Hello lovely, lovely people! It would seem summer is officially here in my little corner of the PNW, I'm really looking forward to the hotter temperatures! Such lovely warmth. ^_^
Okay, onto things relating to writings and stories! Because that's the real reason you're following along right? Not just because I'm a total weirdo who is actually entertaining outside of story telling? (Yeah, I'm no comedian, I know...)
So, the collab is going pretty well, and led me down a few interesting rabbit holes relating to human genetics. Can you believe the oldest human genetics they've found (as of me posting this blog...that I know of...) is dated to around 800,000 yrs old?!

Okay, that is a ridiculously long link, but it is one of the sources I read into.
Or you can take my word for it.
Anyway! (I think I use that word too much in my blogs and correspondence with people...) I will be posting an installment for Cw/oC and Adrianna, which I think I am nearing an end point on. Also, did ya catch my latest poem? ^_^;; to those of you who follow the poetry, thank you. I appreciate it and hope it's entertaining for you. I'm pretty sure it's not encouraging in anyway, and if it's inspirational then...you're my people! B-)
I think I'll leave it at that! As always, thank you all so much, I appreciate you all so much!

Good day dear readers! I hope all is well with you. It's turning out to be a sunny day here in the PNW. We've had some showers throughout, but nothing too terrible. I much prefer the sunshine though, it's nice and warm. The week seems to have been going a bit slowly, alas I don't have my solitude anymore. People have returned to this place. Ahh well, it is what it is as the saying goes.
Anyway, I have another installment of Adrianna in the queue
Hello all! Today, despite being so wet, overcast, and cold, is a good day! I finally got that pesky PEG tube removed. I'm happy about it because of the struggle in getting the medical team to do something. I literally threatened to rip it out myself. I did a lot of research on how to do it, and when I explained the process I would have taken to my doctor, things moved a little faster. I'm guessing that meant either I would have caused some serious damage, or I found the correct procedure. (For those who don't know, PEG is a tube that helps people who can't consume food orally. At least that's what I needed it for. They are fixed internally in some fashion, mine was a balloon PEG.)
Anyway, that nightmare is finally behind me, and now, hopefully, I can move forward with my life...easier anyway. No more tube causing searing pain and making it almost impossible to stretch normally. I'm excited!
Moving on, I do apologise for getting a new installment of Adrianna out so late in the week. I got caught up with a few other things (other writing projects and house sitting among those 'things') But I will be submitting a new installment following the posting of this blog. Also, I will be posting another installment of Cw/oC. I've been toying with a third part for FMSK too, probably from the daughter's POV, maybe Alex's. Still in the pipe.
To anyone curious about my cat, she's been losing weight healthily, and I found a homemade food mix she likes that I can easily whip up. Sweet potato, carrot, tuna, and bone broth. She still tries to eat the dogs food though.
I did mention my cat once before right? Ah well, I believe I will end it at that.
Thank you all again, I appreciate you so much! Hope your day is going well. As always, feel free to reach out, I only bite collar bones. ^_^v
Good day readers! Hoping this blog finds you well, or at least not terrible. It's a rather rainy, dark, gloomy Wednesday here in the PNW. I was hoping summer was coming in full force but nooooo, it's cold as shit out there and I am on my second pot of coffee. (You read that correctly, 'pot' I am a coffee-holic and proud of it. TYVM.)
I find myself alone in this place, well, alone with three dogs and three cats. It's nice to have people trust me enough to finally leave me alone. ^_^ Time for true crime and coffee.
Lately I've been working on a Co-lab along with my other projects. It's been super fun and I look forward to how it turns out. Working with such a skilled author has been amazing! I've learned quite a bit during this project and it's been amazing. This is the first time I've worked with someone on a writing projects and it's turning out to be a bit bigger than I had initially expected.
As for my other projects... This week is an off week for Cw/oC, there will (as long as I don't get locked up or sent to the hospital) be a new installment next Wednesday. As for Adrianna, I am actually surprised I had an installment to post on Monday. Usually it had been Sunday that I'd post for her story, but I think I like Monday instead.
I'm toying with another short too, not sure I'l get that out anytime soon but it's there, and then there's FMSK, I kinda have an idea for a third part, but actually putting pen to paper would depend on engagement and if those intrusive thoughts keep plaguing me.
Alaska, velcro-kitty is demanding cuddles, and my coffee is getting a little chilled. Time to get on with my day.
As always, I greatly appreciate you all, thank you so much for following me on this writing journey. You are amazing!

Good day! I'll start with an observation, I've noticed a lot of authors blogging about AI, whether they are pro or con. I see a lot of 'con' on here and honestly, I appreciate that. I enjoy reading from a person, it gives a good glance into their inner psyche. I love a peek into the mind of a person. As for myself, I don't want a machine taking, or receiving, credit for my twisted imagination. All my writing is mine (I'm sure you can tell by the terrible editing, obviously not done by a machine).
That said, I do use Google search for things like 'How do I safely wash a silk garment?' or 'Can Botox be safely cooked out of meat?' (A search for 'Finding My Sister's Killer') I'll use it for research purposes, like 'Tell me everything I need to know about prison riots' or even for spelling 'How do I correctly spell experiance??'Yes, I am notorious for placing the letter 'a' in places it shouldn't be.
I believe that AI is a tool, like a calculator. It should never be used in place of one's BRAIN. At least, that is how I feel about it. I won't demonize someone for using it for more than 50% of their writing though, sometimes you need training wheels before you're biking the Tour de France. However to that note, there are so many people out there willing to help too. (I say as I myself am far too anxious and scared of actually ASKING for help. T_T There really is something fundamentally broken about me...)
Alrighty! AI rant done, off the podium for me!
I've recently submitted the second installment of Cw/oC for posting so hopefully it will be up soon. I want to thank everyone for the reception! It seems to be more popular than my other writings (With the exception of FMSK pt2?? Do people not like part 1's? That stat surprised me.) Anyway, this second installment may be a bit slow with moving plot, my hopes for it was a little more explaining (though I think I got lost somewhere as it's similar to how my brother and I would converse about something. We get distracted easily.)
More for my little updating. I'm not sure if I will have an installment for Adrianna's story this coming Sunday. Things are a little off here and I am charged with homesteading for at least two weeks, possibly three. That's on top of other life routines. Yay. The other night there was a coyote close by so this should be fun. Wish me luck...
I suppose I shall end it with that, again I want to thank you all dear readers I appreciate, you are AMAZING! Hope you have a fantastic day!
^_^V
