State Of My Art
I tell stories. Many times,
the same story to the same people ad nauseam. Often, I write those stories down
and sometimes put them into books, mostly children’s books. The books are my
words, often truncated or
sharpened by my editor, but nonetheless MY words. My books sell, dismayingly, not very well,
but my goal is to impact one kid. I love
to write. I struggle to market my work because I’d rather be writing another
book. So, despite being retired, writing
can be laborious. I perceive my writing as art. My art, my work, perhaps
delusionally, but I see it as art. I
want to get my concerns about Internet safety, bullying, domestic abuse, and
more in front of kids. The children’s book market is glutted with books,
ghost-written, AI-written with the goal of generating income, not helping kids.
The point of this diatribe is to
encourage book buyers to support human authors who care about their book
topics. AI writing is easy, human writing is much harder. AI Generated Me the real me.
