Writing is not meant to be easy. It is the soul’s work. We are complex people with complex souls. Don’t cheat your soul by trying to cheat at writing. Put the words down one by one. They add up just like your life experiences. You’re made of stories.

BOOM!
I warned about the AI writing threat last year. So in rebuke of it, today I started a production company, and from that I’m forming a publishing imprint of books and graphic novels in SFF, horror, and mystery. These will have no AI writing, no AI art, guaranteed. Stay tuned.
