It is very kind of the #midjourney discord-bot to be down right now, since I need to be writing 2,000 words for #nanowrimo :)
Just one Fling of #nanowrimo tonight, but it's 2000 words! Total: 17,661
NaNoWriMo, Fling Thirteen https://ceoln.wordpress.com/2022/11/08/nanowrimo-fling-thirteen/
Second and last Fling of the day! #nanowrimo total so far: 15,623
NaNoWriMo 2022, Fling Twelve
https://ceoln.wordpress.com/2022/11/07/nanowrimo-2022-fling-twelve/
Here is some Delicious Soup as I work on the second 1000 words for the day! #nanowrimo #midjourney
Okay, I'm back. :) A bit over 1K words, so a brief break before diving in again.
Alissa begins her journey! #nanowrimo 14,600+ words total
https://ceoln.wordpress.com/2022/11/07/nanowrimo-2022-fling-11/
Okay NO MORE MASTODON until the day's word count is >1K. Discipline!!
Zero words so far today (I DEFINITELY blame #mastodon!), but I should be able to crank out a quick 2K after dinner.
Right? :)
An #introduction:
Bachelor's degree in #Philosophy from Princeton, 1981, which makes me ?good at ?discussion?.
#Zen #Buddhist #Pantheist #atheist
#Radical (for the US) #politics, in that I think power should be more fairly distributed than it is now,.
Master's in #compsci from Pace, 1985ish; professional #coder for like 40 years, mostly for #IBM and now for #google (all opinions strictly my own, of course, not theirs!), mostly on the #systems side. #cpp and anything else really, they're just languages. :)
Greatly enjoy #writing, and I've done a number of #nanowrimo novels (working on the dozenth in 2022). Have also greatly enjoyed playing with #gpt3.
I have no visual skills, but lately I've been producing thousands of images using #midjourney and a few with other text-to-image tools. The future is wild!
Second Fling of the day; #nanowrimo count now 13422, woot!
NaNoWriMo 2022, Fling Ten https://ceoln.wordpress.com/2022/11/06/nanowrimo-2022-fling-ten/
Okay, I will now stop procrastinating by setting up my #mastodon tent, and get back to #nanowrimo , where I need to write order 1000 words.
Probably Steve sitting in Kristen's #virtuality , thinking about how hard it sometimes is to communicate, especially to someone you care about.
Just to mention: I'm combining #nanowrimo and #midjourney this year, in that each Fling (okay, chapter) of the book this year is headed by an image I made in MJ, and the words are (to a greater or lesser extent) inspired by or reflective of the image.
Some of the images are more or less random (with a prompt like "illustration for chapter nine"), others are more specifically created.
Yay crossovers. :)
