It is that time of the month. No–not that one. It’s time for another post for The Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG). If you haven’t already clicked on the magical image above, do it.

Today’s optional question: The topic of AI writing has been heavily debated across the world. According to various sources, generative AI will assist writers, not replace them. What are your thoughts?
So many thoughts, but primary among them was succinctly put in a Twitter post I recently stumbled across. Let me summarize it for you here: If someone can’t bother to do the writing, why should I bother to do the reading. I will leave it at that. Now, time for some news.
In science news today, more information about Polynesian migration throughout the islands of the Pacific. This fascinates me because I took a trip to Easter Island around ten years ago.Good memories.
It is the last Wednesday of September 2023, and I’m happy to see signs of fall are finally beginning to sprout their colorful heads. I love fall! This year it’s been slow to get going, but not as slow as me in getting my news links together. I finally did it, and now, I’ll share them with you.
This first story involves a bear and a serious case of the munchies.

My first story is full of a different kind of mood enhancer. Let it flow.
In science news, refraction is the answer to why we see mirages. Bending light is a fascination of mine, and this story served up a bit of refracted fun. I love science!
The Insecure Writer’s Support Group celebrates 12 years today! I’ve been participating for a good chunk of those twelve years (eight or nine—I think). Lexa Cain, a friend and former participant, turned me on to IWSG, and I continue on to this day.
Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! It’s Wednesday again, you know? With a bit of news and a closing song, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho. Why the dwarves song? Don’t know. It popped into my head. Wednesdays can be weird like that. 😉 Time for some news.
Ever misplace a 900-pound water buffalo? If you have, you now have company.
Me. I’m the news this week. I found out today that my high fantasy book featuring a kickass dragon rider who partners with a rejected dragon is a finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writer’s contest. Woo-hoo!
