This is post one in an excellent post about writing (which I love) and AI (ugh). Nails it perfectly.

I've had a few 'what do you do' convs recently, and everyone on hearing I'm an author comes out with "so how do you come up with ideas?", just like every book or movie about a writer has them staring numbly into space because they don't have an idea for the next book. And look, that is Not It.

Made significant progress on my edits for Nexus Book 1 today. Feeling pretty good about it...

...but there's still a long way to go. AND I found a couple of plot glitches that need redesigning. Sheesh.

A writer's work is never done. 😂 (Thank goodness!)

In a world filled with poverty, disease and suffering, choosing to be a billionaire is soulless, selfish and immoral. Choosing to be a trillionaire is downright evil.

Three book covers: one blue with an intact crystal cluster and the words "Fallen, The Founder's Seed Book 1," one red with a shattered crystal depicting different faces and the words "Broken, The Founder's Seed Book 2," and one green with a shapeshifting hand holding a crystal depicting two faces, and the words "Driven, The Founder's Seed Book 3." All three have the name Drema Deòraich.

A pull-quote from the novel I’m currently working on… 🙂

"Bardo went very still. His breathing grew shallow, rapid. Heat crept up from his chest toward his face. That fucking bitch. She’d killed his people. She might not have struck the blow, but she was responsible nonetheless. When her time came, Bardo vowed to be the one wielding the knife."

FINALLY got time to work on my latest manuscript, which has been languishing in the 1st draft stage for far too long. Still, readers thus far say it's a good start.

Now I just need to clarify a few things, plump up the chapters, add a bit of backstory (here & there), and re-read.

Fallen, the first book in The Founder's Seed trilogy, won a gold book award from Literary Titan earlier this year.

Two days ago, I learned that book 2, Broken, won the silver book award, and that book 3, Driven, won its own gold book award.

Thanks, Literary Titan! 😃

Two book covers on a turquoise background with stars at the corners. On the left, a red book cover with a shattered crystal and faces depicted in the fragments; text reads Broken: The Founder's Seed Book 2, Drema Deòraich; the review quote says "...intimate and raw...a book about what it means to stay whole when you are forced to fracture yourself for the sake of others..." A silver medallion sits below the cover, and reads Literary Tital Book Award. On the right, a green book cover with an outstretched non-human/human hand holding an intact crystal with two faces in the facets. Text reads: Driven: The Founder's Seed Book 3, Drema Deòraich; the review quote says, "...a story of ambition, cruelty, resilience, and the thin thread of hope that refuses to snap..." A gold medallion sits below the cover, and reads "Literary Titan Book Award." At the top of the image, a caption reads "...deserves extraordinary praise..." At the bottom of the image, text reads "according to LiteraryTitan.com."

After dealing with multiple pairs of slacks that are 3 sizes too large for far too long now, I *finally*went shopping today. Three new pairs of soft, nice-looking trousers now grace my dresser drawer. The fourth pair is now gracing my bottom -- and boy are they *comfy*!
