Just wrote THE END on my #NaNoWriMo project.

For November, I tried to see if I could write the start of a series (3 books) with AI assistance. 41,046 words later, I have 3 books (total 88,207 words) for the series to start. If people like those books, I'll write more.

These are Cy Borgmyn projects so they’ll be like THE LIGHT OF ENKI with AI art as well. I’ll share more as they come available. Here are some of the images the fueled the stories. #writercommunity #MiddleGradeNovels #mglit
