Not AI

There's a reason for the next six examples.

1. Marjorie walked into the room.

2. Marjorie saw three people in the room as she entered.

3. Two men and a women looked at Marjorie as she walked/entered the room. (Note to self: decide between entered and walked later)

4. Marjorie felt a blast of cold air from an open window as she opened the door and entered the room. (Note to self: add a few  words to describe what's outside the window. Smell of cars???)

5. What were people doing in the cold room, Marjorie wondered as she entered.

6. Rather than enter the cold room, where two men and a woman sat, Marjorie closed the door.

I'm a writer with 20 published books. https://dlnelsonwriter.com. Don't count. My newly published anthology The Corporate Virgin still isn't there.

I'm always working on some piece of writing. Characters and scenes are always with me.

I can rewrite a scene many ways. I can change a character's appearance at will, but it is all from my mind, not a computer eating electricity someplace. 

There are days when the words rush out of my brain into the book-to-be. Other days they have to dragged away from my brain cells, kicking and screaming. Or the words hide and I need to search with the ferocity of the FBI looking for a wealthy kidnapped child.

This is why I write. I write. I write. I write, not some algorithm.  

When I need to check a fact, I sometimes find a whole new story line or an interesting fact that I will explore later unless I take a break to explore it.

When I don't nail it, it focuses me to be better for the next day's writing. When I do nail it, I celebrate in many ways from a piece of black chocolate to a love fest with my dog, a cuddle with my husband, a glass of Coke Zero or even champagne, a walk where new ideas are triggered and I absorb what I see and it makes my life richer.

AI can be useful, but it doesn't replace the human mind. The art work with this blog was computer generated. I would never have done it if I had planned to use a real artist. It is not taking work from a REAL artist, which I am not. 

Writing can be frustrating, satisfying, joyful, tiring and any other adjective a human can think of. AI is not human. I want human.
