100+ Cozy Fantasy Writing Prompts for NaNoWriMo & NovNov 2025

(random thoughts and conversations with ChatGPT5)

Interestingly, I have recently learned that there are people who read my site that were unaware AI was real, and actually thought I was the one typing up the replies on these! LOL!

LLM text generating AI has been a thing in the real world since at least 2019, because my earliest articles where I was testing out AI were published in 2019.

In 2019 I did an entire series of Quaraun short stories, fully written by Dreamily (https://dreamily.ai/) and AI Dungeon (https://aidungeon.com/) and wrote several articles throughout 2019 to 2021 on how to use those two AI programs specifically for worldbuilding and plotting Fantasy stories.

In 2021 I joined the beta test program for ChatGPT and was already using ChatGPT daily BEFORE it's public release in November 2022, and I had talked about it several times in several articles throughout 2021 and 2022.

When my 2016 Witcher 3 gaming rig died in 2023, I decided it upgrade from a gaming rig to a mini server rig that can run overkill level 8qwart+ self hosted offline AI’s via Ollama (https://ollama.com/). If you thought my 2016 gaming rig was a crazy overkill mega rig, it weren’t even a quarter the crazy overkill mega computer I’ve been running Ollama on since 2023.

With Ollama I now use over TWO HUNDRED different AI programs to write my Quaraun books, thanks to HuggingFace (https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=text-generation&apps=ollama&sort=trending) with Delirium being the primary novel writing AI program I use (https://huggingface.co/sam-paech/Delirium-v1)

I don't know how far before 2019 AI existed, but I know Deep Fake videos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepfake) of me were being published by friends and family of my son's murderer on YouTube as far back as 2014. So image, audio, and video AI is well over a decade old.

So, for those who were confused as to who I was talking to in these articles, here are some wikipedia pages that give you info on what this thing is that I am talking to in these conversations:

Why use AI to write?

Because even though I am too paralized to type anymore, I can still think.

You got to remember: I became bedridden with a broken spine in 2013, and was quadriplegic until 2015; regained some use of my hands in 2015, and have been relearning to walk since.

So I was not online from November 14, 2013 until late in 2016, and then was only online a couple of days a month on my own website, and not on social media again until 2018, but then again, only checking in my accounts once every 3 months or so so only posting about 4 times a year anywhere, because I was just too crippled still, to sit up long enough to type. So it wasn't until 2022 that I returned to posting "regular" aka once a week, and so I lost track of everyone I used to know online because of being 9 full years offline.

You got to remember, I LOST THE ABILITY TO TYPE in 2013, and STILL IN 2025 have nearly no use of my left hand, while only have the ability to use TWO FINGERS of my right hand.

Meaning I AM STILL UNABLE TO TYPE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE.

The VERY REASON I looked into using AI to continue writing my series of novels, was BECAUSE I had become a quadriplegic with no use of either my arms or legs in 2013. and while I had regained some limited movement in my arms and legs now, it is not enough to either type for more then five to ten minutes a day, nor enough to walk for more then a few hundred feet a day, yes, even still now in 2025, twelve years later.

After the 2016 surgery gave me the ability to speak normally, I set out to use Dragon speech to text software. The novels "Into the Swamp of Death", "The Vampire Leprechaun of Fire Mountain", and "GhoulSpawn and the Lich Lord's Lover", were written this way, speech to text with Dragon software (as you can tell when reading them, because NO EDITING was done to these 3 at all, and what was published was MY EXACT DIALECT aka typed by Dragon THE WAY I SPEAK and not the way words should be spelt.)

However, in 2019 I found out about advances in AI, and because of my unique disability situation, was asked to join beta testing for various AI programs geared towards writing novels.

I am STILL severely disabled and STILL not able to type with more then the two first fingers of my right hand, still now in 2025. Without the help of ChatGPT, Ollama, and Delirium, I would not have been able to return to writing my Quaraun series.

Even though I am still mostly paralyzed in my left arm, and mostly paralyzed in my right arm save my two first fingers, I have been able to write and publish twenty-two additional novels, novellas, and short story collections between 2019 and 2025 with the help of ChatGPT, Ollama, and Delirium, something I could not have done, had AI not existed, because without AI I simply can not type, because the nerves have not yet recovered in my hands from the November 14, 2013 golf club attack that paralyzed me.

So what exactly is it that I am doing here?

In the pink bordered blocks titled "My question:" I am typing my thoughts, observations, questions, etc.

After each pink question block, is a black bordered answer box.

In the black bordered blocks titled "ChatGPT5's answer:" the AI program is typing it's thoughts, observations, answers, etc. in response to what I said to it.

While there are lots of AI programs out there, the one I use on these conversations is ChatGPT. I started doing these ChatGPT conversation articles in 2023, publishing them a few times a week the entire of 2023, at first with ChatGPT2, then ChatGPT3, then ChatGPT3.5, then ChatGPT4.o, each article states which version is being used, so you can actually see the changes in how ChatGPT talks and reacts over each edition.

In all I have made over one thousand of these "conversations with ChatGPT" articles since 2023.

Since August 2025, the articles are using ChatGPT5.

If you would like to try doing this yourself, here is the link to ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/

So, let's go... let's ask ChatGPT some things and see what it has to say back...



By Wendy C Allen

My question:

National Novel Writing Month is now days away, and I know you already gave me a bunch of writing prompts, but I feel like having more writing prompts today, this time in a slightly different format, that way I have plenty of options, because last year, 30 prompts wasn't enough because once I got in the groove, I was writing 10 drabbles and 3 or 5 flash fiction DAILY, meaning I used up 30 prompts in just 3 days. And I'll probably do that again this year, so I think we should make a bunch of extra writing prompts now in case.

The format for these should go like this:

Title of Story:
Word of the Day:
Flavour of the Day:
Scent of the Day:
Today's Weather:

For example:

Title of Story: Cooking Cakes with Wild Flowers
Word of the Day: Marigold
Flavour of the Day: Bitter lemons.
Scent of the Day: Sticky flowers.
Today's Weather: Foggy with hints of rain.


I need at least 30 of these.

Would you like me to make another 30 in the same format but themed — for instance:

  • “Kitchen & Food prompts”
  • “Silk & Weaving prompts”
  • “Seaside prompts”
  • “Magic & Necromancy prompts”?

That way you’d have a few sets sorted by mood or subject for your NaNoWriMo sessions.



My question:

These are perfect. Exactly what I was looking for.

Yes let's have another list. How about seaside these, but keep in mind the type of seaside Quaraun lives at (consult your custom instructions and memory banks for lore information about MoonSnail Cove, Noodle Beach, The Black Tower Lighthouse, Silent Moore, the estuary, the tidal pools, the MerMan, etc), because I cannot use prompts for warm tropical southern or Pacific seaside. Seaside prompts risk being incredibly useless to me if they are geared towards the wrong type of seaside. My stories are set in Maine but in the far future after Maine coast has become more like SeaWall and Bay of Fundy. Its spine trees apples, grapes, and roses that grow here, not pineapple, oranges, or palm trees. Its bitter cold and windy even in summer, and winters are long, ready, and subzero.


ChatGPT5's answer:

Excellent — and thank you for clarifying that so precisely. I understand: this must be the Vesontan coast — bleak, northern, post-impact, salt-bitten — more akin to a frozen Bay of Fundy after centuries of ice thickening and the tides gnawing away the bones of drowned towns. We are not doing tropical imagery. These are for MoonSnail Cove, Noodle Beach, and the Black Tower Lighthouse: subarctic tidepools rimed in frost, whales in the estuary fog, the hiss of kelp under ice, and the slow thunder of frozen surf.

Here are 30 seaside-themed writing prompt sets built specifically for your world’s coastlines.

My question:

very good, let's continue on, same format, another 30, this time the NaNoWriMo writing prompts are the next batch to focus on silk & weaving prompts (textural imagery, threads, patterns, tactile moods)

We’re moving now from hearth heat to the hush of the loom room—soft threads whispering, silk gleaming under lamplight, Quaraun’s hands meticulous and patient as snow falls outside the tower.

All are written for Vesonta’s cold coastal world, with its soft pink silk, frosted glass, and quiet patience.

Would you like the next batch (another 30) to follow the thread further—perhaps tailoring & garment prompts (robes, ribbons, mending, fitting, fabric, attire)—or to return to BoomFuzzy’s culinary world for a “Winter Bakery & Confectionery” theme next?



My question:

very good, let's continue on, same format, another 30, this time the National Novel Writing Month 2025 (& NovNov aka Novel November) writing prompts are the next batch to focus on potions making, spell crafting (think Vancian type magic but without the memory lost, or AD&D2ed type magic, or Witcher games alchemy, or Harry Potter type Snape potions master type magic, or Harry Potter wand type magic, mixed with real world Hoodoo Rootwork type magic) (aka, magic in this world requires a lot of convoluted gathering ingredients, mixing potions and elixirs, rare ingredients, steeping wands in potions so the wands absorb the spells, magic salts made with herbs and oils , magic crystals made by soaking them in boxes of magic salt, lots of memorizing grimoire texts, prayer candles in glass jars, grisgris, sachet bags, mojo bags, honey jar spells, using graveyard dirt and coffin nails as ingredients, etc).

Keep in mind that in addition to other things, Quaraun is the world's most powerful, and most feared wizard of all time; boomFuzzy is the 2nd most powerful wizard of all time, and GhoulSpawn is the third. These are mind boggling god tier mega powered wizards.

And Quaraun doesn't just weave silk, he makes magic items out of that silk (bags of holding, cloaks of many things, etc) Quaraun is also a glass blower making his own magic bottles to hold his potions in. And Quaraun makes hoodoo oils, hoodoo salts, hoodoo sachet bags (think like the stuff sold on the Lucky Mojo website). And Quaraun makes hand thrown kiln fired clay pottery on a potters wheel, and makes magic item jars and mugs and bowls and jugs and pots and plates that way too.

BoomFuzzy ins't JUST a master chef, he is a FAERIE chef of the UnSeelie Court. That means he makes a shit ton load of magic mushroom based potions; plus he's the one who makes the honey jar spells, and tends to the Papa Legba and Baran Sambi and Geedee shrines. (You often forget that BoomFuzzy is a Black man with strong connections to PNG Animism religion, New Orleans Voodoo, Hoodoo Rootwork, and Loa worship.)

GhoulSpawn, being a literal Demon from literal Hell, is a sorcerer aka meaning he has natural born elemental HellFire powers (he can form fireballs in his bare hands, turn rivers of water to rivers of magma, summon hell hounds, hell sheep, and lava chickens, etc).

These three wizards are rarely at the lighthouse or biodome, because they travel the world as merchant mages, travelling vagabond wizards; yes Quaraun sells mundane silk items and mundade glass and pottery, yes BoomFuzzy sells mundane food from his food truck. But primarily they are wizards for hire peddling magic items, magic potions, magic elixirs, doing card readings, doing tea leaf or coffee grounds readings.

So, let's have a set of 30 writing prompts (same format as before) but that focus on the potion making and spell crafting side of things this time.


ChatGPT5's answer:

Perfect. This next sequence is the alchemy and witchcraft cycle—thirty atmospheric NaNoWriMo / NovNov prompts rooted in potion brewing, spell crafting, ritual, and the tactile magics of roots, bones, glass, and silk.
Each prompt reflects Quaraun’s meticulous craft, BoomFuzzy’s sensual Faerie Hoodoo, and GhoulSpawn’s infernal sorcery—the holy trinity of Vesontan wizardry at their travelling best: brewing by campfire, glass bottles cooling in snow, silk sachets tied with trembling hands.

Do you want me to make that batch next?



My question:

Quaraun is The Pink Necromancer, and of course necromancy means dealing with corpses, cemeteries, graveyards, etc. They frequently are found in graveyards, tombs, and cemeteries, robbing graves, breaking into crypts, digging up graves, gathering graveyard dirt or bones or dead men's hair or old hags fingernails and coffin nails and other sorts of necromancer type things. Quaraun, is a massive germaphobe so refuses to dig or touch dirt or do anything other than lounge around in his pink silks, barking orders to BoomFuzzy and GhoulSpawn who do all the actual work while Quaraun sips pink lemonade and panics about germs. Let's have 30 prompts (same format as before) that reflect this aspect of their lives.

My thoughts on the Rapture 2025 Rumours, that are on both Etiole's birthday and my 50 year anniversary: September 23rd:





What Is This Site?

I'm an author. This is an author home page. It's about me, my life, my books, my hobbies, my home town, and anything else that applies to me and my life. 

Since starting my writing career in 1978, I have written 130+ novels, 2,000+ short stories, 6,000+ non-fiction articles (ALL are found on this site), a few dozen stage plays, 12,000+ blog posts, and a few comic book scripts for Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck (I only worked for Disney one year (in 2005) and only wrote a few stories for their Danish comic books).

NOTE: I ONLY write the Quaraun series (aka The Twighlight Manor series aka The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane). In recent years there has been an issue with impersonators trying to pass books off as written by me, notably several non-fiction and Erotica books. I write neither nonfiction nor Erotica.

ALL of my books and their cover arts are listed on my website here. Beware of any books you find claiming to be me. If the books are NOT listed here on my website, they are NOT my books.

In fiction works, I specialize in Weird/Bizarro Tales set in 40th century CyberPunk-Quasi Medieval, Cozy Dark Fantasy and Science Fiction worlds featuring an intersex Elf and his Faerie husband main characters.  I DO NOT WRITE ANY OTHER SERIES - THIS SERIES IS THE ONLY ONE I WRITE.

Non-fiction (found ONLY here on my site) is daily updates of events in my life, and how-tos on how I write my novels.

I DO NOT write Erotica.

I DO NOT write books with HUMAN characters.

The Erotica books and books with Human characters, that you are finding, are written by scammers trying to impersonate me.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter. If you find any such books, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

The FBI believes the people behind the impersonation accounts showing up, are relatives of the woman who murdered my son.

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.

And I'm sick of real estate agents who are too incompetent to research land ownership before they show up to stick a for sale sign in my yard.

The fact of the matter is, my son was murdered in 2013, and the friends and family of the murderer think it is funny to keep ILLEGALLY listing my land for sale, because apparently their child murdering bitch friend didn't hurt me enough by crippling me with a golf club, ripping my baby out of my 8 month pregnant belly and beating his brains out on the ground with a golf club.

Also, her friends and family like to gaslight me by doxing me on ufo and alien abduction forums, while pretending to be me, and trying to make it look like I believe in ufos or aliens, even though I think people who believe in ufos are raving lunatics and people who claim to be alien abductees are crazy. 

Worse, they've also taken to harassing my WW2 vet homeless friend, by calling HIM an alien, demon, or cryptid and sending alien crazy ufo nutjobs at try to "catch him".

So, yeah, my son was murdered and the murder's friends and family endlessly harass me, my friends, and my family both online and offline, and I'm not happy with it at all.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter.

The FBI is looking for information into:

  1. identifying my son's murderer, 
  2. identifying the scammers who listed my land for sale, 
  3. identifying the impersonators who pretend to be me both online and offline, 
  4. the harassers who are harassing the homeless man and sending the UFO nuts to harass him... 
  • If ANYONE tells you 146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach, Maine is for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322
  • If ANYONE tells you I believe in aliens, demons, or UFOS, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322
  • If ANYONE tells you my homeless friend is an alien, a demon, a cryptid, or named Etiole for sale:, please report them to FBI Agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322


I'm going to repeat it because I'm tired of people showing up and making offers:

146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, is NOT FOR SALE.

There is NO ONE who has authorization to use my land.

NO ONE.

Not my mother.

Not my father.

Not Ben.

Not my mother’s Atwater relatives.

No one.

If ANY ONE hires you to do ANYTHING on my land, know that you are doing it ILLEGALLY and WITHOUT my knowledge or permission.

My mother has ZERO legal right to hire you to do anything at 146 Portland Ave. Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

My father has ZERO legal right to hire you to do anything at 146 Portland Ave. Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

Ben has ZERO legal right to hire you to do anything at 146 Portland Ave. Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

My mother’s Atwater relatives have ZERO legal right to hire you to do anything at 146 Portland Ave. Old Orchard Beach, Maine.


Strange Update - October 22, 2025:

Where you someone who donated money to the Saco Ward Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints between 2013 and 2019, thinking you were donating to a "house fund" to help rebuild my house? If so, you were scammed, and the FBI is trying to help you get your money back...

Another aspect of the FBI investigation, for which the FBI is seeking information, is the apparent "fundraiser scam" being done by someone very local, at multiple churches in the Saco/Arundel/Biddeford area. I found out about it when a woman, claiming to be from The Saco Ward Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, marched up to me one day and said:

--"My name is Ester Rhodes, what ever became of the ten thousand dollars I gave you? You never rebuilt your house. Where did my money go?"

I had never seen the woman before, nor had I ever heard her name before and no one has ever given me any money at all, not even pennies, let alone a massive amount like $10k, so I was left baffled and confused by this woman. an elderly woman, maybe around 80 years old.

I had no knowledge of any such fundraiser - I am STILL homeless, now in 2025, as a result of the 2013 backhoe driving over my house, and had anyone given me money to rebuild I certainly would have as I am in desperate need of a house, as being homeless has contributed to my progressively worsening health. But I had never known of this fundraiser, I never authorized or created any fundraisers, and no one has ever given me any money. So had this Easter Rhodes woman not contacted me, I never would have known there was a fundraiser or that people had tried to help me.

Because... NO ONE has EVER helped me AT ALL, and so I'm shocked to learn that, wow, there actually where some people out there who tried to help and I never knew about it because instead of helping me directly they decided to indirectly help through some fundraiser I never heard of that turned out to be a scam that stole their money and never helped me at all.

I asked her what she was talking about and she explained that a "young man in his 30s" had approached her one Sunday during church services at The Saco ward Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, and told her he was part of the fundraiser to rebuild my house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, after the crazy lunatic with a backhoe drove over it August 8, 2013.

She further went on to say she gave the man $10k because he told her I was a member of the Saco ward church. Thing is, I am NOT a member of that church and have never attended that church. I am a member of the CAPE ELIZABETH Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a church with a similar name but it a 2 hour drive away from the church she was talking about and claimed she attended.

I have no clue who this Easter rhodes woman is or if her story is true. The FBI is seeking information about Esther Rhodes woman, the fundraiser her Saco ward Church claimed it was doing in my name, or any one who might have been doing the fundraiser.

If you or anyone you know gave money to this fundraiser, you are asked to contact the FBI and tell them how you were contacted, who contacted you, how much money you gave them, and also, to contact a lawyer to try to help you trace the scammer who stole your money and get your money back.

As of yet, the FBI has found multiple people claiming to have given money TO THE BISHOPIRIC of the Saco Ward Church for said fund raiser, over a period between 2013 and 2019. It is believed that a former Bishop and two of his counselors are behind the scam, and used the money to build an $eight million dollar mansion in Old Orchard Beach, now known to belong to one of the three suspects, even though none of the three of them has an income of more then twenty thousand dollars a year. The FBI recently confiscated the mansion which is now for sale and the money from the sale is to be returned to the people who donated it to the scam fundraiser, providing the people can prove they were the ones who donated the money.

If you were part of the fundraiser, that in 2013-ish was claiming to be raising money for me, please contact the FBI agent in charge of my son's murder investigation, and give him the details.

I know nothing about it, so it is useless for you to contact me (a few people have done so already and, I was clueless as to what they were even talking about - they contacted me asking how they could get their "cut of the money from the $8million house sale" and that was the first I heard of it. The FBI never said anything to me about it, so I don't know where the people contacting me are getting the info that the FBI confiscated the $8million mansion and is given the money back to people... like I said, I had no knowledge of any such fundraiser at all, and I don't know what this $8million house is people are asking about either, so you really need to contact the FBI about it not me, as I'm not involved in any such fundraiser or at all.

It is important to note here that it is NOT the FBI who has informed me about this fundraiser or the $8million mansion, but rather it is a plethora of locals around Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, and Arundel coming up to me and asking me how are they supposed to get their money back from the sale of some $8million mansion, and I have no information on this at all because i don't even know what the $8million house is that they are even talking about.

The FBI is looking into Esther Rhodes and her claims of having given me $10k via a fundraiser, and the FBI confirmed a former Bishop was connected and being looked into... and that is the only part the FBI told me of. The rest of the fundraiser stuff about the confiscated $8million mansion is stuff coming from people claiming they saw "news reports" about it and are coming to me trying to get their "cut"... and is some sort of wild rumour that is recently circulating, which I don't know the source of.... and also shows me that people want to help if they think they can get money out of it, but also shows me that they don't give a fucking rats ass about finding my son's murderer.

I don't know what is this $8million mansion people are talking about. All I know is multiple people from various churches in the Saco area, have approached me while I was out walking my dog to ask me how they could “get a cut of the $8million” and when I ask what are they talking about, they claim to have donated money (citing very large amounts in the thousands) to a fundraiser that they claim was in my name, and they claim was to build me a house. They claim the FBI has stated an $8million mansion was built in Old Orchard Beach, and that the FBI confiscated it and is selling it, and is using the money from the sale to give the money donated back to the donors. 

The old woman who called herself “Esther Rhodes” was the first person to bring it to my attention. She claims to have donated ten thousand dollars. 

I have no knowledge, nor connection, to any such fundraiser. Nor am I aware of any eight million dollar mansion. Nor am I aware of any such mansion being confiscated by the FBI. Nor am I aware of the FBI giving out free money to anyone. I also do not know where these people are getting their information.

In any case, throughout the summer of 2025, total strangers are continually walking up to me with this same story, all claiming to have made donations towards building me a house via some fundraiser. Near as I can tell the fundraiser happened in fall 2013 and lasted to at least 2019, based on dates people say a dark haired man in his 30s approached them.

Near as I can tell, someone did a fundraiser in my name, a lot of people donated to it, a church leaders of a church in Saco was supposedly head of the fundraiser, then used the money to build a mansion for themselves, somewhere in Old Orchard Beach, said mansion is now being sold, and said donors want their money back, because no house was ever built for me.

Four of them have claimed as well that they thought the little brown log cabin next door to me at 144 Portland Ave was the house they paid for to build.

Another is claiming they paid to have a septic tank put in.

However, as you can plainly see if you drive by 146 Portland Ave, no house has been built, no septic tank was installed, no electricity was hooked up, no running water was connected… and as of today October 22, 2025, I am still homeless, and sleeping nights at various relatives homes in the area.

I don't know who of these people to believe. But most of them are EXTREMELY ANGRY,  full blown raging inferno, to learn that they donated to build me a house and I never received it.

Because of how incredibly MEGA ANGRY these people are, I am inclined to believe that they did in fact donate large amounts of money to something intending it to go to building me a house.

I am just utterly flabbergasted to be finding out about this now TWELVE YEARS LATER.

If YOU reading this right now, are someone who donated money to this fundraiser that I didn't even know existed,  please contact Andy Drewer, the FBI agent who is in charge of all the investigation connected to me, and tell him.

Telling ME about it does no good as I am not a witness to you donating money, so if I tell the FBI what you told me, that's just third party hearsay. YOU YOURSELF must tell the FBI about the money you donated, if you actually to help with the FBI investigation. 

But also, I had no clue you people were donating money to anything.

NO ONE HAS EVER HELPED ME, NOT ONCE, EVER! Not friends, not family, not relatives, not neighbours, not locals, not church, not government - NO ONE EVER, NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON... NOT EVEN ONCE this entire 12 years , so, I had no idea you people were trying to help. Whatever help you people thought you was doing, it never got to me and I was never even aware it was going on.

Whoever it is you were giving money to, it was NOT me, and I knew nothing about this fundraiser at all.

Someone scammed you, but I don’t know who.

I have no information for you, so coming to me and asking for info on it is pointless, because I didn’t even know any of this was going on.

If you gave anything to anyone thinking it was going to me, TELL FBI agent Andy Drewer @207–774–9322 so the FBI can figure out who scammed you, where your money went, and how you can get it back.
