It’s been a handful of months—six or seven, to be precise—since I started to blend generative AI into my creative process, using it to visualize the worlds of my fiction. This is uncharted territory for me, as visual media was never a component of my work before, and I’ve been navigating the learning curve of integrating this new tool effectively.

Sharing the worldbuilding behind my stories is also new ground. Traditionally, I’ve maintained a personal journal to track the flurry of ideas that make up the world. The notes all make perfect sense to me but would never be clear to anyone else. I’m learning to refine and distill these thoughts into something more accessible before sharing.

Thankfully, I’ve established a solid system to keep the development of my universes on track. It’s invigorating to see the characters and settings that once lived only in text now gaining a visual dimension—a first for me beyond a book cover.

“Warlock Part 2” is taking shape. I’m aiming to wrap up the draft within the next few weeks. The frequency and number of these installments remains to be seen, but diving into Haiden’s backstory—a pivotal figure in the Terracova universe—has been fun, exploring his life before the events of Archon.

The website will go offline temporarily for a redesign. The Subspace and Galleries sections will still be viewable from the temporary landing page. The new site won’t be a big change, I just need my own template—better to suffer through it now rather than later. With a bit of focus and effort, the new look should be live within a few weeks.

Expect more concept media soon. As the visual aspects of these worlds unfold, I’ll be sharing a trove of extra material that, I hope, will provide a solid foundation for daydreams.

With the steeper parts of the learning curve behind me and new systems in place to manage content, I’m ready to flesh out the project sections—Terracova and Pantheon. The latter now encompasses Twenty-One Twelve and Terracova, but since I’ve already published a book in the Terracova universe, I’m going to treat them as separate projects for now. Terrcova is the future end of the Pantheon timeline, so the two will just come together naturally when eras converge. 

My approach to sharing content will be akin to my writing style: I don’t worry about linear progression; I write what springs to mind. I’ll release content from the project worlds in a similar fashion. Expect a mix of flash fiction, historical snippets, and short stories, primarily on Facebook and my website (hopefully extending to YouTube later on). Though these will begin as standalone pieces, together they will gradually outline the larger narratives and character arcs of Pantheon. I hope you enjoy these worlds as much as I do.
