          I’ve submitted my science fiction cyberpunk novel MINDLYFT to the Watty’s this year. It’s the first time I’ve ever submitted a novel to a contest. I’m not feeling terribly confident but it’s a first step, like one of many in the past few years, inching toward my dreams. 
          
          I’ve spent the last few weeks making updates and revisions. I wrote the draft a few years ago based on some ideas I thought about while working in an office a few years before that. I revised it as I uploaded it to Wattpad last year. These latest updates were merely polishing. 
          
          In rereading the novel these past weeks I’ve realized how the development and reliance on artificial intelligence that I first contemplated in 2019 has increasingly become the reality. How software, metaverse, social media, and algorithms drive our social interactions. How remote work remains controversial despite a pandemic and widespread use of enabling technologies. How traditional jobs are under threat and modern work feels more and more like a gaming experience. How the ultimate disruption is to our lives, personal autonomy, identity, and mental center.

@night-writer2073  Good luck! Don't worry about the result. Congrats on taking such a big step in backing your writing and joining in the Watty's madness.

I am nearing the end of posting all the chapters of my novel TIME TESTAMENT.
          
          This was my very first “completed” novel, in that I did my best to refine it, rewriting it nearly a dozen times, and having two different developmental edits. That said, while it might be my most ambitious to date, I can’t say it is my best.
          
          There are 5 different character POVs and overlapping plots and themes, that blend the philosophical, psychological, theological, metaphysical, and some controversial theories of physics and quantum mechanics into the personal character arcs of ordinary individuals in the near future. I think my more straight forward novel narratives are easier to read and more fun. Like MINDLYFT and Jacob’s Powder Keg (on Amazon) in my profile link.
          
          All of that considered, TIME TESTAMENT represents my “proof of work” and evidence of my own development journey as a writer. Perhaps it will be foundational to better novels I write in the years to come and a testament (pun intended) to the fact that AI isn’t helping me take shortcuts and this is an all too human undertaking.

“My leg is bouncing up and down as if I was tapping out dance rhythms on a toe pad. I catch it. A twitch, a tick, something that wouldn't be happening if my ThinkingCap was working right. Something that would give me away. I have to keep it together. I've done so much to keep this together I can't break now.”
