The Creative World of Christine Graves
~~~~~~~~~~ So, I’ve seen a lot of people talking about selling their AI artwork. This is also a dream of mine, but not so much for the money (yes, that’s part of it), but because I always wanted to be a visual artist. The problem is that I cannot draw. I could color in a…
I am so excited. I just published the first in a short series called Investigating the Beyond. This is just a short read, around 5,000 words, and book one of what I’m hoping will become a very cool series. The premise of the entire series is about an aging psychic named Celeste Bordeaux. As a…
Well, it’s that time again when I make a lot of lame excuses for not updating this site for so long. Okay, no excuses. But I have been busy. I’ve been writing pretty steadily on my Medium publications. I’m having a blast over there and am keeping myself writing fairly regularly. I’m also working on…
As a coffee connoisseur and an old hippie at heart, I was thrilled when my friend Jules-aka, Miz Mindful-opened an Etsy shop called Coffee, Tea, or Hippie. A place where the modern-day hippie can find drinkware and trinkets to suit their styles. Jules’ shop offers an array of coffee mugs, tumblers, and acrylic cups with…
With my new-found love of making AI art, I’ve been looking into different places to make images for free. Though I subscribe to the Pro Edition at NightCafe, I still like to see what’s out there that isn’t going to cost me anything to play with. The one thing I will say is that if…
Hi kids. I hope all is well and life is grand. I’ve been trying to find more great things for you to check out, but I’m quickly realizing a couple of things. 1.) 90% of articles geared toward making money writing are all the same. Though the wording might be different, it all says pretty…
Hey kids. I know, it’s been a while. I haven’t felt very inspired lately, so I went searching for something to get me sparked. It took some time, but I think I found something. I found a huge list of free online courses for writers. There are a lot of courses on this list, some…
I have become a huge fan of AI Art. I’m in love with a site called NightCafe Studios and have spent several hours learning how to work the magic–and I’ve made some killer pics. So far, my only issue is the way the pictures are displayed. Artists can add their creations to collections of their…
Do you ever use writing prompts to get yourself inspired? As someone who creates writing prompts, I can tell you just how handy they can be. Wanna know a secret? I use writing prompts almost as often as I create them. And yes, I prefer the prompts of other authors. I need a dose of…
Have you ever moved into a new space, got it all set up, then decided to rearrange it right away? Yeah, that’s what I’m doing right now. I’m already making a change to the site, but it’s for the better, I promise. I’ve been working on revamping one of my other blogs, Priestess of Words….
When I brought this site back to life, I wanted to make sure to add a section strictly for authors. I’ve always been in awe of those who had the ability to write full-length novels. I’m doing good if I can complete a novella. I’m a short-fiction/flash-fiction kinda girl. I ran across J.G. MacLeod on…

I’ve always found writing to be easy. I just imagine the world I want to play in at that moment and go. However, one thing I always wanted to do, but couldn’t, was draw. I have no visual artistic talents whatsoever and it drives me crazy. It’s why I’m so attracted to those who have…
Hi kids, maybe I should introduce myself. My name is Christine Graves and I kinda run the joint. Well, I’m the one who painted the walls, hung the curtains, and posted all the words. I’ve been in the online writing games since the mid-90s. I started out on WebTV, then went to dial-up Internet, then…
Hey kids, let’s do a freewrite. Now, how many of you are looking at the screen wondering what the hell a freewrite is? Or, do you think you know, but not sure? Either way, it’s easy. It’s just a timed session of writing without stop. I’ve been a huge fan of freewrites for about 20…
