Happy Monday to you! I
love you, I appreciate you, I wish you a marvelous week!
I know I’ve mentioned my guilty pleasure of listening to AI written/narrated stories before, mostly I find them pretty funny. The better ones come out of the SF/F channels and the werewolf/lycan ones. I strongly suspect there is some human intervention there. True, they are pretty formulaic, but there’s nothing wrong with that. There are stories of romance, revenge, the Mafia, were’s, dragons—something for everyone. Just do not leave a comment on any of them.
What I’m wondering is, since I write poetry, and the occasional short story, why don’t I record them, and put them up on my YouTube channel? Well, ok, I know the reason—my voice is old, and it sounds old, I’d have to find someone to record them for me.
And, I know some of you, dear readers, are also writers. Why don’t you record some of your stories and put them up on YouTube? Monetize your channel and get paid something???!!!
Speaking of AI, and the fact that the stories can’t follow a timeline, have you noticed the White House staff also can’t follow a time line, or perform simple arithmetic? (yeah, numbers phobe that I am, even I figured that one out!) Staff came out and said that our Orange Pustule has just had his 6th month physical. Except he’s having them at four month intervals, according to John Iadarola on “The Damage Report,” the OP has been averaging a physical (and cognitive test?) every 123 days. That’s four months, not six.
I’ve had a couple of poems published in the June issue of Quill & Parchment, in case you’re ready for a poem or two ;-).
Walking the Plains of Sandpiper Hill is an ekphrastic and Springtime Fancies is from the line, then the bees came, and must be used in the poem, which is why it’s in italics in the poem. If you are one of my writing readers, I suggest you check out Quill & Parchment and if it looks like a fit for some of your work, consider submitting to them. They also print short stories now and then.
Yes, the geese and ducks, and the great blue heron, are walking on the water. No, it is not miraculous. The photo was taken 28 Jan 26, the pond is frozen. June is getting hot. I thought we could use a cool photo, yes?
Now that nail-less toe is happily healing, I hope to get back to my exercises this week, and to work on Thomas’s book/s. I’m currently thinking three of poetry and one of short stories. And also get back to my writing.
