You write an apocalypse scene and: The intrepid heroes try to call their friends and can’t get through They send texts They go to the car to see what’s on the radio If you don’t see what’s missing from that list, you’re old. I don’t know if the phone/Intertube connections will be working or not.Continue reading “How Do You Know You’re Old?”

A Strange Publishing Schedule
I’ve read all the books in my Kindle, again (except the one I don’t like; I see no reason to call it out by name), so I went looking for more. Amazon’s “Customers Also Bought” list included Primal Ascension: Book 1. in the Primal Ascendant Series (The Primal Ascendent Series). Before anything else, the title:Continue reading “A Strange Publishing Schedule”
Prompt Skillz – Third Result
“Third” is probably “final”. Not only are they all blurring together, but I have a lot of decent choices. The odds of anything better showing up are low. two distinct foreground people (large black wolf:1.4) AND (muscular man:1.1) in bluejeans, tight white t-shirt, boots, glowing axe, outside, dry hills, moonlight, photo fantasy style, [anime], [cartoon]Continue reading “Prompt Skillz – Third Result”
Prompt Skillz – Second Results
two distinct foreground people (large black wolf:1.4) AND (muscular man:1.1) in bluejeans, tight white t-shirt, boots, glowing axe, [dick bulge], outside, dry hills, moonlight, photo fantasy style, [anime], [cartoon] Only 16 out of that batch of 1000. [dick bulge] has been removed and another 1000 started. I’m losing my judgement on how much is tooContinue reading “Prompt Skillz – Second Results”
Synchronicity of the Day
There’s a local author (Gary Wietgrefe) who has a booth at the farmer’s market. It occurred to me that he might know of a local copy editor. Sure, I can find one on fiver, but I’m happy to support someone local. I went on Saturday, primarily to talk with him. He writes historical fiction. HeContinue reading “Synchronicity of the Day”
Pretty Sure It’s AI
I’m not going to make the accusation in an Amazon review, but I’m pretty sure that Kill Rate is AI generated. The flags: It stated a fact and then it stopped, the way a posted sign states a fact and then stops,… That’s not wrong. I even like it. On its own, it wouldn’t raiseContinue reading “Pretty Sure It’s AI”
ESFY?
I’ve been trying to figure out how to protect Earth from the greater multiverse. We’re the n00bs. There are civilizations out there that have been doing this for literal billions of years. I’ve written the post about “multiverses are really big” and “there is no such thing as ‘no one cares’” because in population ofContinue reading “ESFY?”
Totally Stealing This
The week after the meeting had actually gone incredibly well. What a way to start a chapter! Bam! A week has passed. I hate both documenting every day and blithely jumping forward. That’s a bit of a conundrum. Right now, I’ve got 39 days in 26 chapters, which is pretty much every day. A lot,Continue reading “Totally Stealing This”
Structure Two
There’s always a two. The “one” is way back in January. I had good thoughts. I’ve made some decisions, since. At least book two is going to be continuing chapter numbers. The so-far unnamed and unranked army guy arriving in the first snowfall is going to end book one. Book two will pick up immediately.Continue reading “Structure Two”
What I Wanted To Be
When I was in high school, I wanted to be a scientist. I didn’t have any particular field in mind, but Tom Swift Jr and Tom Corbett were my ideal, so more physics/engineering than chemistry/biology. As it turned out, I’m smart, but not that smart. It might have been possible, but it would have beenContinue reading “What I Wanted To Be”
