I have been feeling rather meh for the last month or so, ever since I finished my first novel…then realized it just isn’t good enough to query. Or, at least, it’s not good enough to at least try.
Add to this that I worry that the specific manner that I used AI may put the kibosh on it getting published, period and you have several reasons to just start all over again and do something different. (I’ve figured out a new work flow method for writing my novels that will hopefully prevent *any* accusations that I just generating AI slop.)
That feeling my change, but at the moment, I’m going to start from scratch on a few ideas I have rolling around in my head.
It’s just taken me a lot — A LOT — longer than I would have hoped to get back into the grove of things. I hope to do some reading about writing ASAP so I will have a fresh idea as to how to do it “the right way.”
If I was 20 years younger, I would go back to the world of the Stieg Larsson homage that I was working on for all those years…but I just don’t have the time unless the Singularity arrives and suddenly I have 500 more years to live.
