Quick Post On AI Lawsuit
Has To Be Quick Since Aces Game Early Tomorrow… For those of you who do not watch any news at all, this last week most of the remaining bestselling traditional writers and the Author’s Guild filed a lawsuit to stop the theft of their work by ChapGPT. I am not a lawyer, but reading the complaint is very clear and powerful. Lots and lots of artists are already filing suits against AI art companies. And this big suit by old bestsellers is just a part of the massive wave of lawsuits for copyright infringement that have already been filed and will be filed. Simply put… AI in art and in…

Wow!! What a Store!!
WMG Publishing Started a New Diving Universe Store And right now it is having a grand opening sale. Go to www.divingintothewreck.com and browse around. Imagine the store without all the Grand Opening sales stuff. And imagine something like it as your own author web site. Yes, Shopify can do all kinds of looks and blogs and anything a regular web site can do and so much more. I loved the Pulphouse Shopify Store and our main WMG Books store we call “the mothership.” But when I saw how Stephanie Writt had built this store, the first thing I thought of was an author web site. It would be one of…

A Bunch of Kickstarters
I Push Different Kickstarters For Writers… If a person is on the free Kickstarter for Fiction Writers class on Teachable and starts a campaign and lets me know, I try to look at it (and I often back it) and then I write a group letter to all the others in the free class telling everyone about it. There are about 1,500 writers in that class, so sometimes it helps some. (This is that letter.) And I focus on what writers should study about each campaign. If the campaign doesn’t work, I won’t list it, and sometimes a campaign ends before I can get it listed. Just my schedule issues…

So check it out at IVORY TREES: A Diving Universe Novel Kickstarter. And check out the two special workshops. They are only offered for the next three days on this Kickstarter.

Saturday Night…
Aces’ Second Playoff Game at Noon… So to get there, I have to be up early, and since I am tired tonight from doing a 5K and working on Pulphouse stories, I think I’m going to go to try to get a full night’s sleep since I have to be up early to make the game. One reminder… Special Stretch Goal for 350 backers by tomorrow night late on the IVORY TREES: A Diving Universe Novel Kickstarter.
