A: Yes. My brain with my ideas in how fast they are popping up would overwhelm the artist had I commissioned. The ideas have been popping up for over a solid month over Kineti and his universe, due to budgetary constraints and lack of a personal team of artists - yes, AI was used for the images they were done with Google Flow - Nano Banana Pro.
A: Actual story writing and development? They help proofread. I use the gen-AI images to get a lock on who I am writing about to put a face to them. I don't follow the edits that they prompt. I stick true to me. It is an original story.
A: Very rapidly. I outlined a 4 part story arc, named them, put titles to them, and started piecing together the first book - writing wise. I'd already set scenes, names, locations, to make it easier within the first few days.
Within the first week? I set a cohesive soundtrack to accompany my story writing.
First 3 weeks? That 4 part became 5, the 5th part got its soundtrack laid out in 4 hours. I already knew which direction I wanted to go.
A: All good things come to those who wait....I'm updating the progress as I write, no spoilers. When the parts are due to be released fully - I will announce them on the homepage.
