Itโs appalling that, now in the age of AI, writers have to haveโproofโ that they wrote their work themselves so they wonโt be accused of anything. Well, here is mine. Ioriginally wrote INTERBORN as a screenplay in 2024, and the first couple of scenes are definitely something ๐ซ
Writers celebrate the finished book. But donโt forget the version of you who almost gave up halfway through, rewrote the same chapter, doubted the story, and still kept going.
That version deserves credit too.
Iโm not very good with technology, so I had to number my pages at the bottom because I was having this issue.
UPDATE: Iโve been actively revising my manuscript, and Iโve officially extended it to 85K words! ๐
Tropes & Vibes: HELL
I wanted to portray Hell as chaotic, but still as a place with a hierarchical system, much like Heaven. Hell has its own rules, but it thrives on trades, exchanges, and bargains. Pain is currency, even among its own inhabitants.
Tropes & Vibes: HEAVEN
I wanted to break the stereotype of Heaven and portray it as a system built on rigid rules and an obsession with perfection. In this version of Heaven, everyone is expected to fit into a predetermined role, and those who are different are seen as a threat
I just discovered this and it made me so happy ๐
Apparently, Iโm the first internationally recognized celebrity artist born in tiny Nevelsk, Sakhalin Island, so I made a little bit of history ๐ฅน๐

I don't know who needs to hear this today (I do), but the vast majority of the time one spends writing a book isn't spent in writing the book, but rather reading, dreaming, running, walking, experimenting, restarting, writing things that gradually bring you closer to the book.
Every day, we choose the way we see our life, whether we will be grateful or negative about what we think is good and not good. When we begin to focus on the negative, we see more negative and allow that negative perspective to rule over us. Sometimes you just need to get a new outlook and see the blessings around you. It might be as simple as writing down all the things that are good in your life.
You need to write more.
Without AI. Without templates. Without knowing what you're writing about. Just you, an idea, and enough time to do the difficult cognitive work necessary to reach true understanding. If you don't, your ability to think will drastically decline.
