Many writers are becoming more trusting of AI tools--including me, to an extent. But we have to understand the underpinnings of this phenom and be ready for coming changes. Read this quick post to see what's really happening.

The Rot Economy and How to Advantage the AI Bubble Is the bubble about to pop? Will unprepared writers be left mopping up the mess?

Can we all just admit that the hardest part of any creative project is the moment you have to tell people it exists?

You go from being a creator, deep in the flow... to suddenly feeling like you need to be a carnival barker. It's a weird, uncomfortable hat to wear.

For anyone who'd rather wrestle a badger than write a "check out my new thing!" post, I see you. You are my people. 👀

Here’s the truth: Your work deserves to be seen, and you don't have to feel sleazy sharing it. It's about finding your way to connect with the people who will love what you do.

Let's start a thread: What's your #1 fear when it comes to self-promotion? Let's get it out in the open! 👇

You, at 2 AM, Googling in an incognito window:
"how to sell books without being an annoying jerk"
"i hate marketing what do i do"
"author newsletter ideas when i have nothing to say"

The advice you found was garbage, wasn't it? Corporate jargon and tactics that make you feel like you need to take a shower.

What if your marketing was just... more storytelling?

Something is coming.

Write what sets you on fire. Edit everything else. Champion fellow storytellers.

This Anthropic suit (Claude AI) isn't happening in a vacuum. It's just one front in a much larger war being waged over the future of creative work. With The New York Times locking horns with OpenAI and Microsoft, and authors from George R.R. Martin to Sarah Silverman launching their own legal volleys, the battlefield is getting crowded. Creative workers might come out on top.

Anthropic's case is a crucial piece of the puzzle. You're watching an intellectual property arms race, and the publishers just decided to roll out their heavy artillery—while Anthropic may not be as slick as they thought they were.
