Some of my characters are multilingual, and sometimes speak in languages other than English.

[#]WritersCoffeeClub Day 10: What's your favourite summer read for a getaway/holiday/vacation?

I've got to be honest, when I go on vacation, I'm generally scheduled up to my eyeballs. I don't have any time left over for reading. So, after a bunch of trips where I came home and said, "Wow, those books were a waste of luggage space and weight allowance," I don't bring them anymore.

(Fallback answer: whatever's already in my Kindle account and hence accessible on my phone.)

[#]WritersCoffeeClub Day 11: Do you consider any of your work to be unfilmable?

Not really. I'm trying to keep it kind of filmable, actually. That may or may not be the best idea; I've pondered on it occasionally and considered that I certainly could lean into the ability of the written word to convey non-visual ideas. But it's hard for me not to try to picture everything in my mind's eye, which makes it a little more filmable.

[#]WritersCoffeeClub Day 12: Someone asks permission to use AI to write a book in your style outside your usual genre. Do you allow it?

When I first wrote my answer, back at the end of last month when the questions came out, I just said, "I don't think I would, no."

After seeing so many other people's excellent replies, though, I think I have to rewrite that to: Holy flaming fuckballs, absolutely not!

(Also, I think I've gotta stop being so kind and mild about these AI questions.)

@kagan I am the living embodiment of that meme with the golden retriever that says "Me" and the werewolf that says "My art," but the whole ai thing turns me into the Hulk. Like, get the hell off my lawn with that shit. 😂
