Aaaand I just missed... again

I find my flow state more easily knowing this is my writing spot. Now I just need to find other time slots where I can link my music and arty creativity to. I had a 22 inch drawing pen and tablet that I bought in 2021 give up the ghost suddenly near the end of l...

shiny new things in the sunlight

 Recently David Lynch passed away. In several of his videos and masterclasses he mentions the value of getting ideas or catching ideas.  In my workings on my first novel I've noticed how querying certain scientific or tech things through ChatGPT has not only provided or confirmed ideas, or things I wanted to know, but it, ChatGPT, has also provided me new avenues of thought and spawned extra story ideas.  Its an interesting time to be a creative...
