Time to revise the hell out of these last four scenes and send this book to the editor.

I put these calls out every so often so here goes:

If you're working on an inclusive game (something with POC/LGBTQ/female characters/relevant themes) please reach out to me, I would love to hear about it!

I can't guarantee coverage and I'm generally very busy but I'm always down to hear about new, inclusive things :)

(pls boost!) #gamedev #gameing

It looks like I'll be spending my time at @ZachJenkins
Brutal comment just found during the final revisions before sending my book to the editor in a couple days: "Add a few hundred words to change ending of the scene to have Brick getting Levi all pumped up to go after Inigo."

Got a book sitting next to you?

Add its 1st sentence to this database so I can train a neural network to write the first sentence of a novel.

I'll run the experiment at the end of Nov.

Write the first sentence of a novel - any novel. For science!

I train neural networks to write humor by giving them datasets that they have to mimic. You can check out my work at aiweirdness.com It’s National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo, for short), which means that writers everywhere are embarking on writing projects - and when you’re faced with a blank page, sometimes it’s just hard to get started. A helpful neural network, which came up with a My Little Pony called Blue Cuss, a metal band called Chaosrug, and a craft beer called Yamquak, could save the day. But first, it needs to see lots of examples. Enter the first sentence of your novel, or your favorite novel, or of every novel on your bookshelf. Short stories/novellas etc okay too. You can enter as many as you like. At the end of the month, I’ll hopefully have enough sentences to try training a neural network. Want to be updated when I post new neural network content?

#introduction I'm Zach. I write contemporary MM romance. I'm in the home stretch of the 4th book in my Firefighters on the Fox series that will go live hopefully in early December. I love talking to writers about writing. I think Stranger Things is exactly the kind of D&D show that D&D should be making...with a few more weapons and magic.
