(Incorrect) Post by New York Times Books With Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback, H.G. Wells invented the genre of science fiction. (Correct) Post by Mame-Fatou Niang When Mary Shelley wrote #Frankenstein in 1818 (aged 19), neither Jules Verne, nor Welles were born yet (Allan Poe was 9). A teenage girl wrote what is still considered today the 1st science fiction novel. This article continues the long tradition of erasing her.

    So, how do I get on this waiting list? 😊




    8-year-old sneaks his self-made book onto library shelf— now it has a 2-year waiting list. Side by side picture of the Dillion and his book "The Adventures of Dillion Helbig's Crismis by Dillon his self". goodnews_movement: 2nd grade Dillon Helbig waited for the right moment to slide his 81-page "Crismis" book onto the shelf at the Ada County Library near Boise, Idaho over the holidays. When he told his mom, she was worried the Library might throw it out. They hadn't. Instead it's turned into one of the top requested books with dozens waiting to read it.

        I miss daily #blogging. My September Gratitude [series] was very enjoyable to write, very life-giving. Considering how much work it was, I only had four entries that were less than 100 words (i.o.w., only four "It's 23:50, I'm exhausted, and I have to post SOMETHING" entries). (And only 7 entries that were posted after 23:30 at all ;)

        What are you guys queuing up for November/#WritingMonth?

            The No AI List now has a category "Books, Authors & Writers", where my homepage is currently the only entry.
            noailist.org/books-and-authors/
            If you are writing books without the help of AI, why not add them to the list?
