Hey, I managed to update my header. 😜 Given the amount of stuff going on at the moment, I consider that a win. I'll try to do an actual post this week. 🙃

One downside to being a prof. student at ❤️: I want to give my characters jobs/hobbies I know NOTHING about, setting myself up for a 🗻of research to finish the book. 😜

Garden space is coming along--the lavender died 🙁 but the cucumber seems to be doing well. The regrowing lettuce (love those "living" greens in the grocery) should do better in the midsummer heat with its little beach shade. 🙂

#WritingWednesday #amwriting #AuthorLife
#WritingWednesday #AmWriting #AuthorLife As a writer, ChatGPT sucks. Seriously. However, as a brainstorming partner and prompt generator, it's not bad at all. Since it's really little more than a conversational data miner. A couple hours' playing and I actually have a rough sketch for a new story. The trick: Don't ask it to give you ONE thing. Give it a direction and ask it for 3-5 options YOU then choose from. For example: "Give me five options for a character sketch of an older lady who will run the kitchen end of [MC1]'s café and has made it her life's mission to find [MC1] the love of his life." Two of the sketches were interesting enough that I decided to go with a DUO of ladies, one doing the lunch fare and the other specializing in breads/pastries. Poor [MC1] is at the mercy of them both. AI should HELP writers, not do all the work for them. NOTE: Don't rely on the AI to remember everything you decided to use. Damn thing couldn't even remember my chosen working title by the end ...

Ahh, #Summer . Loving cooler temps this year. Cleaning up my side yard, setting raised beds even if I'm container planting this year (so I don't HAVE to do containers NEXT year). Also space/time to sit/enjoy the most gorgeous color combo ever. #WritingCommunity #AuthorLife #gayromance

One of my favorite storytellers is British comedian Bob Mortimer. His appearances on "Would I Lie To You?" are EPIC. VERY rarely does the other team guess correctly whether he's truthing or lying (b/c Bob's truths are absolutely nuts).

#TeaserThursday

Teaser from a work in progress (the most finished of them), YELLOW BIRD. I'm up to my eyeballs in a proofreading job this week, so not much getting done on any of them.

#gayromance #amwriting #WritingCommunity #writerscommunity
He should go. Settle the very drunk pretty man into bed and go. Come back tomorrow and get his car fixed. And Gavin would, once he made sure Connor wasn’t going to fall on his face. Or start arguing again. The first argument took place as they weaved their way from the club to the garage. Connor had spotted Gavin’s car halfway down the copse of woods. “That yours? Le’s get your gear ‘n get t’ the house.” “I don’t need charity.” Gavin got a better grip around Connor’s waist. “And you’re in no shape for company.” Connor grinned, all imp and pure intoxication. “I got t’ key. An’ unless you’re goin’ pocket divin’, you ain’t gettin’ in my house ‘til you got your gear.” God help me. Bad enough Gavin was still relatively sober, thanks to Solomon the Stingy, but Connor set things in his mind he had no business thinking over a man too drunk to show a little common sense at the moment. Especially since Gavin had a hard-and-fast personal rule about bed partners knowing clearly what they were agre...

Spring in the Rockies, my soul wants to garden. But given that my 🌳👍 is tenuous at best, I focus on MAYBE not killing a half-dozen container plants 🪴🪴🪴.

Thank the 🌌for flower bulbs -- I need to get more tulips & iris planted for next year.
