 Welcome to church of the chair where we celebrate all the things we do well seated. I'm your host E and today We're gonna be doing writing sprints. I'm gonna be going 30 minutes at a time And I use my gravity timer for that if you're following along with me I suggest using something like that so your phone isn't a distraction But anyways, how are y'all doing? I hope you guys are doing fine. Let me adjust my lighting some I I Will be watching chat as I write. Hey, Ty. How you doing? So chat away Feel free to talk amongst yourselves. Hey Viking. How you doing? That's good, Ty. Hey lazy. How you doing? Decent. That's good. At first I read that as a descent. Hey book dragon. Hello from a matakas Oh Little clown doll over my shoulder. Oh this one. Yeah, my buddy Jason made it for me It's supposed to be and it is I'm not saying, you know allegedly it's a accurate representation of what Pennywise looked like in the book What's up Derek, how you doing? What's the plush below Sally? Oh that's hang on me this is From steak and shake. Hey John, how you doing? I Got this one and my son has a little hamburger one our local steak and shake closed It went out of business Did your steak and shake our all did steak and shake go out of business completely? I don't even know Look a short day in St. Louis to get the HDMI port on my PS5 fixed. How are you? I'm doing great How much did that cost you? I used to do electronics repair and HDMI port replacement was Ridiculously expensive like half the cost of the system when I was doing it because I actually reballed everything Reballing means, you know, you put new solder and everything flux all that good stuff $95 that's really really good. I hope they I hope they don't cut any corners because that's cheap for reballing of an HDMI port Especially with how intricate it is to get inside of a PS5 without damaging the case Does anyone else care? I don't lazy, but I'm glad if you're excited for it I don't do any of the sports balls or the sports pucks or sports rackets. None of that stuff Yeah, I just put all this stuff up because I showed off my collection Little last stream, I think it was the hangout in chat watching the Reds Pirates game if JB was here He'd he'd love to talk to you about it because he runs his own sports channel. Oh You missed that one. Yeah, it's the the last one the the very last Live before this one the day before yesterday. Oh, that's cool, John Maximilly, okay Yeah, I expect to see JB on TV sooner than later good dude. Oh, no, I'm I'm working Viking. It's uh, yeah, I'm fine I'm I'm actually doing fantastic. I'm just that okay What what you're probably seeing is Usually I work and then talk to you guys During my break, but I'm balancing both right now. I appreciate it. Thank you Viking for caring Not much Connor. How you doing? Wait a second. I'm I'm missing. Oh, okay. Yeah, I had it in top. I had it on top chat now I haven't live chat. I missed Connor's other one That's probably what happened last time when I missed a bunch of requests to see the Funko pops Trying to get my shit together aren't we all my friend aren't we all Feel free to talk it out Damn little gnats flying around I came to the stream as you splattered the net I thought you were doing some crazy Spanish clapping I'm not really wiped and going back to sleep just popped in to say hi. I hope everyone is all right. I'm doing fine Thank you. Hey, Lee. I hope you get some rest Hey, howdy, um That is a that's a tough question um, I would like to say that AI Will never Have a concept of character Um, it can do plot it can do even theme but I doubt that we are anywhere near An AI writing believable characters without some sort of human input So as far as AI stories are concerned like the the most intricate one I've read so far Was a story of a frog and a roach And they go on an adventure and there's absolutely nothing about The characters of the frog and the roach just the adventure that they go on It's well written the grammar's right all that good stuff But at the same time there's no humanity to it and I think the reason why we read is to have solidarity with humanity um, are there going to be people who would Who don't care and just read for the story in the plot and that kind of thing like asops fables kind of deal Um read just for the lesson. Uh, sure Um, is it going to get rid of authors? It's not going to get rid of authors any more than Uh, autotune got rid of singers. I guess it's the best way I can put it Oh, yeah, definitely capitalism is If if AI threatens anything it's capitalism because you know, why pay a human being to do something when You can just have it write the code for you design whatever you need for you so on and so forth But the thing is if it gets rid of the need of human ability capability then There will be no economy because people won't have the money to Buy the stuff that feeds and fuels the economy But uh, I mean and the only answer to that is The government just gives money to the people or free stuff to the people and AI and Robots run everything that kind of thing Are we gonna end up there? Who knows? I have I have no idea But uh, it's definitely a threat to capitalism That's why I think that all this stuff is kind of like a flash in the pan because the government is no way Going to uh, let allow something like that to happen George Lucas made a fortune writing like a robot. Yeah Oh, I keep forgetting All right, I think I'm good for right now When I come back we'll get started for real. I just wanted to Refresh my memory on where I was in the story And do some editing along the way But uh, I'm gonna take 10 minutes. So set your clocks if you want to go away and come back 10 minutes on the clock and then when I get back we'll chat for 15 minutes If nobody's really up for chat, then I'll just get back to work. Yeah. See you in uh seeing 10 do nisk throat singing In honor of the chair Anybody listen to the hue Uh, I'll type it in chat.

I want to catch up on chat The patron's seat is back the patron's seat of seated things Uh, welcome back. Thank you Anyways, so lookie what I got Lone women by victor laval I'll throw the changeling of big machine Of slap boxing with hazus Of the ecstatic so many other great books This one is a period piece A woman with a past a mysterious trunk a town on the edge of nowhere and a bracing new vision of the american west From the award-winning author of the changeling Adelaide henry carries an enormous steamer trunk with her wherever she goes It's locked at all times because when the trunk opens people around adelaide start to disappear The year is 1915 and adelaide is in trouble Her secret sin killed her parents forcing her to flee california in a hellfire rush And make her way to montana as a homesteader Dragging the trunk with her at every stop She will become one of the lone women taking advantage of the government's offer of free land for those who contain it Except that adelaide isn't alone And the secret she's tried so desperately to lock away might be the only thing that will help her survive the harsh territory Crafted by a master modern master of magical suspense Lone women blend shimmering pros an unforgettable cast of Adventurers who find horror and sisterhood in a brutal landscape And a portrait of early 20th century america like you've never seen And at its heart is the gripping story of a woman desperate to bury her past or redeem it As soon as i read like the first couple lines of the description when he first announced it I automatically fell in love with it. Can you just imagine this this Woman by herself dragging this steamer trunk across, you know the the west It sounds absolutely fantastic Where you be at victor, there you is I'll put that back there. I'm gonna read it very very soon. Well if they're women Hush dammit viking hush Uh, writing a story. Do you try to put a deadline on it? No, never. I looked up your previous life's bibliography and I like your output Shorter books, but many. Yeah, um, I've published over 50 books. Uh, ever since I started the the career side of things Uh, it's about let's see here at this point in time. I've had 12 different pin names Um, all of them are dead, uh, except for one that I'm working on now Building the brand and doing all that stuff on my own time. Uh, but yeah So, uh, but yes the the old name was known for shorter works even though cruelty Ah, shit, even though one of them was six God dammit One of them was six hundred and sixty pages and there's another one that was over 400 But most of them were were much shorter. Yes Um, it's like 2012 It's like 2012 and escaped my notice entirely Will you be my friend is the best one real bummer endings, huh? Is to read one of ease smutty books You might have I know you've read one of my other ones. You've talked about it before um It changed the title to lone man. You've had my sex life described the dudes But yeah, the books I'll probably be reading next month are of course chad lutsky's newest one three smile mile And lone women. Um, I'm still working my way through tale of genji I keep starting other long books and just stopping them because they're not grabbing my attention But I am enjoying steven markley's the deluge That was a good one It is six o'clock and I am starving. I have not eaten all day. All I've had is coffee and water Um, so I think I'm gonna go ahead and head on out I just wanted to show you guys the new book that I got because you guys seem to enjoy that so um, but yeah, uh, I hope you guys have a wonderful terrific night And that you all have much joy as the news breaks Here in america, um, I'm reading like three books, but work keeps me too busy. Hey, I understand So I find your pin name switcheroo fastening. What's the motif behind that? Not really motif. It's just um, I The the method I use is I change names anytime Sales start to fluctuate because people get tired of the same old same old. So I switch genres switch styles um, I I anytime I want to do something new I start over again and it is a a bit of I like doing it. I like starting all over again And if I'm completely honest with you, I like the feeling of being a debut author I like the I like people talking about, you know, you like, uh, where has this person been, you know, my whole life, you know Um, this I can't but this is my favorite one. And yes, it is disingenuous But I can't believe this is this author's first book, you know, that kind of thing. So, um, I have a little bit of Of pride when it comes when it comes to that and every time I've started over I get those things And you don't really see them. Um, when you get too deep into a career People tend to, you know, either stop buying or stop reading or moving on to new authors Some people do get stuck on you. That's of course they do but um, it's more about, you know, really Trying to see how many I can get away with before I'm outed Um, I've come close twice to being publicly outed once back blackmail and another one Someone found out and didn't know I want it kept secret. Um But it it's all ended positively. Um, and since my real name is nowhere on the internet whatsoever Uh, I don't even have credit cards in my own name. Uh, my real name Really that person doesn't exist And people call me eat. Um in my real life on online and all that stuff And that is the name I go by and this is my real personality Even though I have been on the internet as other personalities throughout the throughout the years I'm even over on tiktok as a as a comedian Uh as cousin earl. It's a it's a character. I do he's a redneck and he's opinionated and he's funny And uh, so I just like being different people You're an inspiration, especially how you share your tips and tricks for free. I recommend all my writer friends to you Oh, thank you, john. I appreciate it. I only did chossers when they start sucking like suit. See that that's the thing Usually that comes from a place of Formula um, you see it's not that the author change is that that you finally started to realize That they're doing much of the same thing all the time. That's why anytime I change names I change styles too if you were to open up certain books Of my other pin names and then read, you know, the the previous names or the name that I'm using now You hopefully you wouldn't be able to tell that there are similarities there Um, and I've I've written in numerous different styles and I love writing all of them. It's it's good to experiment Um, and it's nothing I could ever get away with uh, steven king gets away with it But steven king always has the same style like he'll write in different genres But i'm talking whole new styles for every single pin name A lot of youtube authors seem to just read the back of the book What do you mean? What do you mean by that? I'm not sure I understand I only did yeah, I already read that I got a bare bones outline written this stream. Hell yeah, tie. Good job. Good job. And I do this for free because why not I mean the the channel is monetized. So i'm getting paid Um, but i'm not ask i'm not asking you guys for money You know the if you if you want to you can do super chat if you want to help support the channel All money that comes in um through super chat goes back into the channel. Basically I buy books or video games or whatever I talk about here on the channel Oh, they just read the back blurb then babble 30 minutes about it for views. Yeah, I don't I don't do that I like to talk about stuff that happens as long as I don't show spoilers You know tell spoilers or anything like that You see I've read see the only reason I disagree with you Lazy is because I've read all three of those authors I've read the early stuff and I've read the later stuff and I Disagree with you Um as someone who gets down into the nitty gritty of an author style their style never changed It was just the the the stories did and the formula becomes very surface level After so long they start to Cut back on the stuff that they did earlier because you literally do not need it like some of the character development Any long-running series if if you are Explaining the character development of characters that have been around for a while and they're not really growing You're you're going to have a problem trying to find new stuff to do My favorite author to point out is john connelly John connelly's charlie parker series every single book Has well not yeah, even the ones that are from louis and angel Um have uh charlie parker in it But he has changed styles three times since he started that and most of all the authors that you mentioned Especially janet of janet avanovich and jeffrey beaver and probably even sue grapkin never changed their style All those books are written the exact same way Um and they have their diehards because they the their fans consider them comfort food You know, it's an easy go to they already know the characters. It's familiar It's the same reason why people love, you know 19 different Versions of a slasher movie They feel comfortable like and that that's why they get upset when you know things like the What is it the 2012 or 2009 reboot of uh Friday the 13th jason had the audacity to run and he was calculating and he set traps and all that stuff That's not there jason. So they get upset about things like that. Um, but It tends it tends to be that an author's style doesn't change and people Consciously realize this and they're like, oh, they're writing got worse as they went along and it's not That much now. I'm not saying that your experience is not valid. I'm saying They're pretty much the same. It's the same writing styles. Um and king like if you go back to uh Like his old stuff like pet cemetery and the stand and carry and all that stuff It is far more wordy than his stuff nowadays But he's getting the same points across the same character development and everything with fewer words because he's gotten better so Anyways, that's all my time for today. I love you guys all hell to chair Talk to you next time
