I wouldn’t write this: The wind, a fickle and capricious force, whispered through the leaves, carrying with it the scent of pine, damp earth, and something else… something wild and untamed. The branches of the ancient trees groaned and creaked under the wind’s unseen hand, a chorus of mournful sounds that echoed through the silentContinue reading “My Competition 3”

Cover Style – 3
This might be four, not three. Anyway, a quick post (I’m waiting for a work meeting to start) about a cover style thing I just noticed on Amazon: The main character is facing away. About the featured image: I like the hat and the tail-as-pony-tail. Not happening, but it’s not awful. These are just screenContinue reading “Cover Style – 3”
Lunchtime Cover Disappointment 2
See, always a “two”. All 1,200 of them fail. Until they run out, I’ll use some of the vaguely acceptable ones as featured images for the LitRPG Werewolves category. That one has too much dick bulge, which is very common in this set, and lacks color and/or glowy things. The plastic look doesn’t really showContinue reading “Lunchtime Cover Disappointment 2”
Lunchtime Cover Disappointment
I forgot to write something down about the stable diffusion settings. This round is different. Not necessarily horrible, but, well, mostly horrible. I’m getting ridiculously bulging cartoons. For example: Something kind-of like that would actually work. It meets all the criteria (except having room for the text). It’s more abstract than I have in mind,Continue reading “Lunchtime Cover Disappointment”
Attack Miniphany!
I got it! The biker gang does not attack Kier, itself, which is idiotic. They attack an outlying farm. I have already established that at least some of these farms have radios to talk to the sheriff. From chapter 13: “Nice to meet you, sheriff. I’ve got to ask, do you often stand on theContinue reading “Attack Miniphany!”
Plasma Spheres
Summary: A cubic inch sphere of oxygen plasma contains 10 kJ of energy. That makes a 12 cubic inch (~3 inch diameter) sphere hand grenade equivalent. How I got there: The original plan for the firepit (the scene that refuses to be written in chapter 19, in case you are just tuning in) was toContinue reading “Plasma Spheres”
The Townsfolk
If I’m going to give them agency, I need to know who they are. The real-world Kier has a (Wiki) population of 350. I’ve written “under 500”. That’s a lot of people. Some of them must be good for something (apparently, I’ve become a Utilitarian in my old age). Who we have so far, inContinue reading “The Townsfolk”
Arced
I’ve retroactively added arcs for the first half and proactively added them to the second. What’s Going On? covers chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4.Getting Used to It covers chapters 5, 6, and 7.Lone Wolves, Numbers Go Up covers chapters 8 and 9Introductions covers chapters 10, 11, 12, and 13.The Cost of Power covers chaptersContinue reading “Arced”
My Competition – Two
Another “two” post. Unlike the first one, this one isn’t awful. The cover image is a link. Note that the cover checks all the boxes: Weapons, Something that Glows, Monsters, Color, Not Photo-Realistic, and Serif font (sort of). (The lighting is wrong; there’s another light source about four feet above and ten feet forward ofContinue reading “My Competition – Two”
Feedback Two
I should just start out numbering all posts. I always seem to write at least a second one. Anyway… The back and forth between Luke and Tom, especially at the start of the book seems… off? I can’t describe it. It doesn’t flow well. Oddly the conversations Luke has with other people are better. IContinue reading “Feedback Two”
