The ramblings and musings of Nancie Neal
After the last post, I had a thought. ChatGPT isn’t that great at coming up with a story, but what if you gave it an outline? I wanted a story that had an open ending. Mostly I decided that anything I use AI for I’ll put it up for free (details, including link below). So … Continue “ChatGPT Ghostwriting” »
I’ve had ChatGPT play CLOSAT. If you never heard of CLOSAT (acronym for Character, Location, Object (of contention) Situation (triggering) Action, Theme), it’s a game that could help encourage writing, especially if you are struggling to come up with any new ideas.

I finally finished the edits to “The Gathering.” My daughter is currently working on the cover, and I’m taking a couple of days off before rereading it to do another slew of minor edits before formatting it.

And the ability to connect to the internet at will sounds awesome. … Continue “How to Become Telepathic… Maybe” »

My husband and I wanted to fill our freezer with beef. He finally fixed it enough for us to use. The cover still needs a replacement seal, but since it’s winter, we’re not worried about energy loss. A couple of years ago, we tried the Meat Market west of Tyler. The meat was great, but … Continue “Adventures in shopping locally: Beef” »
“They [the media] are doing you dirty.” – Connor. I love watching non-Americans who are not Journalists talk about the US. Their perception is a lot more down-to-earth. They discuss their visit to the US and one racist encounter – in Detroit.
I woke up feeling better, but my back still gets stiff every time I sit for long periods of time. Reaching down for anything is out of the question. I have been taking this downtime to make plans and hash ideas. One thing I put on my to do list is to change my blog … Continue “What new things to expect?” »
