It might be my birthday, but today you are getting a present!
Heard of my weekly-ish series S0NJ4? Well I spend some time making a pretty PDF version of my favorite plural doll stumbling through my cyberpunk dystopia in the search for repairs, and it's now up on :patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MiaRoseWinter/posts/s0nj4-volume-1-165867036 !
There is also an e-Pub, but if you want fancily formatted system logs, prettied up chat logs and an overall mindful typesetting for your enjoyment, Volume 1 is here! :3

Today's story is called Rising Tide and is... maybe more of an atmospheric piece, but I am interested in your opinions on it. :neocat_angel:
I must admit I also just really wanted to finally publish a story with Annabel in it :neocat_pleading: If you read my other things you.. will see her again a few times. For reasons. :neocat_boop_happy:

If you're American, when you were taught cursive, did you learn that the common American #cursive is called "Spencerian" script?
I did not learn this until I got into #fountainpens later in life and initially thought it was some British thing like "Edwardian" or "Elizabethan" calligraphy.

Week 1 of #Swordtember2024 The Aspect of the Shrike. During the century of darkness, ancient and terrible creatures ruled the land, sky and seas, one such was a great wyrm. Her true name is lost to time; however, she was given a common name by her unique way of dealing with her enemies, impaling her victims on long barbs she called from the very earth. It’s said that both the sword and mortal who struck her through retained an aspect of her great power.

I almost feel bad for people who call themselves "AI artists" or "auto-artists."
They have no idea what it's like to experience the labor of creation.
They will never know what it's like to spend a year, two years, five years, or decades, honing a craft, developing a relationship with their artistry, searching deep inside themselves for what it is they have to say, and then saying it with all their might.
They are like someone walking into a crowded room, pointing to a fully grown stranger and claiming, "I raised this person from childhood! I am a parent!"
Obviously, they are lying. To the world, to the stranger, and to themselves. There is something tragic in that.

Writing and reading are not about mass-produced stories that can be consumed like a cheap hamburger or used like a piece of particleboard furniture. A novel, a poem, a nonfiction book--whatever--is a shared experience.
The author, even if they are a ghost writer, is putting a piece of their soul into the work, experiencing it as they write it, and you absorb it into your own soul / mind / spirit, when you read.
The act of writing itself is a form of spiritualism, of meditation.
That is why AI will never replace the written word of human beings. Because writing is creation, writing is reading, and writing is sacred.
AI has no soul. It is a literal automaton. It doesn't matter. It is empty. I am not afraid of it, but I will not use it in my writing, or my writing too will become empty, which I refuse to allow.

I wrote 7728 in March. Wrote every single day, so my writing streak for this year has gone unbroken yet again, so there's a win. Brought my ytd total up to 29,431, which is about half of what I did all last year. #writing #amwriting #fiction
📚 Here's another Douglas Adams treat: half an hour with the man himself talking about the writing of Hitchhikers…

I didn't write as much in February as I did in January. 5125 words. But I did write every single day, so I've written something every day this year so far. I tried to not float around between ideas as much this month, which I think held me back. My ADD does not like to be restricted to one project. #amwriting #writing #fanfiction #fiction
