Insecure Writer’s Support Group Day, AI Using Books Without Permission, and IWSG Member Releases


It’s time for another group posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group! Time to release our fears to the world – or offer encouragement to those who are feeling neurotic. If you’d like to join us, click on the tab above and sign up. We post the first Wednesday of every month. I encourage everyone to visit at least a dozen new blogs and leave a comment. Your words might be the encouragement someone needs.

The awesome co-hosts for the April 2 posting of the IWSG are Jennifer Lane, L Diane Wolfe, Jenni Enzor, and Natalie Aguirre!

April 2 question - What fantasy character would you like to fight, go on a quest with, or have a beer/glass of wine with?

What fantasy character would you like to fight, go on a quest with, or have a beer/glass of wine with? Are your books being used by AI without your permission?

This AI business is another hurdle for authors who want to write and publish. Hard to imagine what comes next. Congratulations to the the "real" authors with books out that they've actually written themselves.

AI using my work without my permission? Oh, great.
