    Upcoming Fantasy Anthology

    This will be a first for me! Justin Rose invited me into this little Fantasy Anthology and me being me I couldn't resist fleshing out some backstory on a villain character, Admiral Nikôdî tû Dêidontâ. For his short page time, so far, he is one of my favorite characters. Anyhow! The group is...

    Got told AI did a better job than me.

    Actually it’s quite good at teaching me stuff and doesn’t get pissed when I ask how to do something for 29th time like my coding friends lmao.

    How do y'all make up "fantasy names?"

    With my brain. It just does this shit. Readers have asked me several times how I make names and languages and I never have a real answer.

    Got told AI did a better job than me.

    In fairness to AI, its non creative abilities are awesome. I can code and debug shit in insane ways.

    Actually, AI is abit like Hollywood: it can't tell a new story.

    AI might "write better" and sure as hell will write faster, but it won't write the same story you will. It writes good copy and flashy, impressive shit like a new toy. Whatever.

    Is this copyright infringement?

    I wouldn’t fear the word Chateau, but whether or not other stuff gets too close I wouldn’t know. Odds on you’ll never make their radar anyhow. That said, all things become more alcoholic the longer you ferment them, upto a point of course. Yeast only survives to a certain point before you need...

    Received my first response from a publisher!

    Sounds encouraging. I had a spec script requested by a production company in LA and I got this letter back, and I'll totally paraphrase this since it's been 25ish years. Oh my God, I laughed outloud! I can't tell you how rare that is when reading scripts. It's almost too funny, you want to give...

    Please check out my book!

    Interesting premise, but I don't read much any more, all my extra time is writing until someday I retire... it that ever happens, heh heh. Nice cover, to echo Prince.

    How do you keep writing when the motivation fades?

    My writing chair is wherever I plant my ass, which could be in the Jeep, beneath a tree, a rocker, a recliner, or every now and again an actual desk chair! I'm currently converting the loft into an office, but we'll see how much writing actually gets done there, heh heh. I plopped out about 1k...
