No, except when i&#8217;m experimenting and then i make it clear what&#8217;s ai and what&#8217;s not.<\/li>\n<li>Long answer. I started writing in the early 1970s when paper and pen\/pencil were the only tech options, at least as far as i knew. I grew up on notebooks fat and slim, big and small. One day in the mid-1990s i threw all of those notebooks away because i felt they were holding me back. From that time on i switched to mainly computer with notebooks as ancillary (but necessary and still very useful). That&#8217;s the tech i used until the late 2010s when i started to deliberately integrate phone, tablet, voice recordings, and cloud servers into the process. So i&#8217;d say the tech i use now is 70% computer (i mean word processor, Firefox, other bits and bobs), 10% pen and notebooks (cheap pens, spendy pens, i have a couple of fountain pens, Leuctherm notebooks, scraps of paper, palm of a hand (usually my own hand) &#8230;), 15% voice recorder, and 5% tablet (drawing apps, editing apps, etc.). I also have a hard copy of the Compact OED, i mean the actual big book, which i paid 300 USD for in the mid-1990s and which is a nice, pleasantly bulky physical object to use in writing and feels very mid-18th century &#8211; in order to consult it, everything else has to stop for five minutes, it has to be pulled down from the shelf, opened like an oracle-chest, read with a magnifying glass etc. and then after all that who wants to write any more, so a cup of tea usually follows the consultation.\n<ul>\n<li>As for AI, i like it for some research and summary functions, but even for that it&#8217;s shortcomings are such as to make it half useless. I used it to summarize Chapter 2 of Paolo Freire&#8217;s <em>Pedagogy of the Oppressed<\/em>. In that chapter the author uses the term &#8220;adaptation&#8221; to refer to a very negative phenomenon, but the ai summary treated it as a positive thing, something to be desired and achieved. So the whole ai summary was a massive distortion. Again, i used it to tell me the walking route from one part of New York City to another. It got it wrong. So when can a writer trust the ai? pretty much never.&nbsp;AI writing style is really bad, and its confidence in its writing and its feedback is a major drawback as it tends to shut down discussion.<\/li>\n<li>I am doing a project in which i&#8217;m trying to use ai to help me quickly write a novel (i don&#8217;t consider it a novel, but most people will). Again, at the word-phrase-sentence-paragraph level it&#8217;s very bad at writing while also being supremely confident. At the large-scale level (planning an entire novel or film script) it&#8217;s no better than any of the tech that has existed for centuries. At the medium level (chapter, scenes, weaving the small-scale into the whole) it&#8217;s even worse as it cannot sense the forces, stakes, and tensions that connect the small scale with the whole. So for literary fiction ai is pretty much a washout.<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, it&#8217;s beta-reader style feedback is useful and i think can be made even more so. There&#8217;s much more on this topic in that novel project. <strong>LINK<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span id=\"publish\"><strong>Why did you wait so long to begin publishing?<\/strong><\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Well, at first i didn&#8217;t wait, and the result was rejections.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>My writing has always been too odd to make a profit for publishers. I didn&#8217;t know that until i was in my 40s, but publishers saw it on page 1.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Before age 45 i did publish in a few small literary journals (&#8220;Triptych&#8221; was my first work to be published). Those journals have gone away now.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>At about 53 i got very sick and everything changed for me, including my perception of writing and publishing. I determined to finish some work and submit it for publication to experimental publishers and journals. I finished <em>Satyricon III<\/em> and <em>Breakfast in a strange land; Momento Phainos<\/em>, and sent those books to one publisher each, but only got two rejection. I should have kept sending them out, but the process turns my soul to ash, so I didn&#8217;t. I also finished several smaller pieces that i didn&#8217;t send out. Keep in mind, rejections can take a long time to receive, so each rejection adds a huge chunk of time to the process. I got the rejection for <em>Breakfast in a strange land<\/em> 13 months after submitting it. Publishers are overwhelmed. The whole set-up is clunky.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>During my 50s i thought more deeply about publishing and about audience (i&#8217;ve got a project planned called &#8220;Readers are not People&#8221; that will try to understand what is &#8220;audience&#8221; and how it relates to writing and artistic production). That&#8217;s when i decided that my goal is to create, not necessarily to publish, and that publishing is a very different creative process than writing. People treat them like they&#8217;re related, but they&#8217;re fundamentally not. They&#8217;re articulated, but not genetically related.<\/li>\n<li>One of the things that bothered me about traditional publishing is that a writer&#8217;s work gets distributed over a wide range of journals and other outlets, and so it&#8217;s difficult for readers to get a full experience of the artist&#8217;s work. To overcome this and the other difficulties of traditional publishing, i finally decided to self-publish.<\/li>\n<li>All this time, keep in mind, i had a full-time job as a university lecturer, as well as a personal life. Also, the writing is my core interest, not the publishing. So that added a lot of time to the publishing process.<\/li>\n<li>After deciding to self-publish, I spent several years editing and polishing my work, and designing a website. By 2024 i was ready to make things happen. But in summer of 2024 i got a new idea &#8211; seasonal self-publishing. This set the schedule back a bit. I also made a new plan to pay more for branding and less for web design. This also set the schedule back a bit. The branding was finished in early 2025 and i searched for web designers to help me, but nobody answered my queries except a handful of companies and individuals who declined the job. Struggling with this step, while asking ChatGPT to help me improve my query letter to web designers, the ai told me i could do the website myself with ai help. I scoffed at first, but then gave it a try and &#8211;<\/li>\n<li>Shazam! whoa! it was fast and easy. I had the landing page up in a weekend (www.birdandocean.com). That was April 2025.<\/li>\n<li>The blog was more difficult. I worked on the blog all spring and summer of 2025, on the tech and the contents, while also developing a publicity\/marketing plan. The best window to do a big grand opening was September 2025, but i couldn&#8217;t be fully ready by that time. I had too much happening in my life (work, possible change of jobs and homes, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>I didn&#8217;t want a weak launch, so i scheduled it this way:&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li>February 2026: light launch<\/li>\n<li>Late August-early September 2026: full launch, 100% energy and focus on the launch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>And that&#8217;s my story.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span id=\"novel\"><strong>What do you have against novels?<\/strong><\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Short answer: Nothing. But i don&#8217;t like the taxonomy that has developed and calcified around novels. If you like, you can read my article called <strong>&#8220;There&#8217;s not such as sub-genres&#8221; LINK<\/strong>. It goes into more detail.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Long answer:&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li>When i was submitting <em>Satyricon III<\/em> to publishers of experimental literary work, i would regularly come across publishers&#8217; websites that asked you to clarify whether your experimental work was poetry, short story, or novel. That&#8217;s it. No other options. I get it from the publisher&#8217;s point of view. They&#8217;re swamped with submissions; writers often pay no attention to submission guidelines, which causes publishers to waste a lot of time sorting things out; and livelihoods are at stake, these books have to cover costs and put food into people&#8217;s mouths. The process has to be made more efficient if publishers are going to survive. But this experience, and all the thoughts that followed, confirmed my idea that traditional publishing wasn&#8217;t going to work for me.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Novels, the idea of the taxonomical category &#8220;novel&#8221;, is great for marketing, great for getting work from the ideas in a writer&#8217;s head to the book in a reader&#8217;s hands. It&#8217;s great. But it doesn&#8217;t really have much to do with my work or my goals.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>I want to write from a direct experience of life. Language meets life. That includes form or genre. When starting a new project i have to ask &#8220;What form? what form can capture this experience of life and bring it into language?&#8221; If a book like <em>Satyricon III<\/em> is approached as if it were a novel, well then a big chunk of my efforts to bring language directly to bear upon an experience of life &#8211; that disappears. The effort and the possibilities disappear. The book just becomes a rather odd, over-indulgent novel. But it&#8217;s not a novel. It&#8217;s a satyricon. If you read it with no expectation that it should be novel-ish, you&#8217;ll have a richer experience of the book.&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li>Here&#8217;s a funny note. The cover designer for <em>Satyricon III<\/em>, a really great person to work with, did a wonderful job, in the black space on the right of the design he originally had the words &#8220;A Novel&#8221;. I didn&#8217;t explain why that wouldn&#8217;t work. But i erased those words. The blank, to my mind, works better.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>I know, i am painfully aware, that all of this makes potential readers drop away. They turn aside and go find novels to read. I&#8217;m aware of that. But i remember a Reddit post i read a long time ago about dating. The guy who wrote it said that rejection is your best friend. You should be totally you, don&#8217;t try to play games. If you get rejected, great, you&#8217;ve saved time. If you don&#8217;t get rejected, great, you&#8217;ve found someone who likes you for who you are. Sounds a little trite now that i write it down, but it&#8217;s good advice. Do your thing and let the world find what they like.<\/li>\n<li>I did learn, though, that i can be waaaay self-indulgent. So i make a big effort now to give readers a great experience from the first paragraph to the last. That&#8217;s why i appreciate beta-readers so much. A good beta-reader is the catalyst in the crucible that turns lead into gold.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>I really don&#8217;t know what kind of readers will enjoy my work, but i know they exist because beta-readers have enjoyed the work. Not all of them, of course, but enough to give me confidence that someone, somewhere is going to enjoy reading these books. And thank god for that because i have spent a helluva lot of time and money writing and publishing them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>So, yeah, i don&#8217;t have anything against novels. But i think readers who want fresh experiences benefit from discarding the whole taxonomy that exists now, all of the genres and sub-genres and so on.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>For example, reading Gulliver&#8217;s Travels as a travelogue is much more interesting than reading it as if it were a novel (which it isn&#8217;t). And the great Chinese works <em>Xi You Ji<\/em> and <em>Hong Lou Meng<\/em>, to think of them as novels strips away from them a good chunk of their genius. These are books that attempted to represent life, not to novel-ize life. To represent it directly, without reference to a pre-existing genre. The form had to be created. And to create those forms was a magnificent achievement, one that&#8217;s overlooked if you consider them simply to be novels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span id=\"AI_me_riff\"><strong>Why is your site so full of #BAD(crap, old_stuff, junk, shit, wank, piss, loser)?<\/strong><\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>This stabilization is one stabilization.
