I’ve got ADHD, MDD, and severe anxiety. Does this mean I need AI now to come up with and create my own books and my own covers? Are my books and covers perfect? No. Far from it. But they’re mine. And I love them.

The greats are always a good place to start: Asimov, Lovecraft, etc. But I started with Hitchhiker's Guide and Star Trek, and I honestly haven't really read the greats. So what do I know? Lmao.

I think for fantasy, you need an idea of what your magic/lack of magic system is. You don't necessarily need to know the why, but definitely the how.

I'm TN McCauley. I find an element of my work fundamental is...I guess starting with some sort of action. Whether that's someone shouting someone at the protagonist or just the protagonist doing something, I find it fun to build the character's identity during the story instead of up front.

Ever had someone say something to you that you can’t let go? Had a friend compare Kindle publishing to their fanfics. Like I know it’s hard to write fanfics. I’ve done it. But at least they’re established characters. But trying to indie publish is honestly harder. Fanfics aren’t making a living.

Accidentally started a new short story for my compellation that will eventually be released. (I'm giving it a few months so it's not so close to my last book.) I am also heading off to my weekly writing group in about an hour. I love it because it gives me motivation and an "excuse" to write weekly.

Meet my newest fabric art creation: Gargargowen the Destroyer and Decorator. I designed and hand-sewed him. When Gargargowen haunts a home, he devours all of the furniture and decor that he finds uninspiring, and he redecorates until he feels satisfied with the space. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of Gargargowen. He's a fabric art ghost who's all head. He's white with about 20 black eyes of various sizes. He has an open mouth with six sharp teeth. He has two curly white wisps coming out of the top of his head, sort of like horns. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.Here's a lovely photo of Gargargowen where he's resting on my palm.

Rearrange my short-story compellation, and figure out the cover for it along with the title for "The Mysteries of Life, Death, and Monsters" series. Maybe "Tales of Life, Death, and Monsters"? Or change it up to "Tales of Love, Death, and Monsters"? Meh, I'll run it by someone this week.

A mood board of nine images, some with torn paper edges, arranged in an uneven grid. From left to right, top to bottom:

A warm brown photograph of an old mining tunnel. A broken window in the dark with bright flames licking out. The spine of an old leather-bound book with ornate metal accents. An unfocused human figure in a dark cloak and hood against a bright sky, reaching towards the viewer; their hand is in sharp focus and stained black with soot. A dark brick church shot from below with an iron statue in the foreground. A simple black and white photo of a bird carving with the lights and darks inverted. A blue-toned photo of a steam engine emerging from fog. A black and white close up photo of a leather archery quiver of arrows. A photo of a man in a navy blue, old fashioned military uniform loading a black powder pistol; his face is cropped out, showing only his hands and arms.


Above the arrow quiver, the text "Nevarine" is overlaid in light, warm tan, with "a novel" beneath it in slightly darker blue-gray.

A week into her new life the leaders of the society are cursed, and Alice is framed.

MILK DRUNK VENOM 76k Words
Near Future Dystopian America

Even though they took the baby with them, I’m still making milk. I don’t know how else to use the stuff, so a few times a day, I use a hand pump and give my milk to Ginger, my only companion. All the chickens have given up living and the cows and goats, unlike me, stopped making milk, so they were sold long before my family left. Every morning I make a porridge with the grain still left in storage and boiled water and try to salvage what I can from the tiny vegetable garden. I wait for my body to decide it does not want to waste calories on milk anymore, but my breasts are still full and prickly, the blue veins prominent, and the glands on the underside heavy, smooth, and hard like river stones.
I wish there was more food to give Ginger, but there’s nothing but my milk and the few mice she’s able to catch because not many wild animals survive nowadays. Outside the farmhouse is a sea of light green grass, waving in the breeze that carries yellow dust. When I first arrived here, there were flies that liked to attack my eyes, but even they’re gone, and now it’s just grass, long and empty of useful calories.

From Butterfly on a Wheel. As disasters unfold across 2021, Nicky and Jeanette find a song they wrote in 2005 to be alarmingly relevant. Cue the image of a red sun glowing in a darkened sky above a burning hellscape... #WritingPrompt
“Damn, look at this.”

I didn’t want to see what Nicky had on his phone. Disaster porn, piped in from the West Coast, which was burning from California to British Columbia. But because it was Nicky holding the phone, I looked and saw the horrors—blackened hills, obliterated towns, a rain of ash from the skies—all sequenced to the accompaniment of “Blood Red Sun.”

“A tune whose moment has finally come,” I said. “How does it feel to be ahead of your time, yet again?”

“Shitty?”

“Always does.”

Yet we watched, then watched it again, spellbound by the present we’d prophesied in some lyrics from 2005.
