I am... back. And I SO apologize for the MIA, the Novels with no progress on Wattpad, etc. Started going back to school, and life got hectic. Going to take a break after this term, and see about focusing on some of my writing and personal projects again.

I firmly believe that AI should never take the place of creativity or humans. But I think all too often, we dismiss its usefulness as a tool. AI shouldn't write your novel for you, but it can be useful for helping you find plot holes, or bouncing ideas off of - as long as that's all it does.

So, I've got four novels in the works (don't judge me, lol. ADHD is a bugger.) Presently, I have two chapters available for you to read of one of them, "Echos of the Abyss," on Wattpad. You can read it here:

I've been pretty absent, and for that I apologize. I've been busy with a career change, and working on my book(s) around that. Couple of updates: 1) I'm rewriting chapters from October Storm still, and I'll begin to release those soon on Wattpad.

My book, October Storm, is being put on an haitus, not because I can't or don't want to write it, but because I'm deciding on a major shift for the setting, to allow myself more creative freedoms than setting it in Seattle. So expect lots of changes in the book coming soon.

I think the hardest part for me right now is the marketing of myself and my book. I genuinely do not know where to start. I have a serial book, chapter by chapter, (rather than one book all at once,) yet I'm not sure how to market it to gather more readers, nor what content I should make to fix it.

PSA: There's a trend of "employers" requiring that Writers submit ORIGINAL & UNPAID work to qualify for gig positions. These underpaying content mills will continue to proliferate by feeding on the desperation of hungry artists. Do with this as you will.

I would have never thought making content for TikTok as an author would leave me more stumpted than anything else.

Do other writers have a weather, season, time of day, etc. That just puts them in the mood to write more than others?

Is it weird, that I wanna take a vacation - hop on a plane and fly somewhere, and either spend time on a cruise or in a hotel somewhere that isn't local - and just... write? Work on my book, my world building, all of it... but like... somewhere that isn't... home or local?
