It's the first Wednesday in March and time for IWSG monthly blog hop. Thanks to Alex J. Cavanaugh and all the iwsg admins for keeping this amazing group going for years and years. If you want to learn and share with a lot of amazing writers, find them all on this list.
Apologies for missing last month's hop. I'm not sure where my head was at the time. Really busy with the planning of the 2026 Pennwriters' conference but I still shouldn't have missed IWSG.
I'm going to skip the optional book launch question, but I'm going to take notes on all the other answers. It's been a while since I had a book launch but I'm hoping that changes in the next 12 months or so.

Besides being busy working on the conference, I've still working on the second draft of my most recent WIP. I worked through a scene that was challenging me but need to do more work on it. Almost there because I hope to pitch it to an agent and an editor at the aforementioned conference.
I've been reading so many disturbing articles about AI and writing. I'm afraid of where this will go? But I'm going to keep on writing anyway.

In wonderful news, I found out that one of my five sons and my daughter are meeting on Facetime once a week to write together for an hour. My daughter has been writing for a long time but my son has just started. They're both so talented, I'm super excited.
And today, as you read this, our neck of the woods is supposed to finally get a break to this endless winter. After sleet and freezing rain yesterday, the temperature is supposed to climb to the fifties. Finally!
Except for all the not walking outside, all my other fun things are going great, crocheting, jigsaw puzzling, and writing, of course. I haven't made much of a dent over the winter in my TBR pile, actually added to it. But I've read so many great books.
So, what book launch advice are you giving? Are you worried about AI putting writers out of business? Is writing a family thing with you?

That's a cool thing for your kiddos to meet virtually and write!!! I'm glad your winter is finally improving. It's been brutal for some.
That's neat two of your kids are meeting together to write. And I just love that quote. I've also heard "You can't steer a parked car."
It's awesome that your son and daughter are writing together on Facebook. Good luck with your WIP. I'm glad you're getting some warm weather. We are finally in Michigan, too.
Looks like a warm snap headed our way as well. And no worries about missing last month!
Good luck with pitching at the conference!
Sending some warm weather vibes your way... :)
AI is an interesting beast, but I'm not too worried. People want to connect with people. Eventually, AI is going to become a nasty word and people will boycot it. At least, in the arts community, I'm already seeing things trend that way.
We must live in the same region since your weather is the same as mine! Loved leaving work today and the sunshine is melting all that snow.
Love that your kids are getting into writing!
I'm glad you keep writing. Stories drawn on the experiences and imaginations of real people are what most of us really want, not AI.
