Toronowrimo, a Month in Review
Hello Dreamers. Wix Studio gave me tons of these November is over and now its December, so now that I have to worry about Christmas and New Years Eve, I would like to reflect on Toronowrimo. Its a good challenge to get words out. After all, no one has time to spend 10 years of their lives writing their magnum opus. Did I Make It? I wrote everyday for most days of the week. After all, to reach the 50,000 word goal you have to pump out about 1,667 words per day for the 30 da

Shock in the Darkness
Based on Canada'a Golgotha by Francis Derwent Wood It's the dead of night and you are sound asleep inside the trench you dug.

Why AI Won't be Managing this Site
Hello Dreamers. AI generated image. I promise there is a point to it Let me start by saying, unlike a lot of individuals in my profession as starving self-published author, that I do not hate AI. AI, like any computational technology or paradigm, is an extension of the mind. Just as early computing helped make math easier and less prone to error, AI can be leveraged to assist in many tasks. Yes, I am aware it isn't without growing pains, such as programming jobs disappeari
