I miss getting legit fan mail. Sometimes I wonder if spam filters are blocking them and letting AI through.

Congrats! I just finished the first draft of a new story myself! It's such a rush at the end of a long project :D

Thanks!

I mean, I'm pretty sure I have some light arthritis, but totally worth it ;)

This includes artwork, music, writing, and voice work. This includes 3D models and computer code. So for the love of humanity, STOP USING GEN AI IN YOUR ARTISTIC ENDEAVORS.

To my knowledge, there isn't a single artistic Generative AI out there that has been trained through ethical means that didn't involve stealing intellectual property.

Yes, this still means that if all you do is use Gen AI for conceptual artwork that is never used in the final product, you are still a party to stealing intellectual property.

I'm so glad you're back! I started listening to the new story this morning on my way into work 😀

I've wondered about finding an alternative, especially after recent frustrations. Only thing I need to figure out is, I don't just write my stories on Word, I make the full publication file for self-publishing print editions in word. Here's hoping alternatives have the same advanced features...

It varies, but I seem to average 1 per year. I managed to get out 3 in one year (only good thing that really came out of pandemic), but that was after a couple years without publishing.
