News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly. I was very happy to get the chance to read all of the quality posts this week. I do wish the writers would get rewarded with more sats, but that just seems to be a reflection of the overall state of SN right now. Things will improve.
Reminder: For the time being I will zap the top post half the rewards I receive before the next week’s issue, rather than split zaps into cowboy credits.
Happy reading!
.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

I can’t pretend to understand how zaprank works. I thought for sure this post would crack the top 5 of the week, but I still get to feature it here anyway. I really appreciate that @SimpleStacker took the time to review some bitcoin fiction. I have been meaning to read these two anthologies, but I haven’t found the time yet.
- Scandal-hit creative writing website NaNoWriMo to close after 20 years by @supratic
This is a crazy story about an online creative writing site. The whole mess raises issues about woke-ism, artificial intelligence, and creativity, along with more disturbing allegations.

I must not have as high of a trust rating in ~BooksAndArticles, or the people who zapped my post didn't have high trust ratings
I missed the National Novel Writing Month post. I'll have to ask my wife about that. She and her sister have both tried it, although I don't know if they used the website much.
Always a pleasure being part of this newsletter! Hey... that's my office in the mountains!
