I have a question for you. If you could transport yourself into any fantasy romance world from a book or movie, which one would you choose and why? And no, it doesn't have to be one of mine!!! I'm feeling curious, so please indulge me!
I realized I am a tool hoarder. I loves my writing tools. Minimal text editor, thesaurus, dictionary, research databases, grammar checker, book layout formatter, book cover ruler/guide, document converter, marketing genre/keyword checker and on and on...

A nice sarcastically framed sticker "if you hate this, blame a human" or similar would probably prompt a snort-laugh and increase the chances of an immediate purchase.
But that's me. I'm a sucker for humor.
@ellenmorrisprewitt my whole life has been like this
to date, the non-fiction that I've done contains that sort of material.
this year, I started writing a novel in January, and the full first draft is under review, no doubt it has many of my idiosyncrasies.
I'm not planning to change the way I approach things.
I'm not trying to change the world.
unique and/or eccentric - so be it!
Anyone ever get overwhelmed by the size of your story and not quite sure how to re-approach it?
I'm dealing with that right now with my novel that broke 78k. My editor left me a ton of good notes but re-approaching the story, trying to insert new scenes, and just get it smoothed out is causing anxiety.
I got a plan by just making line item descriptions of each needed scene, a condensed list of her advice and just start at Chapter 1 and read.
Still overwhelming though but at least a direction. #writingcommunity #indieauthor

A question for folks out there who read fiction. I am an indie author with a new book. I do not use AI in my writing. Should I put a note or sticker on the cover which says something like "This story is entirely human generated" or "no AI was used in the making of this book." Would readers be interested / reassured by knowing it is all human-made? My covers are also designed using photos I took myself.
Edit: Please boost for reach.
Always be kind and definitely stay weird. However, if you're stuck for a book to read, I can suggest one or two...
