Fantastic as always! Not only is it very interesting and well written, but it is also something I really needed. As someone who has decided to self-publish this is very useful and inspiring, and you emphasize that something created by man can never take the place of what God created with such perfection (the human mind and soul within us). I think you are doing a great job defending the humanity in us and the position of God in our lives as artists! Thank you very much for sharing! I really appreciate the effort! 😊
This means so much! 💙 Thank you💙 I'm glad this was able to help. All of the conspiratorial gobbledygook spinning around about AI drove me to write this. AI is just a tool, & it's beneficial. But, it will not replace human emotion, care, original thought, or creativity. God is the master Artist. Looking at creation we learn God loves diverse artistry & beauty in all of His creation. Look at quokkas & then look at panda bears. 😂 Pretty humorous artistry right? Self publishing...interesting. Leaning that way myself for an upcoming idea. What genre of stories are you gonna delight us with? Do tell! I can't take the suspense😳😂
Absolutely agree!! I have used AI a little in recent months and it is true that it helps, but we also have to be careful with the information we give it because, precisely as you say, AI absorbs everything we give it and could use that information to respond to another person in the other side of the world. That is why your proposal to always have a copyright to be able to protect our work and, more importantly, our thoughts and experiences seemed very right to me. God is the master Artist, for sure, and he is always telling us our individual value through creation and its unique details even among creatures of the same species. "Nothing happens the same way twice," C.S. Lewis once said, and I think that also applies to saying that God made us so special that He would never make two people exactly the same.
Well... I'd go with traditional publishing if I could, but I think I'll do it myself for now. I think you have done the same, right? I won't make you suffer any more suspense lol, I usually write fiction, from fantasy to mystery and drama. What about you? Do you write anything else? Or are wonderful poems enough for you?
Wholeheartedly agree. Being who we are in God as we are made is so important because we are each unique individuals. Love that quote by Lewis. Thanks for that. 💙 Yes, I have 2 ebooks out on Amazon that are self published. Learning & doing it all on my own was fun I will say. I have nothing against publishing houses though. Oh good, no more waitng 😂 I really,really,really love mysteries & drama. Some fantasy too. Cool! So we're gonna be best friends 😂 I've written historical fiction & poetry which are both self published. Currently, I am developing a mystery with drama involved, & I do enjoy writing essay style articles. So yeah I can be all over the map. 😂
"Wholeheartedly." I loved that word. I gave you a Lewis' quote and in return you gave me a magnificent word, I think we are even.
Self publishing is a little scary, but I guess it's not that bad, is it? What do you think based on your own experience? I have already printed a book for my mother, so I think I have more experience in the technical aspect than in publicity, layout and copyright protection haha. I'll take a look at your books! At least I will look for them, I don't promise that I can buy them. Best writer friends sounds pretty good. 😎 Historical fiction? Sounds great! I too am working on a mystery WIP! Another fantasy and another that I don't know whether to call it drama or romance... I think it's something similar to what Austen wrote, but I'm not sure. Essay style articles? Yeah, I think I know what you mean, and I love writing those types of articles! I already have a few drafts of that stuff lol.
Based on my limited experience, with self publishing you have control over everything, but you also have to do everything. Layout, book cover, copyright, editing, marketing etc...The appeal of self-publishing is right there in the name, the self-determination--even if you fail, at least it's you who's in control. No need to worry about scammers, or agendas pushed by publishing houses either.
It's a personal choice for the author & I believe God guides us each step of the way. So I recommend prayer😊 That's nice you printed a book for your mom. Yes, I like history so combining that with storytelling is like an ice cream sundae with all the toppings. Mysteries, dramance (aka dramatic romance), fantasy & essays you enjoy & are working on?! *rhetorical question..God definitely wanted our writing paths to cross one another. We enjoy the same literary genres. Cool! Yup, writing best friends! I'll see your favorite word & raise a you a quote from Søren Kierkegaard. "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards".
You are right, the best thing we can do in a moment of doubt is to seek guidance from the Lord. 😊 Thanks for the reminder. LOL I know it's a rhetorical question, but yes, I love working on several projects at once! It is fascinating that we like the same literary genres and enjoy the same creative processes. Let alone to think that it all started with writer's block, a poem and a question. God can definitely achieve great things from the most unexpected places (we have Christ as the first great example, who came from Nazareth and became the most precious treasure that any human could receive). Loved the quote, thank you! 💛
