Novel Easter Egg: In my novel "Psychogen," there's a scene where the space pirates are on a merchant ship, and a door is made of mahogany (rare to see in space these days).
This is my way of calling back to Effie in "The Hunger Games."

Unsolicited writing advice, no #7262:
When you're editing a project, try changing the font before you start. It tricks your brain into seeing your words anew, making it easier to spot typos or areas that might need work.

This frightens me the most. But AI will never be able to deliver a heart felt and inspired work of art, performance, written master piece like some creative minds can. We still have soul to put into it.
