Enjoying this quite a bit. AI will be great for research. As King says, you can make up anything you want as long as you tell the truth.

Thanks, Scott! Glad you enjoy it. True, AI can help for quick checks, a Google on steroids. The results can be hit and miss depending on the field of research, no doubt this will improve in future iterations and more up-to-date data.

This was so interesting and fun to read. I write completely different things, dreaming of a generational drama. But I love reading all sorts of things and have recently fallen in love with Octavia E. Butlers work. She would have loved the word Defrag =). And I do too. As a child I made up words, a lot of them, and it sounds very freeing to create a world where you can do that. Keep it up!

Thanks, Jenny! Great to hear the term Defrag works for you! It’s part of the Substack title now. I will need to check out Octavia. Making up words is a lot of fun! One of my earlier Fantasy works has its own rune alphabet. Have to balance it though so the story remains accessible.
