Question for the #writing community: have you had any luck using the various AI bots to improve research (such as confirming aspects of your setting, like how common flashlights might have been in the 1940s)? I end up doing the regular Google searching regardless to confirm the answers, myself...so that nullifies the time savings. Has anybody found one they trust and that provides citations for their output?

My company is hiring an entry-level editor. It's a full-time, remote position, but candidates must be US residents to be considered. Familiarity with the legal industry and/or SEO are major pluses. If you're interested, message me and I'll provide the link and more details.

Does a good detective story allow the reader to solve the puzzle before the author tells it to you? Or does it keep them in the dark until it's time to solve the case? I've always imagined the former would be the best, but in reviewing the famous detective stories of our day, it seems the latter was more commonly employed. Sherlock Holmes, for example, always seem to hold some key detail back until the very end. New to the genre, thoughts?

Quick question: do folks here like Scrivener? I'm almost at the end of the trial, and I'm still torn on whether I want to pay for it. Are there other things I should try first that are similar? #cosowriters

This may be old hat at this point, but it still amused me. There's a "Viral Post Generator" going around to make "viral LinkedIn posts." The output? Well...here's my swing at it. (Naturally, the engagement is completely fabricated by the generator.)

You can play around with it yourself here: https://viralpostgenerator.com/

Writers: heed my call! I've written some characters I had wanted to keep into a corner and I don't know how to get them out of it. Opinions, please!

Slippered steps on wooden planks
Muffled by the rain
Streaming softly from sky
To wet my window pane

The fire's lit, the cabin's dry
The kettle's at a boil
The wind outside may bark and bray
Its impotent turmoil

The woolen blanket's on the bed,
The cat's curled at my feet
I deftly drain my mug of tea
And hum myself to sleep
