It's been a minute since I did a livestream. I've had a few hectic weeks. But now I'm back to writing again. Join me and the others from the Fantasy Tavern in tomorrow's episode where we're going to figure out how to create Golden Oldies in YOUR world!

How to create Golden Oldies in YOUR World!
YouTube video by ilse MJ Mul How to create Golden Oldies in YOUR World!

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms
Baby, yeah
ο»Ώ
Going back to the eighties, the golden oldies... What are golden oldies in YOUR world? And what are they in Tergaenae? Let's figure it out together tomorrow!

Ah, yes, that might be indeed 😁
Although the roads in the small dikes might be comparable 😁

Nice! I've been to Glasgow and Edinburgh for short vacations. I hope to be able to go back someday. There are so many places I'd like to visit in Scotland!

Thank you for your compliments about the Netherlands :D We have a nice country :)

No matter WHO the original author is and how much you dislike their views, there is NO EXCUSE for plagiarism and stealing an author’s words. I’m actually disgusted an β€˜author’ in the community would not only blatantly plagiarise a trad book word for word πŸ§΅β¬‡οΈ

Is this for real? Sheesh, I'm so glad I'm Dutch living in the Netherlands. This is appalling!

My WIP is growing slowly. I'm not keeping track of my wordcount, because I have way more important things to keep track, like all the foreshadowing elements, the intrigue, the scheming, the politics, where which characters and items are, etc. Progress = progress on all accounts πŸ˜€

I understand, but might I suggest an alternative approach? If you have the feeling that something might be AI, first look into the other works from the artist and into the artist self. In this case it would become very obvious that Andy will never use AI in his art.

an image of the squirtle squad in the original pokemon anime. five squirtles all wearing sunglasses are lined up along a dirt road, cutting off the path while they're being identified by someone holding a pokedex at the bottom of the image. the image is captioned "the squad and I heard you were beating yourself up by comparing your progress to another person's accomplishments. You better give yourself some damn credit before we use hydro pump on your ass."

the end goal of this obsession with productivity is to enable anyone (with a paid subscription) to ""create"" games at the press of a button

I think pro GenAI ppl would genuinely consider this a good thing

I see it removing humanity and meaning from creative work

#WriteSky #writingcommunity #fantasyauthor has anyone of you had a sit-down with one of their characters yet about a location THEY think they're supposed to be, instead of the meeting location that was previously discussed?
Currently mine is a bit stubborn on that.

Au Maroc, une fΓͺte de l’AΓ―d sans sacrifice de mouton Pour la premiΓ¨re fois en prΓ¨s de trente ans, le roi a appelΓ© Γ  renoncer Γ  cette pratique en raison d’une sΓ©cheresse persistante ayant provoquΓ© une baisse du cheptel.

This is also climate change.
Tomorrow is Eid al-Kabir. Traditionally animals are slaughtered to mark the event. But this year the King of Morocco wants to put a pause on tradition, because climate change has affected grazing conditions.

I have a lot of anger about the state of the world, but I don’t shout about it online. Anyone who’s read STARS AND BONES, DESCENDANT MACHINE, or FUTURE’S EDGE will know that I channel it into my writing, where it smoulders behind the narrative like background radiation.

Oh, I LOVED this show! Too bad I can't watch it anywhere anymore, at least as far as I know. Golden Oldies for the win!

Luckily Andy's work will never be AI art. It's always HUMAN made art πŸ˜€πŸ²πŸ‰

Check out all of Andy's work and you will recognize it all for what it really is:
HUMAN MADE exceptional works of art, this little dragon included!
I know Andy utterly hates GenAI.
Do some research before you accuse a HUMAN artist of sh*t like this!

If you're looking for an artist who makes amazing art of dragons and paleo art, check out Andy! Here's one of his HUMAN MADE examples. πŸ‘‡
I love Andy's eye for detail and the things he comes up with from even the tiniest inspiration!

This ABSOLUTELY NOT AI. Andy is a true HUMAN artist. You'd better look at all his work and recognize his handmade art (like with pen & paper and original hand drawn in a digital program) for what it is: HUMAN MADE ART. Andy literally hates GenAI!

Well, just as I thought I had corrected the beginning of my second chapter to a proper beginning, one of my characters throws a wrench in the wheel. Well, technically maybe a stick.. or a staff.. or something... I don't think #Tergaene has wrenches :D
Anyways, how was your writing today? #amwriting?
