So it’s Saturday night, which means the end of the work week for me. How did I do with my goal to write 10 AI-assisted stories? Not terrible: I did manage to write 6 stories, at least through the AI part. I also burned through about 40k word on my Sudowrite plan—obviously, I didn’t include all of those words, but Sudowrite charges you for all the words it generates, whether you use them or not.
Six stories falls short of my goal of ten, but I’ve learned quite a lot from the experience, and feel confident (and eager) enough to move on to long-form fiction now. However, I should probably take another week to rework and finish most of these stories, just to see how it works. I’m sure I will learn a lot from that as well.
Here are all of the AI-assisted stories I’ve written so far:
- Quantum Worlds: A near future SF story about a struggling science fiction magazine editor who gets swamped with AI-assisted short stories, until he figures out how to turn it around and use AI to make his magazine successful.
- The Knight and the Half-Goblin: A fantasy story about a half-goblin half-orc, a pacifist dragon, and a struggling hedge knight, and how they use their unlikely skills and friendship to save the land from a rising dark lord.
- The Last Voyage of the Pioneer: A space opera story about a clandestine mission to find the Voyager and Pioneer probes and recover or destroy them before an invading alien race uses them to locate humanity’s homeworld.
- The Unforgotten Dream: A flash fiction piece about a woman who lives her life backwards, and a man who recognizes her.
- A Mother’s Last Goodbye: A zombie story about a mother who gets bitten while her three year-old child is taking a nap.
- On Wings of Redemption: A fantasy story about an ancient dragon who has to overcome a curse to save the land from the wicked sorcerer who controls him.
- The Lonely Planet: A space opera story about a planet that gains sentience after humans terraform it, but is almost destroyed by contact with an ancient artificial intelligence.
- The Wingwoman: A near future apocalyptic story about a professional wingman who gets approached by a woman who wants help being a mother. It’s… different.
- The Princess and the Professor: A humorous fantasy story about how Jordan Peterson uses his 12 rules for life to defeat a dragon and save a princess.
- Alex-29XT: A prequel to my military SF story “Lizzie-99XT.”
- On the Eve of the Flood: A near future apocalyptic dystopian story about… a lot of things. It started with a really vivid dream I had, and I didn’t know how to finish it, so I just played with it in Sudowrite until a plot appeared. Hard to describe.
These are all at various stages of production, though, and most of them need a lot of work—or to be completely reworked, now that I’ve figured out my process more or less.
Not bad for two months of writing, though.
Why was your mark of the beast post taken down?
I decided to take it down. It’s kind of a dark post and I didn’t want it to be taken the wrong way.
Basically it comes down to this: if DeSantis wins the (R) nomination and RFK wins the (D) nomination—which is not an impossible outcome—the US deep state will probably seek to cancel the elections, since neither of those candidates is acceptable to them. One possible way they could do this is to engineer a financial collapse and a credit freeze, then use that crisis to push a whole host of things on us, such as 1. removing Joe Biden from office (since he has outlived his usefulness), 2. suspending the constitution, 3. “temporarily” postponing the elections, 4. installing someone like Janet Yellen as “temporary” president—which isn’t as far-fetched as it seems, since as Treasury Secretary, she’s 5th or 6th in the line of succession, and 5. fully transitioning us into a CBDC (central bank digital currency).
I could see a scenario like this one unfolding sometime in September of 2024—that is, if they haven’t already rolled out a CBDC by then, since our current banking crisis is starting to boil over and may not stay tapped down for that long. A CBDC would fulfill every aspect of the mark of the beast described in Revelation, especially if paired with biometrics of some kind. The reason we would go along with such a scenario is because it will be the only way for us to get our money back from the banks, after they all close down.
This scenario I’ve outlined would also fulfill the Ezra’s Eagle prophecy in 2 Esdras 11-12, and elements of the White Horse prophecy. Of course, both of those are apocryphal, but I find it interesting nonetheless.
I wouldn’t put anything past the deep state, whether or not RD and RFK are the nominees.
