IN COLD BLOOD
This is a late reply, but In Cold Blood is actually on the short list of books I’ve given 5 stars. If you read it I’d love to know what you think!!

@WORLDONFIRE honestly understandable💀 and tbh I hate reading at the beach here sometimes because if there’s any breeze or wind there will be sand in your pages lol or if I’m on my stomach reading my back/shoulders WILL hurt the next day. No winning lol

@WORLDONFIRE yay!! There’s something about the writing that I found very immersive; which was mostly great but also a little stomach dropping for me at certain parts, of course, considering the content.

In cold blood by truman capote
its the perfect blend of fiction and nonfiction. Capote is a journalist and wrote the book after investigating a murder but he writes the book as if it were fiction from the perspectives of the victims and killers. He fills in the gaps with dialogue that may have taken place and the feelings the victims might have had during the home invasion. It’s a true story but very engaging read, plus it has a beautiful cover!

Making ai hate more public
I know I’ve ranted about AI before but! Just saw another writer who was doing peer reviews as she was writing chapters with another person; until she found out the other person was using AI for their NOVEL! Blows my mind. She removed this person from her document and sent her a kind but straightforward message about how she won’t be working with her going forward due to the AI usage. I feel like using it for novel writing is one of the most insane uses because #1 this person told me that the AI generated parts of the work weren’t even as good as the other person’s normal writing was. #2 let’s say no one noticed and you published with the AI work, so you would be okay if the book did well but it wasn’t even truly your writing that people would be praising?? Not to mention of course the morality and environmental impact. Also, I was shopping around today for a custom leather stamp to start stamping the leather journal covers I make. Thought I found someone to make it until they said to send the logo file over and they’ll send back AI created renderings of a mockup to approve. Now I am starting the search all over🙃

WALK OUTSIDE MORE
Today was one of those bad days where it causes a headache and you feel exhausted from everything, but somehow a nice long walk outside made things seem a little better. Fresh air and thinking or daydreaming while listening to the sounds of outside. I sometimes find myself taking for granted the place that I live, I work or I’m too tired and I use that as an excuse to not go outside more. Yet every time I get the chance to spend the time outside, I can’t say I ever regret it. I’m going to make it a goal for myself to try and take a walk outside at least a few times a week.
