This is MJ. I'm an author. I'm an artist. I'm an analyzer. You can find all my work at mjmunoz.com

2
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:08,060
Welcome to

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:13,440
Story Over Everything episode 19, Elite Elegy

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,800
So I'm gonna be talking about a couple things. This is a

5
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:22,420
Fabula Machina or story machine

6
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:24,680
episode of

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,280
Story Over Everything. I'm gonna be sharing with you an update on my writing projects and then I will be talking to you about

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,960
Story idea I came up with you can use it as a prompt if you want to for your own writing or just something to

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Think about I actually

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Came up with an idea on my own and

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:51,560
Made it into a prompt and then I processed the prompt through a little something something and I'll share with you the results of that

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,640
in a little bit, so

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,320
Getting back to the first part of this. I'm gonna talk about my updates on my writing projects

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,100
So I have the grow bug series of books

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,320
five children's picture books all inspired by

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,720
tokusatsu that'd be Godzilla Ultraman Super Sentai Kamen Rider and

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,560
Digimon and

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,400
Because that's the sort of thing I'm into and I thought I'd like to have cool children's picture books about these

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,800
So I wrote five books and I'm pretty satisfied with them. I've

20
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,200
continued to tweak them and I even came up with an idea for a

21
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,120
For a

22
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,840
Bigger book that encompasses these five

23
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:44,600
stories of the five like hero bugs when the grow bug is a basically a guardian angel that helps children to

24
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,240
be protected from and saved from dangers in the night of

25
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,120
various types there's

26
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,520
supernatural

27
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,040
Basically supernatural challenges or foes they face. They're not all the same thing

28
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,080
they're all various types of dangers that kids face and they have different purposes and different causes and

29
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,000
different goals, but ultimately they all victimize children in order to benefit themselves and

30
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,320
Because of that I recently developed the name for them, which is Hob-not kind of like Hobgoblin

31
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,760
Phrase hob is an old term

32
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,860
Old English old French old German and it refers to

33
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:34,340
Basically like a night terror. So at one point early early on in my drafts of some of these stories I

34
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,040
Had thought about calling them

35
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:44,240
Terrorers or figments or you know, you know night mirrors KNI GHD nightmares things like that

36
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,240
which I still think is a fun idea, but

37
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,920
I've generally called them now all hob-nots and I like I said, I've developed that

38
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:54,120
word recently and they're

39
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:56,640
explorers in the night who explore

40
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,520
terror sort of of children, so

41
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,160
yeah, it's a I think it's a cool set of books and

42
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,560
Like I said, I'm working on them and as I've developed my

43
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,440
Larger manuscript that goes into the like well each book is basically told from the perspective

44
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,880
Well, it's not really from the perspective of the child, but it's told

45
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:26,640
What the child is the hero the main character. They're the focus and it's they're all told in third person and

46
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,280
The grow bugs make appearances in the books and they're

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,000
Helping to save the day, but they're not 100% what the books about it's about how these children

48
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,000
with the help of these grow bugs can overcome these things and I

49
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,040
As I spent more time thinking about these stories

50
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,560
I thought oh, I kind of like to explore what's it like for the grow bugs in this

51
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,800
You know if I'm creating this world with multiple books kids

52
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,400
In different places all being negatively affected by these hobnots then what is

53
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,840
You know, what's the deal with that? Why do they exist? Why do the grow bugs exist who set this up and

54
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,000
As I'm a believer in a divine power and divine source

55
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,880
I decided to include that as an aspect of my

56
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,200
storytelling and I have the idea that basically like I said, these things are guardian angels, but I kind of

57
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,480
Meant that literally that they're sent by God

58
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Whoever he is in your estimation because I you know leave a vague and open for interpretation

59
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,000
for

60
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,480
You know, and he sends these things out in order to protect

61
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,200
innocent children, which I think is a cool thing, but

62
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,520
basically what I've been doing is

63
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,120
Rewriting each of the five grow bug books

64
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,760
with the five grow bug guardians who are the heroes or

65
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,360
You know helpers in those books

66
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,240
in a

67
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,160
I've been rewriting those stories from their perspective and I've been inserting those into this overall story

68
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:14,280
I have of a fresh group of grow bug cadets who are training and

69
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,360
Being raised to grow up and be either

70
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:25,360
soldier support or like a seer profit type of

71
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,520
Bug like they differentiate and specialize down into different

72
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Groupings that all have different strengths. They've you know have things in common that they share

73
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,440
But they have different strengths that distinguish them from each other and enable them to do different things together

74
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,360
And when they work together, they can acquire different abilities

75
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,680
when they work together they can accomplish a lot more so I

76
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,080
have kind of this militaristic vibe to it where

77
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,680
they're you know guardians, they're called guardians keepers and

78
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,240
seers and

79
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,840
the guardians fight the terrors the seers kind of handle columns between groups of

80
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:14,000
between groups of grow bugs as well as seeing when a kid is in danger needs help and dispatching the guardians to help them with that and

81
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,520
And the keepers awful offer I guess you could say vital support to their fellow grow bugs

82
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:28,000
So they you know raise food they raise the kids they might have healing magic or powers and things like that

83
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
So that they can help

84
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,080
injured new guardians or seers or you know, whoever among their ranks and

85
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,440
That's kind of the idea I have and I've just as I've developed that idea

86
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,240
For this book that collects their stories

87
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,920
and has an overall narrative which I call grow bug tales I

88
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,720
have had to go back and revise the other grow bug books because as I've learned more about

89
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,880
the I don't know society and culture and you know character of these

90
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,720
Various grow bug characters. I've had to go back or I've taken the opportunity to go back and

91
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,360
inform

92
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,720
specifically

93
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,720
some details in the books

94
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:20,640
the individual books of the you know, the kid and the grow bug is my little code name for those five grow bug picture books and

95
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,680
It's been a lot of fun. I've really enjoyed that work and I've enjoyed the process and

96
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,400
I've learned a lot along the way. I've kind of talked about that already what I learned from writing these grow bug books

97
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,920
The the grow book picture books in rapid succession, so I won't go over that but I will

98
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,280
Let you know that you can find that in the

99
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,080
The catalog of the story over everything episodes. So if you're curious, you can go ahead and find that

100
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,880
that and more is at MJMunoz.com and I

101
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,240
would

102
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,240
like to continue by saying that

103
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:07,720
The progress where I'm at is I am in I'm on the third grow bug retelling and

104
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,920
for whatever reason or you know grow bug kid in the grow bug book retelling in this story and

105
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:18,960
basically, I've decided to have these you know grow bug cadets being raised up and trained in whatever in

106
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:26,160
Various ways they're being trained physically and they have to accomplish tasks and you know cultivate discipline and

107
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,440
Strength and toughness and things like that through life experience

108
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,440
But I also believe in story as a vehicle for change

109
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,920
and I believe in story as a

110
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,520
platform for

111
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,520
education and

112
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:50,000
More just you know, I think stories are really important. So I have this kind of like oral tradition type thing going on here where

113
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:51,960
the

114
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:59,600
idea is as part of their training the young grow bugs get to hear war stories basically from older grow bugs and learn lessons from them, so

115
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,840
I'm

116
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,840
You know having to learn from them

117
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:11,640
You know having the heroes of these grow bug books tell their stories firsthand and the first two are pretty straightforward in this

118
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,240
The third one that I'm working on I decided I would well the actual it's the longest grow bug

119
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,920
Kid in the grow bug book. I have so far like it's really like it's I think 2,000 words or something like that

120
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,880
Maybe closer to 2,500 which is not the standard length for a children's picture book at all

121
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:38,680
it's you know quite long in comparison to what is regularly done today, which I think I've seen recently four to five hundred words I

122
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,360
thought a year or two ago that it was eight hundred to a thousand words and

123
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,400
Anyway, I've safely doubled that so I don't know what I'm gonna do with that. But I

124
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,560
Actually had so much of the story

125
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:59,420
Involve the kid herself and so little of it involving the grow bug that I decided I'm going to

126
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,660
Well, I'm still undecided as to how I'm gonna tell that story, but I have maybe even a

127
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:12,600
Another book that I could you know short story that could spin off telling the story of this grow bug trying to infiltrate this

128
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:20,080
This barrier, let me just put it that way barrier blocking her from getting to the kid and and helping her so

129
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,480
and it's been pretty interesting and

130
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,800
It's funny how much I'm figuring all this out as I go along and as I'm figuring this out

131
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,800
Trying to figure out how to turn myself into a successful author and I keep hearing email email email

132
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:41,800
Email building an email list is the thing you want to do and it's a key to success and it's old and it's not

133
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,680
Spicy or alluring or hip or in or on trend or anything like that, you know

134
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:51,080
Tik Tok is the current thing. That's a big deal and

135
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:55,320
You know who knows how soon that may change. Apparently they're gonna be starting their own

136
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,160
publishing imprint called eighth note publishing and

137
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,120
You know, who knows what's gonna happen there? So, you know

138
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,440
Platforms come and go social media comes and goes but if you have an email list, you know emails a protocol basically

139
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,440
The protocol will not come and go protocol has been here for

140
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:19,920
It's you know, 2023 as I say this what's email been around for 40 years since the probably 1990

141
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,120
So we go 90 to 2000

142
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,640
2010 to 2022, okay 30

143
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:32,120
33 years, let's see. No has been around. I think it's actually older than that. But you know more widely in use is

144
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,280
You know the 30 years might be about right. Anyway

145
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,160
That protocol will

146
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,040
Change and will permutate through different ways

147
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:48,080
And will permutate through different things, but it'll stay the same and it'll keep working

148
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,600
It'll keep being used and so I took two

149
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,520
short online courses classes introductions

150
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,840
to email list building

151
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,840
guides to email list building from two different

152
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:09,480
Individuals or organizations, I won't be specific. I won't name but I'll just call them a party a and party B

153
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,140
I found it interesting that well, I found both party a and party B's

154
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,320
explanation of

155
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,400
why you need email list and and how important is to cultivate that and grow it and

156
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,840
You know use that to sell your books to those people on your email list and then

157
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,960
you know sell them subsequent books in your series or direct them to new books that you're writing and

158
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,000
Again, I thought this was you know, fascinating interesting and the presentation from both

159
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,560
parties was well done and

160
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:40,560
and

161
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,600
It was enlightening and it really made me feel motivated to

162
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,240
To go ahead and get started on building out my email list and something that I like that they both said

163
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,160
No, that well, I mean it's affirming to me. So it feels comfortable. Therefore. I liked it, right?

164
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,680
Is that?

165
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:01,680
Even if you don't have a book out now

166
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:08,400
It is prudent to go ahead and start assembling a reading list or an email start building your email list

167
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,440
so that when you're ready to launch your books you

168
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,720
can

169
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:19,560
Send your books to you can send the announcement of your launch to people on your email list and

170
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:34,120
That's great. And there was a one of the one of the courses. There's a method shared for increasing your Increasing eyes on your books and

171
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,160
turning that into more people to subscribe and then turning those subscribers into

172
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:46,880
People who turn around and give you greater exposure and it was this really interesting cycle using email sequencing

173
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,880
You know where you can actually

174
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:56,240
Set up your emails so that when somebody subscribes to whatever list you have you can have various lists too that you can

175
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:03,560
Have a track for them to go on basically where they get the same everybody gets the same sequence of emails in the same order

176
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,760
you know sequentially from when they join with you and

177
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:13,320
That that was really neat especially with how one of the authors was talking about how to leverage that and use that

178
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,100
In part to create yourself a wider

179
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:21,980
You know base of readers potential audience and people to

180
00:14:23,860 --> 00:14:29,300
To buy your book and again turn other people onto your stuff as well. So very interesting

181
00:14:29,860 --> 00:14:35,740
I do have a preference for one person's presentation or one for one party's presentation over the others

182
00:14:35,780 --> 00:14:39,380
But that doesn't matter to you but something else that I found interesting

183
00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:46,820
Is that the way I got notified of these is that I was somehow on an email list for both these people

184
00:14:59,460 --> 00:15:07,300
I think they like a guest email their guest posted on another party's party C on party C's email

185
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:10,340
Fire Bolton whatever that I'm part of so

186
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:16,260
You know, I believe that the whole email thing can work because it's working on me. These people are literally using their

187
00:15:17,060 --> 00:15:23,300
list and the email process to get me interested in what they're

188
00:15:24,260 --> 00:15:25,620
providing and

189
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:29,460
honestly, both of them finished with a sales pitch and

190
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:35,700
One sales pitch was more attractive than the other but again, that doesn't matter and I didn't buy either but

191
00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:37,700
One I definitely

192
00:15:37,780 --> 00:15:38,420
heavily

193
00:15:38,420 --> 00:15:40,260
The first one I heard I thought well

194
00:15:40,260 --> 00:15:44,900
Let me wait to see what party B will say and what their sales pitch is gonna be because I feel

195
00:15:45,060 --> 00:15:47,620
like they're probably gonna have a sales pitch too and

196
00:15:49,460 --> 00:15:56,340
Again, there's nothing wrong with that. They're creating funnels. They're creating contacts. They're trying to get themselves in front of customers to

197
00:15:57,140 --> 00:15:59,780
Support their livelihood and that's exactly what I want to do

198
00:15:59,780 --> 00:16:04,100
So I'm trying to learn from them and it's just it's been a very interesting process trying to learn this

199
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:10,660
and I have resources from both of them that they offered for free and I will look at those review them and

200
00:16:11,460 --> 00:16:13,460
try to implement them and

201
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:17,700
Eventually set up my own, you know, please sometimes within a month or two

202
00:16:18,180 --> 00:16:25,700
Set up my own email list and start building that up so that when I am ready to publish I'll have people to go to and

203
00:16:26,980 --> 00:16:29,460
People to get reviews from and such

204
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:33,300
It's part of the plan

205
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:35,220
so

206
00:16:35,220 --> 00:16:39,620
anyway, there's that aspect of of this episode this edition of

207
00:16:40,660 --> 00:16:42,660
story of everything so I

208
00:16:42,980 --> 00:16:44,980
want to go ahead and move away from that now and

209
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:47,700
talk about going to

210
00:16:48,980 --> 00:16:53,660
The fabulous machina section and again this I

211
00:16:53,660 --> 00:17:02,980
I this is created by me. Don't be confused because I'm gonna be using chad gpt3 later and you'll hear from that

212
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:05,340
but I

213
00:17:05,340 --> 00:17:07,900
Did all this work myself this first bit of work myself?

214
00:17:08,420 --> 00:17:13,580
so I want to come over the story with keywords, I actually came up with these keywords after the fact, but I'm gonna

215
00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:22,020
Operate a little differently going forward the keywords are war decentralized peace anti-war law and justice

216
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:25,460
so those are keywords or key concepts in this story and I

217
00:17:26,340 --> 00:17:32,420
Put those all together into a prompt. I guess you could call it called elite elegy and this is what it is

218
00:17:34,340 --> 00:17:38,300
Communications tech is no longer able to be censored nearly a dozen

219
00:17:38,820 --> 00:17:42,980
Heads of state have been arrested and executed for war crimes

220
00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:49,820
They have ordered a decentralized network of hackers and computer engineers orchestrated these events under the direction of an eclectic group of grassroots

221
00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:52,260
Activists with one goal uniting them

222
00:17:52,860 --> 00:17:54,860
depower the oligarchs

223
00:17:55,780 --> 00:18:01,740
So elite elegy can be taken in multiple directions. What would you do with these ideas? What would you do with this prompt?

224
00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:08,180
I would turn to the elegy into an actions roller story of revenge called cyber wolf and

225
00:18:08,780 --> 00:18:14,180
Here's my pitch real quick short pitch a veteran and his team are tasked with capturing

226
00:18:14,180 --> 00:18:20,740
The government officials who lied their country into war under false pretenses. How did that get discovered?

227
00:18:20,740 --> 00:18:22,740
well because of the

228
00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:25,100
Leaks done by the hacking group and whatnot

229
00:18:25,780 --> 00:18:28,940
So here's the synopsis of that story that I came up with the kid

230
00:18:28,940 --> 00:18:32,340
I've never done this ever come with a character for this before so this was all fresh for me today

231
00:18:32,940 --> 00:18:37,140
What'll you pay? Yeah, what'll you pick a rero was almost ready to put the past behind him?

232
00:18:37,140 --> 00:18:42,820
The war had cost his brother his life and him and I he rested recovered and then kept moving

233
00:18:42,820 --> 00:18:48,060
He found work with a private security firm a good fit. It still hurt, but he kept moving

234
00:18:49,580 --> 00:18:55,580
Until the leaks destroyed his life for a second time it had all been a lie classified documents openly admitted it

235
00:18:56,220 --> 00:19:00,940
Private messages that were supposed to have been scrubbed and destroyed were found and clear for all to see

236
00:19:01,260 --> 00:19:04,300
The war had been a lie not a mistake, but a fabrication

237
00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:10,420
Guadalupe and Rigo his brother had believed in the cause they wanted to be heroes, but they had been pawns

238
00:19:10,420 --> 00:19:16,020
The politicians tried to bury it, but they couldn't the truth stayed out and the people demanded justice

239
00:19:16,340 --> 00:19:21,100
Guadalupe wanted revenge the guilty fled and dug into fortified positions meant to protect them

240
00:19:21,420 --> 00:19:26,340
Guadalupe pulled out or pulled every connection he could to get assigned to the extraction team

241
00:19:28,420 --> 00:19:34,940
So that's what I had mine that's what I put together for this story and the name cyber wolf and

242
00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:40,660
Some other ideas for this story. I had worked on or come up with

243
00:19:40,660 --> 00:19:43,940
I know a year or two ago and just kind of logged it in my memory

244
00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:44,780
I logged it some notes

245
00:19:44,780 --> 00:19:45,660
I couldn't find them today

246
00:19:45,660 --> 00:19:50,380
But I worked off of what I had memorized and I just kind of wrote this fresh new approach and I gave him a name

247
00:19:50,380 --> 00:19:54,980
And gave his brother a name and that's the work I did on it today now

248
00:19:54,980 --> 00:20:00,500
I asked chat GPT-3 to spin elite elegy into 10 different book proposals and

249
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:05,020
This is what it gave me and these I have not read any of these I

250
00:20:05,940 --> 00:20:07,740
Skimmed over them to make sure they're all short

251
00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:13,180
so they're all just like a couple sentences and it came up with a title you keep the title for each one and a

252
00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:16,060
Genre or subgenre for it. So here we go

253
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:18,460
book one

254
00:20:18,460 --> 00:20:19,740
unsilenced revolt

255
00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:21,100
dystopian thriller

256
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:25,460
synopsis in a dystopian future communication technology becomes impossible to censor a

257
00:20:25,460 --> 00:20:31,700
charismatic hacker and her team leveraged this newfound power to expose the war crimes committed by heads of state as

258
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:38,660
They execute their plan they encounter unexpected challenges and face grave consequences and their quest to dismantle the reign of the oligarchs

259
00:20:40,060 --> 00:20:46,100
Okay, so I don't know who the lady is if it just decided to pick a gender or sex whatever and say this man

260
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:48,100
This is a woman whatever so we'll see if it ping-pongs

261
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:55,580
I asked it to kind of do an outline with the prompt that I made

262
00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:59,820
and what a loop is both a man's name and a woman's name because

263
00:21:00,540 --> 00:21:01,980
That's the way it works for some reason

264
00:21:01,980 --> 00:21:06,940
I guess it's gender neutral because the the way it ends but like it sounds like a woman's name

265
00:21:07,580 --> 00:21:13,220
And you know doesn't everybody ever feel it deal up a anyway, so moving on to book two

266
00:21:13,220 --> 00:21:22,400
Whispers of justice which is a political drama synopsis when a communications tech no sorry when communications tech becomes uncensored a whistleblower leaks classified documents

274
00:21:57,060 --> 00:22:04,380
Heads of state the engineer finds herself caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and must protect her invention from those who seek to control it

275
00:22:04,380 --> 00:22:10,300
I had no idea it would be an invention and in fact I kind of think that violates the principle of it being

276
00:22:10,540 --> 00:22:13,940
Decentralized, but you know it's trying maybe the protocol

277
00:22:14,220 --> 00:22:20,200
Maybe she's got some sort of device that she uses you could come up with something to justify that if you wanted to work with

278

00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:17,860
anyway

Synopsis in a gritty cyberpunk world a street savvy hacker with a dark past

317
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:31,660
Uncovers a conspiracy involving the heads of state and their war crimes teaming up with a mysterious group of underground rebels

318
00:25:31,660 --> 00:25:33,660
They exploit the unfiltered

319
00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:41,260
Communication tech to expose the truth as the lines blur between justice and revenge they navigate a neon lit underworld

320
00:25:41,260 --> 00:25:44,060
filled with corruption and danger neon lit

321
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:49,160
Okay. Oh, yeah, I mean that actually sounds pretty okay, too. I have questions

322
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:54,380
It's a little vague but like if you read synopsis synopsis of a lot of books you can

323
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:57,260
Interpret that synopsis are going different ways and you could say huh?

324
00:25:57,260 --> 00:26:00,780
I never imagined that that would happen in this book based on just the synopsis

325
00:26:00,780 --> 00:26:02,780
So yeah, I thought those were pretty cool

326
00:26:02,780 --> 00:26:08,900
I thought those were pretty cool indeed and a lot of fun, and I mean it's you know proof that I

327
00:26:09,980 --> 00:26:16,340
Just like the power of writing the power of creative creativity is that you can take any ideas I

328
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:21,820
Basically just wanted like a veteran like I have anti-war outlook on life

329
00:26:21,820 --> 00:26:27,980
like I would prefer for us not to get into useless senseless wars and for young men and women to die for no reason especially

330
00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:34,980
because it seems like for the last I don't know a couple decades a few decades at least if not more in my country of origin

331
00:26:35,980 --> 00:26:38,980
The bloodshed has been for the profit

332
00:26:39,980 --> 00:26:43,660
for the profit a few and for the detriment of all or many and

333
00:26:44,660 --> 00:26:49,980
the amount of blood spilled in the name of my country's foreign interests is

334
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:55,860
revolting and repulsive to me, and I would love it to stop and I want the truth to

335
00:26:55,860 --> 00:27:01,140
be able to be the thing that stops it, but the truth doesn't always work like that and

336
00:27:01,860 --> 00:27:04,860
right now the truth is hidden, but I'm

337
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:08,900
aware of different protocols and

338
00:27:10,820 --> 00:27:15,220
Technologies that are being developed being worked on being explored right now that are

339
00:27:16,340 --> 00:27:18,340
gonna change that and

340
00:27:19,860 --> 00:27:23,580
The possibility of what could happen what our future could look like

341
00:27:23,580 --> 00:27:27,940
in a world where the truth can't just be hidden by

342
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:32,300
The people it would hurt by the evil people it would hurt

343
00:27:33,340 --> 00:27:36,460
It excites me and it brings me hope and

344
00:27:39,740 --> 00:27:43,460
It makes me long even more for justice and

345
00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:49,620
You know I believe in the power of storytelling and there's this mantra of

346
00:27:49,620 --> 00:27:55,220
Support the troops and I would argue that I'm supporting the troops by trying to not get them thrown into

347
00:27:55,620 --> 00:28:00,260
the meat grinder of endless stupid war on behalf of

348
00:28:01,020 --> 00:28:05,260
Other people that they're tricked and fooled into and all sorts of things

349
00:28:05,260 --> 00:28:10,420
I was fooled into supporting wars that I now find evil and were fabricated and I've

350
00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:12,940
I'll stop there right now, but um

351
00:28:13,860 --> 00:28:15,860
Yeah this

352
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:20,860
The idea of creating a story with a character you could empathize with who would

353
00:28:21,580 --> 00:28:23,580
learn the lesson of

354
00:28:23,980 --> 00:28:28,580
Being lied into war learn to be cautious about that thing and use the skill that they learn to

355
00:28:29,060 --> 00:28:34,140
Bring the actual culprits the actual villains in the case to justice

356
00:28:34,780 --> 00:28:37,580
It feels very cathartic just saying that I

357
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:40,100
Feel a little better and

358
00:28:40,420 --> 00:28:43,420
You know it's a fictional story and it's a fictional story

359
00:28:43,420 --> 00:28:47,860
I feel a little better and you know it's a fiction. It's not true

360
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:52,860
But if it could become a popular fiction, and it could stir the hearts of many people

361
00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:56,860
What would they do? What would they learn? How would that affect their lives going forward?

362
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:58,860
I don't know but again

363
00:28:58,860 --> 00:29:05,860
that's the power of storytelling that I'm interested in and that I recognize and that I feel myself being affected by and

364
00:29:07,860 --> 00:29:09,860
Yeah, that's why I wanted to share that with you

365
00:29:09,860 --> 00:29:13,420
So anyway, I this got weirdly personal and I didn't mean it to

366
00:29:13,420 --> 00:29:20,260
I don't know that that will happen all the time in story over everything, but you know this is who I am and these are things that

367
00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:23,540
Spark my interest and these are things that

368
00:29:24,340 --> 00:29:28,700
You know this is my perspective on storytelling, so if you're into that then I guess you know stick around for more

369
00:29:29,580 --> 00:29:32,780
Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and get out of here

370
00:29:32,780 --> 00:29:40,060
This went longer than I'd expected and I need to attend to other matters so until next time this is MJ signing out I
