Spring is an interesting season in Tasmania. She has not quite relinquished her grip on winter and there are storms and chilly temperatures, yet the birds and buds in the trees tease of warmer days ahead. I've come to learn that the sound of rain on a tin roof is a beautiful thing and the dam is filling nicely (perfect for the new turbo chook chicks and ducklings)- plus it's a wonderful day to be in the warm studio.
It's another writing day - and I'm beginning to see the vision I had for my client's second book take form. The more challenging the weave - the more vibrant the story - the more powerful the impact. Well that is the plan. There is still a lot of work to do but I feel the energy flowing through the pages now. The magic of ghostwriting for me is I often feel I am channeling the person I'm writing the book for - so it genuinely feels like their words on the page - and then the craft of the weave ...
I'll leave you with a little musing - Did you ever think you'd live in a time when it was a differentiator to say "written by a real human being"?
I have been thinking about my process and the fact I sometimes channel when I write (whether as a ghostwriter or in co-creation with Source). I wonder, will the creators of AI (machine learning) ever be able to "meaningfully" replicate the "connection" and the magic that humans experience when they either "co-create" - or encounter any given art form be it music/art/writing/acting etc?
I feel there is something of the Divine in our connections with our fellow human "Beings". There is something of the Divine in all creative endeavours, something intangible that ignites the spark of Love, Joy or Healing, Connection and Transformation ... I sense, if we are truly awake, we will "feel" the difference between AI generated and Divine Inspired ...
Hmmm .... I probably sound quite anti-AI - I believe there is a place for machine learning - in the medical industry (for example), it is being put to incredible, life-saving use. There is fun to be had with it too ... But I do feel conflicted about those in industries that purport to be all about "people" and "authentic connection" using AI as a business model ...to promote their face, their image and perhaps even to do their work (which atm means AI is stealing bits and pieces of other people's work - be in no doubt about that).
We live in interesting times and it's a time to be "awake" and "aware" for sure.
Either way, I will always be old school when it come to the "creation" of my Craft - but it is an interesting Rabbit Hole to go down isn't it? It feels like that age old battle between using our gifts for the light - or the dark. Well - If all that doesn't get your creative juices going - I don't know what will 😆.
Have a fabulous weekend beautiful souls. Keep your spark ignited, protected and shining bright. Keep your Curiosity alive ✨🥰
