I've been looking at the language #AI and so far, they don't compete with a human #writing #fiction. Somehow the algorithm has picked up a style that's even more 'purple prose' than my own, and it's not every so readable. I wonder why that is.
Happy to have done the #SouthamBookFestival today and to have met lovely fellow authors. No nastiness at all about me wearing a #mask. Though I was the only one.
If authors write their novel in the present tense, they risk losing readership in a way they wouldn't with the past tense. As a reader, I generally skip those after the 'look inside'. I wonder why some people choose to write in this tense.

I write YA fiction with a touch of the supernatural. The climate crisis is a feature. I should be writing the third book in the #IceCooper series, but I feel the end of the world is overtaking me.

What is likely to be a more popular freebie for children at a book festival? Stickers or a small colouring book?
