NaNoWriMo, a challenge that has no reward or purpose beyond the experience of *doing* it, is quite simply stupid as fuck. You might as well fly a drone to the top of a mountain and call yourself a climber.

Jacob Scheier is a Governor-General’s Literary Award-winning poet. He is also immunocompromised. "The COVID-19 pandemic took that from me. Actually, that’s not quite right. It was the perceived “end” of the pandemic that really ruined my teaching career." #Covid19#GiftLink 🎁

has anyone found a good place to find beta readers where you don't have to post your work publicly? I tried scribophile but got some very weird criticisms, so i'm looking for somewhere where I might be able to target my readers a little more?
I won't post the whole thing (which is worth reading beginning to end) but goddamn. Cruel *and* journalistic malpractice.
