See That Bear?

That’s Nellie.
& that’s where I’ll be, all month.

You can look forward to lots of short posts.

Like this one.

Today I went to the local NaNoWriMo write-in, and took photos. Now I am very, very tired.

So… a bunch of young chix and one grandpa? Or was he just stopping by? And everyone with a terrific laptop!
Writin’ ain’t what it used to be: ink-stained wretches and always male.
Except for Louisa May, of course.

Yes! The table absolutely bloomed with young pretty women and laptops — and there, at the head of the table, yet — me and that other geezer.

Ancestral (Artificial )Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. For me, writing is how I think, and I prefer to do it myself. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

I have changed this from Artificial to Ancestral, after Abi Awomosu @ Substack. This medium was made with human history, human thought. All of it, bright and dark. It is ancestral.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
