Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the avia_framework domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Most of y’all know that I submit regularly to the “Postcards” series from Raconteur Press<\/span><\/a>. For those aren’t aware, it’s an open submission call that happens from time to time whenever the gang go to a convention. They send an AI generated image to anybody who asks, and you must write a story of precisely 50 words, no more, no less, inspired by the image. You only have until the Monday after the con to submit the story, so there’s a time pressure added to the word count. It’s a fun challenge, and I’ve made the cut for two of the four volumes.<\/p>\n

I thought I’d share my process for any of you that are interested. (BUYER BEWARE: This story did NOT make the cut.)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
