I'm back, baby. The burnout/block has lifted and I'm hitting the daily word counts again! The new science fantasy WIP The Problem with Portals and the brand new Emaneska novella are going very well.

Do you think these reasons would be enough to find me guilty and send me to author jail?

"AI wrote it but it's all my idea" "I directed the AI." "The AI assisted the writing" "I worked collaboratively with the AI" "The AI is my writing partner" "I'm still a real author" Same energy as me thumbing buttons on my microwave and calling myself Gordon fucking Ramsay

It still melts my tiny little brain that there are multiple people in the world with tattoos inspired by something I've written... So unbelievably proud

September was NOT good for my writing challenge. The dreaded block hit. I had to switch to maximum editing mode. Insert another excuse. The good news is October has already smashed September 😁 WE'RE BACK

I met a raven at the top of the mountain. Have I been given a quest or did I just complete one?
