Monday is my birthday and, as such, I feel like I have to really focus on finishing the third draft of this novel by around July 22. That’s 20th anniversary of my first trip to South Korea that lasted about three-odd years. This dovetails really well with some other things, like the fact that The Fourth Turning and the rise of AI may make all my hard work on this novel very, very mood.
The heroine of my novel has a sleeve tattoo that resembles this one, even though I thought up the idea first.
And that doesn’t even begin to address the possibility that somehow, some way someone my “steal a creative march” on me pretty soon.
So, as such, I need to buckle down. I need to really focus on giving my life some structure ASAP. It’s the only way I’m going to wrap this third draft up before the entire world comes to an end or AI generates all human art.
