Tells and Engs

Michael

Jilletta is a tell. It is all that she has ever known or cared to do. Yet she doesn’t always like her work. She is good at her work. She should be, since she is the daughter of the greatest tell ever. Her father was considered to be at the apex of the art. His…

The Storm of Abstractness

Carolyn

I painted my very first actually abstract painting. I honestly have absolutely no clue what it is. It looks kind of like a storm, so that’s why I called it The Storm of Abstractness. It would probably sound more professional if I dropped the -ness on the abstractness, but I’ll live if it’s not perfect,…

The Emotional Painting

Carolyn

The reason I call this painting the Emotional Painting is because it has a big, black streak down the middle, symbolizing the hurt, and hatred and darkness that can lie beneath the happy, calm person on the outside. Yet the two shades of pink I used right next to the black streak symbolizes the love…

ChatGPT – AI Writing – More thoughts

Michael

I read somewhere that Clarkesworld Magazine closed submissions due to an influx of AI generated stories. I don’t know if that is true or not, but if you look on their site, they do say “We are not considering stories written, co-written, or assisted by AI at this time.”I don’t think that we should be…

50% Evil – Revised

Michael

I recently shared a draft of this short piece. I generally have an optimistic view of the world, so I was endeavoring to write an ‘opposite’. I had an idea that this might be a way to start a bit of satire. Perhaps, you can see the potential. This is (I think) better than the…

Blogging Stuff

Michael

There are a lot of people that blog (or perhaps, journal) on a daily basis. I am not one of those people. I have claimed (mostly to myself) that I want to write a book. I have been making that claim for about 4 or 5 years now. I even took a “Creative Writing Habits”…

Test Post

Carolyn

This word account was frustrating to set up. I honestly am liking the way the letters appear on the screen in this nice rhythm…… why do the periods shrink whenever you type them in groups. Dad just trolled me that it’s because it’s an ellipse. I spelled that right first try by the way. I’m…

ChatGPT – AI Writing

Michael

Ruining the market? I read an article about how ChatGPT is now the author or co-author of over 200 books on Amazon. It is expected that there are many more that haven’t disclosed the use of ChatGPT in the writing. I briefly toyed with the idea, thinking that it might help me be more confindent…

My Handprint Painting

Carolyn

My painting I’d like to describe and explain about is my handprint painting. I did mostly cool colors for the handprint. I actually painted my hand and pressed it to the page to make the handprint! I had to wash my hands after that, but it’s ok. Making a mess on your hand can be…

“I happen to be painting a very large bruise”

Carolyn

The title for this blog post is a little strange at first glance. The title was from a comic strip, Big Nate. He was hogging the reds and the blues and when Mr. Rosa, the art teacher, came and saw, he said “I happen to be painting a very large bruise”, so that’s where the…
