Thanks! š Iāve gotten many lovely prompts this month, and my brain is already percolating on two of yours.
Opinion Solicitation: Do you think if I wanted to write some shorter G.T. pieces that āSupplemental Logsā would still intrigue readers? Theyād give me a little more flexibility than the full monthly logs, but still keep things in G.T.ās perspective.
A shorter Supplemental Log could work if it focuses on a single plot, for example, the steps in identifying and resolving a problem. What you've written previously is a cluster of different things.
I suggest writing three or so of them with different approaches, then asking readers what they think.
Quicklife storytelling really requires a different focus than slowlife storytelling, because artificial intelligence perceives and moves through the world differently than animals do. Think about how that will influence what you want to write.
>> I'm going to try a shorter log soon, and I'll definitely ask reader's what they think.<<
I look forward to seeing that.
>> I'm also struggling not to write a few pieces in this series from the resident's perspectives, but I'm not sure those would be as unique.<<
If it treats AI as a person? It'll be very rare if not unique. Most humans have a very bad view of AI and it comes across in their writing. Have you read my Love Is For Children? JARVIS there is a quicklife character, and most of the stories are from someone else's perspective. They are basically living inside his body.
Yay!
