Is this the Beginning of the End for Writers?
CLOSAT, Technology

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. You can check out my first post on the game here. A few … Continue “Is this the Beginning of the End for Writers?” »

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. Remember when a week seemed like forever? We are already at the end of the first month of … Continue “That Took Long Enough” »

This one has to do with a single rule (see part 1 and part 2: Don’t use cliche openings. Inspired by the last two, I made this into one big cliche’d story (original). I’m not editing this mess. TW – mixed tenses. It was a dark and stormy night during the best of times and … Continue “What not to do in Writing, Part 3” »

After writing the last short story on Blogger, I thought I would give it another shot (see the original; I edited this one a little).   Prologue: The wise white wizard in his white flowing robes. The wind made them flutter around him as he turned towards the other white wizard. “Wise friend.” He stroke … Continue “What not to do in Writing, Part 2” »

But I broke all the rules… And it turned out as you would expect.

Pictured: The next series that comes after Elizabeth – in the bare bones, generalized plotting stages. No real editing except for spelling errors. It’ll be a couple of months before I start the actual stories. I also realized that I’m using the wrong outline. EvaDeverell’s outline (in the picture) works well for fantasy (I’m using … Continue “The next Projects, Coming Soon” »

18: Elizabeth has some pride in talking herself out of a situation, only to second guess herself later. She is proud of her kids, but she doesn’t talk about them much, because that might mean admitting the possibility that they were casualties of the Third wave pandemic or the riots. 19: Elizabeth is older, so … Continue “May Character Month 18-23th” »
