How often does a writer get jealous or envious of one of their characters?
I must confess that with writing the adventures of Dr Adam Price, both in the debut Price: World and the sequel Price: Polestarr, and even now as I’m writing the third adventure – Price: Dark Crater, I have become rather jealous of his AI companion – AMIe (Advanced Machine Intelligence experiment).
So, I decided that it was time to dust off the lesser used grey cells of my mind and learn some computer programming.
To that end, with some Birthday money, I treated myself to a Raspberry Pi 5 computer here-after christened as my very own AMIe.
There’s a ton of learning to do, without interfering with my Sunday ‘Writing Days’, so it’s going to be a long process – I’m under no illusions there.
Will you follow my journey?
I’ll be posting links (all completely non-affiliate – just resources that helped me or that I found interesting) on my quest.
A different kind of journey to my novel writing one, but one I hope you’ll find equally fascinating.
And here she is – my AMIe Mk1…
