Digital Trends: Why writing with ChatGPT actually makes my life harder. “I did try for a good few months to learn how to get some use out of ChatGPT back in 2023 and I went back to it after major updates over the next two years — but my experience never changed. I tried other LLMs too, but even the newer ‘reasoning’ models that blurt out inner monologue before answering still have the same […]

To get things started, here's our first mystery author, saying it in Post-Its: 'CARPENTER, After Dinner Conversation, The Wife… LAND! PICNIC BY THE AUTOBAHN, LYDIA, STONES, THE FOYER ON STAGE.'

But what could it all mean?

I too have a routine of gonging around every day before I write. It's reassuring to know I'm not alone.

Intent for the Week -- Stay Calm and Focused: https://devonellington.wordpress.com/2025/04/21/monday-april-21-2025-intent-for-the-week-stay-calm-and-focused/

I had a yen to watch the series “The Terror” again. I liked both seasons although I liked the first one a little better. But it got me thinking about writing in a genre I love to read, but write very poorly: horror.

I find the most satisfying #horror #writing is plots where it is never clear if the supernatural element is real or in the minds of the characters. And that the characters bring their monsters with them into the story via past trauma, and then project them onto the haunted world.

Requiem
A #poem for #PopeFrancis
in three parts

i.

Mary most fair, Mother of God,
pray for the faithful departed,
for those who must tread
the final path, constant hearted,

back to the sweet source
from which all of us came:
They’ve run their full course,
stand as one in your Son’s name.

Debating sharing some of my older, but smaller FanFiction writings here. Currently Elder Scrolls based, as I have struggled to get "into" other games for long enough to be creative.

It may get my creative juices going again, alongside my technical ones. One day, I may have some original works whether written, drawn or some other form to share.
