Tysm!! πŸ₯° it’s been super fun to write so far πŸ’™
One of the reasons I’m making it a sci-fi romance was so I can really hon in on the characters and their experience. Cal learning to β€œbecome human” while exploring his own process of what feeling and life means to him. Really excited to share this one 😁

What does it mean to be alive?

Meet Cal and Vivienne, the heart of my sci-fi romance ALIVE, a story about a human and an AI learning what it means to feel, to want, to choose.

I’m obsessed πŸ₯Ή how do they look?
