It is fascinating that storytelling has been reduced to “psychological manipulation” for the purpose of viral retention. Not saying it doesn’t work. Just saying this seems a bad way to live life. And hear stories.

Ai has destroyed any type of reactive or viral short form. The time it takes to inquire if something is real will create friction that will shift attention. Education will remain relevant. But rage bait and click bait will fail promptly.

Anybody else starting to hate hooks? Longing for long drawn out establishing shots? Prologues? Beauty?

Book X I am looking for a good editor for a Post Apocalyptic fiction novel. I am not hiring based on first contact. Send me your portfolio, website if you have one and rates. DMs are fine.

The dead internet theory has credibility. Also the ultimate ponzi loop. It seems like the path of “creators to gain fame and money is to talk about how to gain fame and money through the platform they are on. Seriously. Strange. Times.

When Dylan Thomas wrote “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” I don’t think he meant doomscrolling rage bait.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary So much has changed since then. Love the app for news and sports. But it seems the only alerts I get anymore are stars telling me to check out someone else. Find me on YouTube. ✌️

Encouragement for authors and writers. It’s not a sprint. It’s not even a leisurely walk. It’s a marathon. Just keep moving.

My first book was fiction. And it remains unpublished because the process of getting creative work into the world is unbelievably difficult. My second book launches August 12. It is far easier to market because it directly helps people and isn’t just entertainment Fascinating

I sometimes get frustrated that my content doesn’t get as many views as I’d like. But then I remember a billion pieces of content are uploaded daily. A billion. Ya. I’m glad your seeing this. 🙏

Fascinating to me that people no longer ask for context in a thread. They ask ai. And ai is often all wrong or mostly wrong.
