      might just start using AI Generated art for story covers Its fun can tailor it to exactly what I want and dont have to worry about copyright

        Might work. Though ai generated art still mostly just copies off pre-existing work as an agalamation of things around the keywords, so there might still be some risk. I used it for a few things before though, but obviously not for public things where it would matter.

        I haven't read the T&Cs of those sites, but do they actually transfer a full license to you? They might not.

        It probably depends on the site. I know Nightcafe claims you own the product. How true that is is up to speculation.

      It's official: if I put as much effort into "impregnable tower" as horny dragon story, then it'd be 25% complete!

      Sometime I want to see how many fetishes I can stuff into one chapter and have it still be functional...

      Am I really going to write another Dragon-themed short story? *Maybe*

      "The Wheel in my brain is spinning, but the Hamster is dead"..that's probably the best analogy for how I feel about my creativity right now.

        Creative Block is a terrible, frustrating thing. I go through it a lot and all I can really advise is to not give up. Chip away at it when you can but don't let yourself get too stressed out about it. You never know what's going to spark things going again so don't give up on yourself.

      That feeling when you get a chapter submission and can't reject it in fewer words than they wrote.

      Also my brain: that's such a stale idea that's been done a million times.

      My brain: I want to write a story involving a tower of horny monster girls.

      I feel like every time I try to make a triumphant return, work just tries to drag me back into The Abyss.

      Trying to write like I used to feels so much like I'm trying to reinvent The Wheel..

        I know the feeling. A lot of it likely comes from lost momentum with things and it just not keeping the same interest it used to.

        Yeah, sometimes it's a lot of other distractions leaving your brain with little time to focus on writing and then it's hard to get back into that mindset, or a new idea grabs you or you've just kind of reached the end of the one you're on.

        You must have slept in another dimension! One where the flow of time is *slightly* faster, for in this world barely two months have passed ;-)

        I'm hoping it's more Writing In General which I have taken a much longer hiatus from than just the forum, but time will tell.
