#WritersCoffeeClub How’s your writing progress so far this year?
Working on the 11th novel of the series, Silhouette of Ravens, which has taken some turns I did not expect, but interesting ones. I have not been as productive in writing this past month, a bit more focussed on visuals. I have some illustration and artwork to do, and that always gives me a clearer view of the story in the end. Like this new cover design for 11.

Green Queer Erotic Love Magic is the sometimes poetic and sometimes discursive imagination of a green queer erotic love-based anarchy. It discusses the meanings of green, queer, erotic and love and argues for the imagination to create "anarchy".

#writephant Q2 What writing goals are you excited to dive into this summer?
"I am an administrator at New York University, responsible for helping faculty adapt to digital tools. Since the arrival of generative AI, I have spent much of the last two years talking with professors and students to try to understand what is going on in their classrooms. In those conversations, faculty have been variously vexed, curious, angry, or excited about AI, but as last year was winding down, for the first time one of the frequently expressed emotions was sadness. This came from faculty who were, by their account, adopting the strategies my colleagues and I have recommended: emphasizing the connection between effort and learning, responding to AI-generated work by offering a second chance rather than simply grading down, and so on. Those faculty were telling us our recommended strategies were not working as well as we’d hoped, and they were saying it with real distress.
Earlier this semester, an NYU professor told me how he had AI-proofed his assignments, only to have the students complain that the work was too hard. When he told them those were standard assignments, just worded so current AI would fail to answer them, they said he was interfering with their “learning styles.” A student asked for an extension, on the grounds that ChatGPT was down the day the assignment was due. Another said, about work on a problem set, “You’re asking me to go from point A to point B, why wouldn’t I use a car to get there?” And another, when asked about their largely AI-written work, replied, “Everyone is doing it.” Those are stories from a 15-minute conversation with a single professor.
We are also hearing a growing sense of sadness from our students about AI use. One of my colleagues reports students being “deeply conflicted” about AI use, originally adopting it as an aid to studying but persisting with a mix of justification and unease."

An upcoming free zine on "digital grief" is seeking contributions.
"An invitation to art about deleting social media pages, abandoning convenient apps, and choosing to navigate the friction that resurfaces from using cash, calling, and in-person everything."

Today we talked about the difference between breaking down and breaking through, aligning our lives with the goals we set for ourselves and taking stock of what we already have to make them a reality.
Ready for a new year? Let’s do this.
