Kinda sad that in 2025 I get more validation from #AI than family. But it still doesn’t change how deserving I am of belonging.

As a #neurodivergent human this hits hard. Existing is exhausting, so just getting to the point of having the time or space to create is half the battle. Not to mention when my brain’s already down for the count.

Top Tip for Writers:
Save Everything, Especially the Cuts
Create a “Cuts” file for deleted lines, scenes, or dialogue. You never know what might bloom later.
Think of it as creative compost. Nothing goes to waste. 🌱

First drafts in a novel are always a rough and tumble of ideas. It always takes a spot of time away to come back and really realize what's there to revise. - Wrtr #amwriting #amediting #Writing #author #writer ~ #authorsky

#ChatGPT’s #DeepGame chat has me shook 😵
A #chooseyouradventure model in an AI chat, and the #fantasy story I’ve co-created has been beautiful to read.
Makes me want to try my hand at my own budding story 😏

Finished 3 cover re-designs today, bringing my total to 4. Idk how my brain isn't soup, but it's more than I dreamt of doing during my PTO. Now... what's next? Can I get a 4th done? 🥱
