Welcome aboard Jon,

This site is great if you use it correctly. We have very good writers and a few who have published. So, find the ones that you can work with and learn. I keep a "tips" file that I refer back to.

Have thick skin. People will make comments about your work that you might not appreciate, so keep what makes sense. But remember that you have to like your story at the end of the day. That was some advice given to me.

Do the contests. They're great. They stretch my mind.

Put more info into your Profile if you want. I want to know what your genre is and if you have a tech background or history (just a hobby?) or whatever.

I generally use the In-line Reviews. So, if I read a story of yours, please comment on at least a few of my comments so that I know what you're looking for. Some people aren't worried about -ly adverbs! And I hope to remember that. Many of the really good writers don't bother much on some technical grammar details.

Again, welcome aboard

From what I learned, MS Word's editing is AI driven as well. I personally believe that AI will never generate creative ideas so it's usable as a tool for things like editing.

That is a great hobby. There has to be a few stories you could write based on the ham radio and your programming experiences.
Writing is another great hobby. I hope to someday publish a book, but I know that writing will help keep my neurons firing even if I never publish. And I enjoy it.

Keep on writing and hamming... I know that's not the proper way of saying it... what is the proper way to say something like - keep on hamming?

That fixed it. Nice video. And nice cabinets but nothing is in them. Better fill them up in preparation of the next blizzard.

I tried the link:
404. That’s an error.
The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

And then it threw me out of TNBW.

Hopefully, he had a couple cups of java...

I also go back to punched cards. I also learned FORTRAN and BASIC. Wow. That industry has progressed!

Very good, Bill! I like it. :-)

J.R.,
I've read 3 of your stories and owe you 1 more. We have had some good discussions as well. I might also owe a couple others some reciprocations. Sorry about that, all. My life got flipped around a little.

I've been wanting to post one chapter from my Tribe book, but I was inspired with a discussion with you J.R. and the chapter got more complicated. So, I'll blame you for my slow posting! :-)

And congratulations on the new grand babies Marilyn and Bill. Be blessed.

Sorry if this is useless but I read above and tried some new names. I think they're somewhat clean from previous usage.

Earth's Twilight
Heavenly Twilight
The Twilight Grows
The Twilight Spirit
The Twilight Chronicles (album from 2006)
Chronicles of the New Christ

The final pic is definitely unearthly or inhuman. The halo glow on the first image is better. I imagine that Gemini improvements will help with that.
I don't know if it's the eyes, but the second image is more zombie-ish.

Nice looking cat. The far-right pics of the top row show the cat looking at its name. He must be pondering what it means.
