Travis Spencer

In case we haven't met 👋 Spent the last year decompressing after exiting & transitioning out of my startup. Currently finishing a memoir about it all. Reemerging on social & see many have jumped here. Let's connect & swap stories, incl. non-AI related 😉 #WritingCommunity #Infosec #DigitalIdentity

After revising my prologue many times over the last week, submitting it to CC's "hook" queue, being told it was too much telling, testing it on actual readers by vibe-coding a test app, and collecting user data, I had to completely rewrite it today. 🫩 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #BookSky

I put my hook up on Critique Circle last weekend. Thought it was working, but the more feedback I got the more it seemed like it wasn't. Before throwing it out, I made my own app to collect feedback from target readers. Let's see if the results differ. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #BookSky

I've got my hook up on Critique Circle this weekend. Already gotten a lot of good inputs. All in all, I think it's does its job. I'd tell you which it is, but then it wouldn't be anonymous ;-) #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #BookSky

Just finished the second draft of my memoir. This time, I made it through the muddy middle. Done with the dedication, afterword, acknowledgement, epigraph, and about the author sections even :-) 58,000 words (57K for the narrative). Feels A M A Z I N G ! ! ! #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #BookSky

I have over 6K words of reviews on Critique Circle this month. If you've got something up and I haven't hit your piece yet, let me know. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #BookSky

I've got the first chapter of my memoir up for critique on Crit Circle starting tomorrow. If you're there, I'd love your feedback. Just search for "tspencer" #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #BookSky

Clocking out for the day. 53,728 words or 83% done with my memoir. Home stretch, baby!

This is good news blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-s... @mozilla.org says that Mythos & other models are helping them find so many latent security issues in Firefox that zero-days might be a thing of the past.

Was hard to get started on the DD scene of my memoir today. Then I remembered my wife always called it the "D&D." Started writing it as an epic battle. Much more fun. 1500 words closer to done :-)
