I don’t write an outline for every story, but I always have a notes file. One thing I always do is character backgrounds and descriptions. Fleshing out characters helps me a lot when it comes to their speech and mannerisms in the story.

I go to bed every night deeply grateful it's not been the worst day of my life, and desperately hopeful that tomorrow won't be, either. I also think of everyone who IS going through the worst days of their life right now, and wish there was something I could do for them. #WeeknightWriters

Q1: How are you holding up this week? Vent as much as you need to, this is a safe space (as safe as any public social media space can be) #WeeknightWriters

Had an interesting discussion about AI and the energy consumption issue. It’s not a big problem yet, but it will be. There are solutions on the horizon, big ones.

First story of the Norse saga I’m working on is almost finished. Not sure if I want to jump into the second “chapter” or do a round of editing on the first, once it’s completed.
