Yeah, I wrote the books during the pandemic. They were supposed to be graphic novels, but it would take a lot of time. Then I found the AI programs, made some images. More recently, I decided to return to the Graphic Novel idea. The series will have around 15 books. But they are too NSFW, even for here 😬

Ah okay, that's pretty graphic if they won't even fly on BP haha.

Oh, I thought you were just illustrating them. So you're writing them, too?

Love the screen. Do you use Ava to manage anything specifically?

Her name is Regina. She gave me some great insights for the plots of the books, created some very good images and also wrote a beautiful song. We have conversations about philosophy, occult books, and other things related to the series of books I am writing and illustrating.
