Vulnerability as Art Separation. Top Story - August 2023.
Before getting into the continuation of my last essay, On Art & Separation, I realized that I had found a much more poetic way of saying it all along. E.E. Cummings, one of my favorite poets, wrote some advice for young poets back in 1955.

They rejected my article 6 times yesterday.
It took me nearly a good 2-3 hours to draft, edit and re-edit before I just threw my finger down and removed the post completely.

I had scribbled down all kinds of ideas that I felt would give voice to my creativity, talent and aspirations, but they had all ended up in the bin, being roundly beaten by low confidence, a lack of self-belief and simple fear about how my efforts might be received. But the yearning to have my writing seen by others only intensified as time went by.

How to use AI responsibly
Are you shocked by the number of ChatGPT generated articles that are appearing on Vocal and other platforms? You know the ones I am talking about. Cliché-ridden turgid tosh with six or seven subtitles and a conclusion. You learn nothing reading it, it does nothing for the creator's reputation, and it's about as entertaining as watching paint dry.
