Is reading easier than writing? ✍️ IRL friend @Tim_Hughes1 👫 published his 2nd edition of Social Selling📖 & it turned out great! I hope you’ll check it out🕵️‍♀️! There’s a lot of new content & he worked hard to make it happen. (It gave me flashbacks to when I revised my book for the hardbound edition 🤪.) Meanwhile, I now wonder if reading could become more challenging than writing 🤔? Two weeks ago, I wrote about ChatGPT, an AI tool capable of writing almost anything. It passed the Wharton School MBA exam👩‍🎓, & scored in the 52nd percentile on the SAT📈. The more time I spend using it, the more mind-boggling it is🤯. I’ve generated outlines, gathered research & drafted documents that I use in my client work. (NOTE: All information should be reviewed for accuracy!)  INDISPENSIBLE AI APPS I USE: 🧠OTTER.AI— Record interviews or meetings & transcribe to text, including the ID of various speakers. 🧠GRAMMARLY— I use it to fine-tune essential writing projects. It evaluates for tone & audience, context, grammar, spelling, & punctuation. 🧠GOOGLE ASSISTANT— I use it throughout the day. It’s the 4th member of our family & often joins in during dinner. 🧠ZOOM—Zoom uses AI to continually improve & it now offers “intelligent conversational live chat” customer assistance. Haven’t tried it, but, Um. OK. We shall see. We probably aren’t always aware of AI’s presence in our lives. If you use Lensa, other face-altering apps, or Microsoft’s Azure, you’re using AI too!  What do you think? Are you excited🥳 or apprehensive😲? Is AI good👍 or bad👎?  . . FYI: ▶️Instagram #Meaculpa:📱IG says it screwed up by pushing Reels & video on us. Will photo lovers & photographers who fled to other apps forgive it 🙏& come back? ▶️To try ChatGPT: https://openai.com/, click “Try” at the top of the window. . .

The Someone Waiting For Me

Chapter Three: Sing ---

Zoey bounced around her, singing at the top of her lungs. “Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox and then we start to dance and now I’m singing like-”

“Zoey! You’re killing Ed!”

“Oh I, oh I, oh I…”

She may have been murdering one hell of a song but Zoey really was her Ed Sheeran partner in crime - forever bonded in their shared love of his music since his first mainstream album was released back in 2011. 

“Come on, be my baby, come on!” She couldn’t hit the high notes either. “I’m in love with your body!”

The two girls continued the rest of the walk that way; Aislinn playfully pushed and shoved her friend everytime Zoey over-eagerly punched at her arm and sang louder. Times like this and Aislinn could suddenly forget all the shit that was going on in her life. She was one hundred percent sure that friends like Zoey, Megan and Eloise were a rarity. 

They were still laughing loudly when they entered Mia’s house and made their way into the living room.

“Hey, Mia,” Aislinn was still laughing as she spoke. “I’m just getting changed and then Zo and I are- oh my god.” She stopped in her tracks.

“Hey, Sheerio.”

Book Update #1

As you may know, I am currently in the process of writing my very first book. I thought I’d go ahead and post a quick update about how it’s going. So far I only have about 20,000 words (roughly 55 pages). So, it’s very slow going, but I’ve been in a writing mood lately so I’m writing a lot more lately than I have previously. My goal is to have 40,000+ words by the end of the year. More would be ideal, but I have to be realistic here.

As for the story itself, I don’t want to say too much in case an idea thief is reading my updates, but I will say there will be a lot of LGBTQ+ and blindness representation throughout the book. So if you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community and would like to make sure you see yourself represented in the book please leave anything I should know in the comments, especially if you are in an underrepresented section of the community. I have firsthand knowledge about some aspects of the LGBTQ+ community, but don’t want to misrepresent anyone else.

I also wanted to mention that I will most likely create social media accounts specifically for the book once it gets closer to the release, but since I don’t have a name, cover, or estimated release date I will not create them yet. Until then you can get updates here or on any of my other social media accounts which are all my name, Chelby Farley, except Snapchat, which is chattychelby. I will try not to leave y’all hanging here for so long without an update in the future, but I update a lot more on my other social media. With that, if you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments, and I will update y’all soon.

Welcome!

Hi! I’m FallingFireflies and I am a new writer! On this blog I’ll be posting updates on my new book series currently called Heaven’s Trials. It follows the story of a teen named Wren as he tries to navigate through an unfamiliar world in order to save his brother. 

If you like fantasy/dystopian series with a diverse character list and LGBTQ+ themes then I hope you’ll follow my journey.

I’ll update new chapters about every two weeks. And with permission from the amazing artist I am working with, I will post guiding images on the characters and setting. All in all this is a new series and my first story so it won’t be perfect. Constructive criticism is welcome!

Have you used customer-service "chatbots" when complaining or asking a company about something online? 😖 Chatbots can be infuriating because they aren't human & they're often lame at answering questions. @carolstephen & @lazblazter are the hosts of Digiblogchat each Tuesday at 1 PM/PT. 🗣️ Twitter chats are great for learning & discussing topics with people with common interests. This week "ChatGPT" came up. Lazblaster & @finolainuk were using it. ChatGPT is an AI chatbot system🤖. It sounds boring🥱, but it's impressive. And fun. It draws on massive data from varied sources, so it knows a lot of stuff🧠. You ask questions & receive answers💬, sort of like in an interview🤷‍♀️. If you think of more questions, keep asking. (It remembers what it already said 🤔.) You can rate the results & tell if it was good or fell short👍👎. It learns from your feedback🤓. ChatGPT reminded me of when I tried the AI writing assistant, JasperAI ✍️, which was cool but expensive 💸. Right now, ChatGPT is free 🆓. Maybe you have questions like, "Can you recommend a list of fun things to do in Turin?🇮🇹” Seconds later, you’ll have your answer 🥳 (or just ask @turinepi!). You get the idea 💡. This week I discovered CNET, one of the tech blogs I read, has been using AI to write articles for the past few months✍️. I was floored. I also saw that Actor Ryan Reynolds asked ChatGPT to write a TV ad 📺 for @mintmobile (he's one of the owners). I have to say the commercial was freakishly entertaining 😛. If you try it, let me know what you think 🙏! 👉TIP: To bypass a customer service chatbot, use an expletive in ALL CAPS🤬. The system recognizes you're upset & usually connects you with a human right away🤳. 👉TIP: To try ChatGPT: (go to https://openai.com/ . Click on "Try" at the top of the browser.) . .

#BlackMuslimGirlFly 🤩❤️‍🔥 #Repost @Zakiyyah_Evans: “The Crying Girl Who Found Her Power” and “The Brilliant Girl With The Special Chair” explore uniqueness, strengths, and challenges. Both delightfully illustrated books evoke joy and healthy dialogue to help children think about how they behave differently when they’re overwhelmed and come up with alternative ways of behaving when challenged. #Striving #Author #firsttimeauthor #newauthor #childrensbooks #africanamericanauthors #blackauthorsmatter #blackauthors #authorsofcolor #kidsbooks #childtherapist #childtherapy #blackauthorsofinstagram #BlackMuslimGirlFly® #BlackMuslimCreatives #BlackMuslimNarratives #BlackMuslimsAreFly #BlackMuslimCreativesAreFly #BeingBlackAndMuslim #BlackMuslimah #BlackMuslimahExcellence #BlackCreatives #BlackMuslimNarrative https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYo2dopyJB/?utm_medium=tumblr

#QOTD Have you read any author's books for the first time this year? 📚 📚 I've read 23 books written by 9 different authors so far this year. Except for one, all other authors were new to me. I was reading their books for the first time. The one exception was Midnight Sun. Obviously I've read the Twilight series so Stephanie Meyer wasn't new to me. Nevertheless what I want to point out is that I would never have heard about such diverse and different authors if it wasn't for Bookstagram. I owe a lot to this community for introducing me to books, authors and genres that I never would have tried otherwise. 📚 📚 #mondebooks #newauthors #newbooks #firsttimeauthor #bookishengagement #authorlove #amazingauthor #bookgenre #thrillerbooks #readinglist #bookaholic #bookobsessed #bibliophile #quotestagram #quoteoftheday #bookishquotes (at Old Airport, Doha) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR1bABJL-ZT/?utm_medium=tumblr
