Continue writing and readings about the cost of AI for artists. For me, art is meant to be a process. Not an empty focus on end product and profits.

I enjoyed the hell out of Feeding The Wheel @michaelboulerice.bsky.social. The characters were so distinct in their personalities: one jerk and one complicit jerk. It's a story about asking for too much, not asking enough questions, and finally letting go. [more on Goodreads] #tbr #horror #mustread

New short story approach. When I write spur of the moment, feelings only, I succeed in creation. But these are harder to place in mags. Writing to theme isn't my strength. How about writing to a market? I will attempt this starting in the Fall! #writingcommunity #writersky

AI doesn't understand jokes. It can't parse metaphors. It can't detect the rustle of the breeze hidden in the percussive consonants in this sentence, nor the shirring of the wheat field embedded in rhythmic S in that. It has no nuance, no subtlety, no place in literature.
