Just in the few minutes since I posted this, I've gotten enough responses to indicate that these mistaken claims aren't uncommon or isolated. Please keep passing them on beware@sfwa.org

I know I already posted about this...but to reiterate: Anthropic copyright settlement authors, PLEASE contact me (Writer Beware) if your publisher is making a claim on a book whose rights have reverted, or claiming anything other than a 50/50 split on an in-contract book. beware@sfwa.org

During my own disastrous (but murder-free) cross country train trip, several people suggested it would make a good book, but I suspect it would be more like this. (I do want to point out, though, that that's a BART train, not Amtrak. BART does not run cross-country routes.)

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

This short excerpt from my 1999 novel, The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove: Mavis helped the man to a bar stool. “Get her out of here,” Mavis said. “She’s eighty-sixed. This time forever.” Theo kept his eyes locked on Molly’s. “Are you okay?”

The Maltese Falcon, and I'd also erase the part where my dad told me who the killer was as I was leaving to go see it.

If you could entirely erase your knowledge of a film and watch it as if for the first time, which would you choose that isn’t Psycho?

Told my husband I was already leaning toward Katie Porter for governor but almost slipped and said Katy Perry. He thinks Justin Trudeau would make a good first gentleman of California.

It's amazing how all the AI boosters in writing spaces keep insisting that "everyone" is doing it. No, we're not. You're doing it because you suck, and we don't.

Nearly six months behind bars. No bail. When they finally dismissed the charges they released her in North Dakota with no winter clothes & no means of getting back home to Tennessee. They upended this woman's life.

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

Yes, I wouldn’t doubt that you could train AI to make plausible ersatz Cormac McCarthy that would fool most readers. But if you gave AI the sum of human literature up until McCarthy’s first novel, it would never spontaneously create his style.

A neat thing about Experian is that you can unsubscribe from their alerts and then a while later they're like, "but did you really?" and start sending them to you again.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

This one doesn’t make noise unless it has to. #California taught us early how to stand our ground, hold the line, to endure and overcome. With that spirit the #CA #Quail takes flight among our #rebelbirds collection. Flock the Empire!
