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.
July, I am hoping to release my coloring book – Color My Art – and Quiet Screams and a new one Titled Anthology Alumni. I, as you can see from the lack of links, have not gotten a confirmation that I will be able to do all three of them in July.
I already have my kids week title in preparation. It is currently in the editor’s hands, and I am about to do the illustration in June.
About Anthology Alumni… Quite a few of my poems have been published in various places. Anthologies, websites, and ezines. I don’t usually put them in my volumes once I submit them to other things. So, I thought I would gather all of them up. Note where the original publication – if any – is. And create a new volume. Below 👇 is the cover for this.
