There are so many arguments for and against generative AI in writing, art, and other creative endeavors, I can’t even pretend to have considered them all. However, I have collected enough observations to formulate a hypothesis. I also invite you, my peer reviewers, to let me know what conclusions are problematic and what confounders I failed to account for.

Writing Update- March 2019
It’s been a productive last few months, and I have some big news to share.
The first piece of news is that I’ve just had a sci-fi short story accepted in a reprint anthology titled Final Frontier. The editor, C. Stuart Hardwick, reached out to me a while back to see if I had something to contribute. The anthology will be released in time for the 50 year Anniversary of Apollo 11, and Stuart requested I submit a story that “celebrated the indomitable spirit that carried mankind to the Moon.”
Quantum Quietus- Free story
As mentioned in a previous post, my short story, "Quantum Quietus," won 1st place in the 2017 N3F short story contest. They have since published it in Eldritch Science. Since there were no terms of exclusivity, I am free to publish here for you all to read. I hope you enjoy the free story!

Writing Update-October
It is Fall, a beautiful time of year in Seattle. All the leaves are changing color, and the days are either rainy, sunny, or a bit of both. I wish I could blame the weather for the late writing update this month, but the truth is, I just forgot. I do have some fun blog posts planned, but you will have to wait till next week to see them.

They say that everyone has a story inside them, waiting to be told. As writers, the stories don’t wait patiently; they struggle and fight, driving us to distraction and sleepless nights until we put that pen to paper. But why must we tell stories at all? Where does this urge come from?
