So I am finally done with writing Quiet Screams… and I have Anthology Alumni completed. I normally ask for suggestions on what volume is next… but I think that is not the case this time.
I have several that are in progress and I am going to try to get them done… plus I had the urge to write a poem for On My Way Home. (Basically themed to the title 😄. ) So I am going to claim it as my new volume and work on it and then some of the other ones that are in my in progress folder.
I still have to get the coloring book (color my art) set up for publishing in July. However I have the setup for the two volumes above…links are in the last word for each title…
It shouldn’t be something I feel so virulent about. I am aware that AI has it’s uses. I just cannot accept that it is being pushed into the creative space.
Drawing, writing, and other creative endeavors are not something that should be easily reproduced…
I have since 2014 used Evernote for my writing. It allowed me to do a notebook for each volume. It allowed me to organize me…
Evernote decided to send out an Email. Not only were they raising the price…to almost double….which I really dislike but would be fine with paying because it feels like I had something that worked for me…
But they also announced that they were adding AI to “Clean up your notes after a meeting.”
Nope.
No way to opt out. Just here is AI. It will help you. Although I did reach out via email… and the response was that the AI was an optional thing…but when I said that they needed to say that because the original email said nothing about options… and I got a uhm response.
I dislike Microsoft products and avoid them like the plague. I only use windows because I cannot get a couple of my programs to function in Linux. However…Since I cannot find any other option that has all of the options I need other that Evernote…I switched to OneNote.
This is going to be a learning time for me.
I have no idea if I am going to be able to do the same amount of writing, or if it will help me write more…or what.
I saw somebody leap to the other world Jumping off the edge left behind his hope But he could fly for a second incredible I wonder what it was like when he finally fell
They say you hit the water and then it’s gone All the tears you cried all the pain you felt But is it worth all the hurt that you’ve probably caused When they find that you don’t make it back to shore
To be honest Sometimes I think about all of the same things I wish I could go back so I could change all of my memories ‘Cause all of them are sad All the drinks I had Turned into a pool of misery I wonder if I’m better drowning
I tell myself No no no no no no no no No I try to tell myself No no no no no no no no No
They celebrate the life that they never knew Can’t point out the elephant in the room Most people can’t understand what you’re going through So in the end does it matter the path you choose?
To be honest Sometimes I feel like I’m feeling the same things I wish there was a way that I could tell this to my family But they’d only be sad Maybe I don’t have Any point in being here It’s so unclear if I’m swimming or sinking
I tell myself No no no no no no no no No I try to tell myself No no no no no no no no No
I’ll turn my headlights on Speeding ‘cross the bridge No it won’t be long But I got to be strong
And I tell myself No no no no no no no no I gotta tell myself No no no no no no no no
And I tell myself No no no no no no no no I gotta tell myself No no no no no no no no
