No Artificial Intelligence Used in the Creation of Art or Books by DL Mullan

It is a sad day when technology becomes such a crutch that a writer has to draw a line in the sand.

Readers as well as other writers are questioning the usage of applications and programs that take control away from human integrity. 

For those readers in our audience who are interested in this topic, Undawnted does not utilize artificial intelligence, or A.I. in the creation of the art, poetry, or prose. If other writers wish to use this technology, that is for them to decide and let the readers know. As for the artist, author, and audio/visual creator, DL Mullan, she does not use products besides grammar and spell check applications. 

Rest assured that when you purchase a chapbook, book, art item, you are buying a human created product from history, mythology, human imagination/ingenuity, and the craft of storytelling.

Thank you for your continued support, 

Team Undawnted

March Madness Quarantine Special Continues with: Special Engagements: Lectures for Writer's Workshops, The Odyssey

Want to improve your knowledge base? Want to learn about mythology and other stories from our ancestral past?  

Then participate in Undawnted's March Madness Special Engagements: Lectures for Writer's Workshops, The Odyssey.

"The follow up to the Iliad, Homer's Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια, Odýsseia) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer.

The poem is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second oldest extant work of Western literature, the Iliad being the oldest. It is believed to have been composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia."
 
If you need to start with the Iliad, Undawnted has you covered, Lectures for Writer's Workshops: The Iliad.   
 
Have a great and wonderful day!

Happy Celtic Heritage Month

Visit my Art Show!
This March is about to close on another year's celebration of Celtic Heritage. 

If you are Irish or Scottish, or a little in between, there is a sense of history, culture, and community with the Celtic people. As an American, I would have loved to have visited the Emerald Island before I had become disabled. The jaunt was on my bucket list. 

Lucky for me, there is the internet! So I can travel the world without a passport or airplane ticket. The globe's best destinations are a search engine away! 

That is how a writer should view the world and its many fascinating cultures: with a child's enthusiasm. 

As for the rest of March, we can eat, drink, and be merry for everyone in their heart is a little Celtic, if they know it or not!

Have a great and wonderful day.

Sonoran Dawn Digital Art Piece Inspired by the Effloresce Chapbook Cover Art

I do my own cover art. I do other people's book and album covers too. Digital art is rehabilitation for my brain inflammation. 

I was playing around and created the new Effloresce chapbook cover and a watershed of creativity opened up inside me. 

The inspiration created the art piece I called: Sonoran Dawn (left). I did it for my Zazzle Art Collection I. Then my publisher with the same name, Sonoran Dawn, decided to update their logo with my color scheme and motif.


The Sonoran Desert is represented by the bison skull, cactus, cross, sun, vines, and colors. 

The earth tones are muted like sunsets. The luscious green not only represents my Irish descent but also the green of the Palo Verde trees, Saguaro cacti, and wildflowers.

Abstract, expressionist, impressionist, the Sonoran Dawn art piece is an exquisite example of fine art in digital form.

If you would like see the Sonoran Dawn updated logo visit their site here.

Have a great and wonderful day!

Celtic Heritage Month

March is the month of St. Patrick's Day, so Undawnted has created her own heritage month for those with a Celtic lineage.

It seems like the calendar is replete with holidays for everything and everyone... except for the betterment of the Celtic people. St. Patrick's story is a fable made up by the Holy Roman Empire to convert pagans. Today this holiday is for drink and merriment. 

Not really the positive vibe the Celtic people could use. 

March on Undawnted will highlight this heritage with plenty of merriment minus the drink. 

So get out your Irish and Scottish wears and accents. 

Celtic Heritage Month is now here.
