I Need to Get out More.

I've been doing lots of sort of writing stuff. I'm reading up on how to write, which is long overdue if you ask me. I'm also writing a few extra bits to go with the collection of Kane stories so that if someone buys the book, they at least get something new.

I'm also still thinking about AI. This is why I need to get out more. I've been pottering around and I watched The Great British Sewing Bee last night, but not only have I not done anything to take a pic of, but I'm still thinking about the whole AI stuff still. I even wrote an article on my blog here, a lot like the one on here on Monday, but comparing AI to the Fair Folk, the Fae, that can't quite be trusted. I even did some AI images for it (or, rather, pressed a button on Canva) which was scarily impressive. 

So I looked for a quote and found this, and made up a Canva image without using AI. It's a quote from John Masefield.



I found this quote when I was looking for a quote about computers, but they depressed me too much. This is my second attempt and the text was blurred on that as well. I didn't use AI, so I've spent over an hour on it instead of just pressing a button, but I think that it's pretty and the quote seemed to hit me unexpectedly. Besides, I've a soft spot for John Masefields Sea Fever and I can hear a little of that voice in the quote. 

At least I got out of the house to pick up bear from his friends. It gives me a reason to get out and about. 

Hugs and good health to all.

  1. That is very pretty and well worth your time and effort.
    It's odd when offspring return home from university. It requires a resetting of everything and just as you're used to it, off they go again.

    1. Thank you.
      It hadn't occurred to me, but yes, it's a very different feel with bear here and not away. It's going to be an unsettling few years, but so worth it for him.

  2. That is a beautiful quote and the artwork framing it is lovely. I now want to embroider some proper flowers and not just to cover up some mending! The poem you linked is lovely, too. I enjoyed reading it.

    1. I'm really glad that you enjoyed the quote and the poem. I feel that good poetry stirs the blood, and Sea Fever does that for me.
      If you do any embroidery, I hope that you will share it as you make beautiful things.
