I enjoy a lot 3D content generators like Geometry Nodes in Blender but, as a writer, I wanted also to check Context Free Grammar systems for narrative purpose. So I have made a quick first system in Godot to play a bit. Nothing fancy but a first toe in (deep) water.

And it seemed to me that some Eldritch horrors where the perfect mood for nowadays generators…

It was an honor to be a panelist on #Dementia Stories for Impact: Dementia Life Course and Storytelling, sponsored by the #AlzheimersAssociation and #UCSF. My fellow authors and colleagues talked about the importance of #narrative, #empathy, #brain health, and Dr. Bruce Miller and I talked about our work together on my #memoir, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain. I hope you find this discussion helpful.

This class goes deep into perspective, 1st/2nd/3rd person singular & plural POV, filtering through personality, sensibility, reliability, secrets & mystery, omniscience, tense, narrative distance, zooming, curation of artifacts, narrative strategy, & a few stranger options.
