Keep the Lesson. Leave the Guilt Behind.

Posted on January 10, 2018 by Bryn Donovan

The other day, a coworker of mine said something that offended someone else we work with. He’s a nice person, he apologized immediately, and his apology was accepted.

ChatGPT in writing is a hot topic these days, so I thought I'd share my approach to LLMs! 😂 In writing my books and my blog posts, and in doing my freelance editing, I rely on my brain. 🥰 I have the so-called "AI Assistant" (the only accurate part of that name is "artificial") disabled on my browser, and I use high-quality sources for research. Thank you for supporting human authors!
Where are you celebrating Independent Bookstore Day? I’m going to be in Waterford, Wisconsin (not too far from Milwaukee or the northern suburbs of Chicago) as part of the amazing celebration hosted by @readsbytheriverbookstore! I’ll be on a romance writing panel at 3 pm with @shelby_saville_author and @authoraschuh at the Waterford Library Community Room. This bookstore has SO much going on for the day…adorable totes with purchases, SO MANY amazing giveaways, and a historical fiction author panel at 1 pm with @kellymustianauthor, Embassie Susberry, and @todlending. I’m so excited! It’s going to be the place to be!
Writers: do you incorporate facial expressions in your writing? Here's why I recommend them, as an author and a book editor. I also think that including them now and again makes the story more cinematic. Of course, in a novel or any story, you never want to overdo anything!
I’m hosting free writing sprints over Zoom in April, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. CST.
Romance book cover reveal--tell me what you think! 🥰 I hope everyone enjoys this time travel romcom. It's sort of Bridgerton meets modern-day Chicago. And yes, it's a sequel to HER KNIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, starring Rose! So grateful to @berkleyromance--they do such beautiful book cover designs!
Bookstores are where (even though I’m on a budget) I turn into the greediest person you’ve ever met.
