But for the fact that I live in abject poverty, I could see myself going back to the zine grind by using AI. Whatever I produced would definitely be a zine-zine and without pretense.
What I want to do is use AI to create ink-illustrations instead of photos for the images of the zine. That really fixes a lot of problems. And I already have a printer. So, theoretically, I could cobble together a zine pretty easily and just self-print it.
But. And this is a big but — I’m very, very poor. And I live in the middle of nowhere.
So, there really isn’t much point. It would be fun, and I would get the rush of being a publisher again…but I think it would be better if I just work on my novel. Trying to put out a zine under the conditions I have at the moment would be a pointless distraction from the main agenda of querying as soon as possible.
