I think I'm ready to share this now. For the past couple of weeks, I've been slowly putting together a little project for my website that I like to call a non-linear mosaic story. If you're interested in dark fantasy stuff, you can check it out here. tewoodard.com/xenschet

Very much so, yes. The pedestal that some people put AI on makes it seem like a god they're worshipping. That observation led me to explore the concept of a dystopia with AI at its center, and what would happen if that AI developed an ego. #PitchDis

There's an instance of wildlife and a stray cat. Pets in this story's universe are rare, primarily due to economic factors with most people living in or just above poverty. Aside from sanctuaries or underdeveloped areas, there just aren't many animals left. #PitchDis

I'm definitely an overwriter. In the few instances of submissions I've done, I've always had to painstakingly go through the manuscripts and cut words until I just barely managed to get under the limit. #PitchDis

I'm a pantser through and through. I have my main characters and a scene or two I wanna hit at most. I tend to have an end in mind, though it can change. The destination isn't hewn in stone if the journey ends up going somewhere else. #PitchDis

#PitchDis #writingcommunity I'm definitely a pantser. I love getting a fantastic idea, feel the rush of excitement and dive into the story with absolutely no clue where I might wind up.

I don't exactly have a favorite writing spot, no. My life's a little chaotic, so I just try to get some writing in whenever and wherever I can. I abandoned any pretense of a schedule or idealized writing scenario long ago. #PitchDis

#PitchDis A bit about the main character of the book.. She's a champion bull rider, and owns her own small ranch. She has three dairy cows she sometimes hand milks to help with her mental health. All three are named off the characters from "Golden Girls"🩷

I checked out the hotel suite. Peered into cupboards. Pressed buttons. It looked like a suite in any London hotel. No microgravity. No round windows or built-in furniture. Not even a steam-shower. Why come all the way to the moon and have rooms that look exactly the same as home? #WIPsnips "same"

#PitchDis day 4 one thing I always return to is homecoming, particularly the reality of not being able to go home or the possibility that home has changed without you around. as someone who struggles to identify where I’m “from,” it helps to explore how characters might deal with that

Simmons is the zealous leader of the "Children of Calypso" group. He upholds their practices without question and never turns away a prospective new member. But he may be a little too good at what be does, as he begins to draw the attention of others who would sooner dismantle his congregation.

My stories typically center around a god-like being, either in the form of a typical eldritch deity or, more recently, man-made entities that come to be worshipped as gods. When those aren't the focus, it's usually some form of obsession. #PitchDis

I've written off and on since I was about 13 years old. I'd always enjoyed escaping to other worlds, and I found that creating those worlds myself was much more fun. But it wasn't until a couple years ago that I really took writing seriously, as in actually seeing projects through. #PitchDis

Hello, my name is T. E. Woodard, and I'm a horror author with a soft spot for poetry. I've suffered from the spicy ultrarapid cycling flavor of bipolar disorder for about half of my life, but writing has been one of the few things that helps keep me grounded. #PitchDis

All of this to say that baby steps are still steps. There were some days I wrote a single sentence, others where I wrote from dawn 'til dusk, and tons in between where I wrote nothing due to burnout. Starting is the hardest part. If you can do that, you can do anything.

I realized today that it's been about a year since I started taking my writing journey seriously, so I decided to put together a little year in review for my own progress. When I think about it, it doesn't seem like much, but now that I've compiled everything, I'm kind of blown away.
