    AI, assistance, how much is too much

    To note: I was once lectured that AI and grammar/spelling checkers are not the same things. Granted, that may have changed since that conversation. If you're just using a spelling checker, then you shouldn't even need to mention it. It's just a streamlined look into a dictionary for help. Be...

    Star Trek Ramblings

    Popping in to say My favorite characters are Spock (Original. I'm not a fan of how they are writing Ethan Peck's version) Data Picard Worf (Okay, hold on. I think TNG was just my favorite series.) Odo Garak (I think you mentioned him earlier and my mom and I loved him. </3) Saru (although I...

    AI, assistance, how much is too much

    Finding a writing group will also benefit you beyond helping with spelling and grammar. ;) Aside from beta readers, a critique partner is someone who stays by your side through multiple phases of the writing journey and can help with all sorts of things along the way, so long as you offer your...

    AI, assistance, how much is too much

    I'm curious why no one is mentioning beta readers or editors. AI is basically a bad version of those. Editors you do have to pay for, but many beta readers are just readers looking to help writers out for free. I upgraded my services to a paid platform because I realized the intensity of my...

    Elf and Asia Culture

    This is the first I heard of elves being connected to Asia, actually! I wouldn't think it, since they seem to be stereotypically tall and white from my perspective. However, long hair, flowy robes, and calm, peaceful culture most interested in beauty and etiquette do connect to historical China...

    I found a silly way to use ChatGPT (In an inconsequential way)

    All prompts are equal in my eyes. :/ Or rather, the small, quick prompts add up too quickly to be waved off as fine for me. Granted, I'm also the kind of person that will forgo using plastic straws if I can. 🤷‍♀️

    I continue to avoid using any more AI until ethics and environmental protections can be implemented around it. 😅🙃

    Do you ever just wanna, hang out with your characters?

    Lol, now I'm trying to figure out what Esu's pokemon team would be. I'm pretty sure I figured it out ages ago, but... Maybe a Growlithe, Hitmontop, Aipom, Magikarp (he absolutely would root for the underdog)... others... Esu is now stealing a shiny magikarp from Professor Palm.

    Do you ever just wanna, hang out with your characters?

    My character Esu would like to meet Professor Palm, get a shiny pokemon—(Esu, what is your favorite pokemon??)—and give the shiny eevee a few head scritches.

    Do you ever wonder 'silly' things about food?

    I have discovered a new thing today. Thank you!

    Plot Bunnies

    Ah, see, what I mean with my plot bunnies are just things I will probably never write (because I am hyper focused on my main series and cannot keep shoving knew ideas into it. *slaps back of my hand for discipline*) Just like, extra ideas where I'm like, "Oh, that's cool. Someone should write...

    Plot Bunnies

    yesss! Like these! The werewolf one reminds me of Howl's Moving Castle, actually. And some other show I watched that reminded me of Howl's Moving Castle. XD Kill the main bad guy in every chapter sounds like so much fun. Someone please write this! XD

    Do you ever just wanna, hang out with your characters?

    One character would be very upset that I didn't give him powers. He's also the most hyper of the group. He's also one of the only characters my betas have said was unrealistic, but every unrealistic thing about him is things I literally do, so I think my betas just don't have my brand of ADHD...

    Do you ever wonder 'silly' things about food?

    1) I recently read about a plant that is used to stun fish to make them easier to catch, which was discovered by accident. I think it was mullein? I think they were just discarding parts of the plant and saw how it was affecting the fish. Could have been the same concept with aloe vera! 2)...
