Mega City Projects Gone Wrong

I came across a video on the mega city projects. There’s a lot of ambitious talk about building crazy cities and all of them seem awesome on the surface, but a lot of them forget about human nature. Someone needs to revisit Hershey, Pennsylvania, which got its start as a private town for Milton Hershey’s employees. It’s one of the few “private” towns that were successful. But what made it…

No Place like Utopia

Are we in a Utopia, or a Dystopia? This is a great video on the perspective of what Utopia really is. The word itself means “Nowhere” suggesting how impossible it is to have such a place. Usually, one person’s utopia is another person’s dystopia. If you were to ask anyone who benefited from the system, they would not have any problem with it. Usually these are the people who idealize the past.…

It'll Take Some Time

Daily! I said Daily! And I haven’t posted more than once since the first of the year! It seems I dove headfirst into doing some beginning of the year organizing, so it’s taking longer than I expected. But here… Here is a post.

Happy New Year To You!

Happy anniversary to me! Yesterday marked 25 years, marriage in 1999. It wasn’t a big wedding, and it’s obvious I had a family member take pictures. It didn’t matter, we were in it for the long haul and now 25 years later, we are still going strong. It’s a New Year, and I’m not making any promises or new year’s resolutions, but I hope to be posting more as part of my daily routine – even if it’s…

My Personal AI policy

I know some people are eager to throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to AI. And there are others who are just dying to see it take over the world (and maybe replace our incompetent politicians?) I’m more about using AI as a tool, and I’ve used it several times for world-building. I haven’t used it for my book covers because it actually took longer to get an image just right than my…

I screwed up

So I posted the hardcover, and I realized too late that I had somehow missed the “h” in Elizabeth. So the title is “Elizabet: Heritage Journey: A series Collection.” Amazon won’t let me change it in KDP or Author Central. The only way I can change it is to unpublish it and try again. After thinking if it’s worth the trouble, I realize that it might not necessarily be a bad thing. The Natisiens…

Busy. Maybe a little too Busy.

The past few weeks have been crazy-busy, but what else is new? Since it was hot, I had to be out more often, making sure the chickens had water and stay cool. And I’ve been organizing the kitchen more. It’s nice to not have to look for something to make myself a basic breakfast. But as much as I haven’t been blogging, I haven’t been writing much, either. It’s partly a form of writer’s block, and…

Under Maintenance

Not this site, but Zherosha.com is out for a day. It was late by the time I backed everything up and reinstalled the CMS. I need to sleep occasionally. I should have it up and running sometime tomorrow.

AI as a Tool

Yes, I used ChatGPT, this time to help with world building. Zherosha is built around an energy source that’s created by using what the Inersiens call “stabilizer.” I wanted to see what chatGPT has to say about it, except I used “Ingredient X” instead. (the chat: https://chat.openai.com/share/130667a6-669a-472d-83d5-5d520f3fc394) While I still don’t think ChatGPT is a crappy writer, it’s not bad…
