AI Is Excluded

Raw Thoughts
February 10, 2025
AI is excluded from the bit I wrote about the "preserved spirit" of an artist's voice. I'm referring to authentic music, not AI-generated stuff. Original CDs are best because no one can tamper with them in any way. I still use streaming sites for now, though. I know AI tools exist, and they can t...

Sunny Saturday & Figuring it out as I go!

Elizabeth Barstone - Novelist
January 25, 2025
I still have a ways to go in figuring out stuff. Yesterday I learned that I actually have one subscriber to my blog on my website. (I saw this accidentally and not sure how to ever get back to that part of my website to see that again lol). Today I learned that EVERY time…

Let’s Try Again

somekindaway
December 29, 2024
Many years ago, when open diary was first a thing, and a free thing, I had an account under the name Wutzerface. So many years later, after so many changes, including two deaths of people I most certainly wrote about in those earlier years (one of which is a sibling), I so wish I could…

December 14, 2024
We have to have a book published before Tuesday. Did I mention I hate deadlines?? My 2 week vacation starts on Friday, and so many things have to get wrapped up before then. What do I have planned for my 2 week vacation?? Building my new business! It will be an amazing business to help…

December 7, 2024
So, I wrote a bunch of kids songs, some of which were based on my kids' picture books that are currently in production. One of my favorite ones is A Panda Bear Would Never Do that ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWCRaMph9uM ) Another of my favorite ones is A Horse Inside His Head ( https://www....

Almost finished my novel! Woohoo!

Elizabeth Barstone - Novelist
November 19, 2024
I've been writing nonstop and I'm at 45,655 words! My goal was 50K words, but once I reach that point, I don't care how much it goes over that word count, if any at all. I didn't write at all on Sunday, but otherwise, I've been waking up thinking about my characters and where I…

Frozen

JASLENE34
November 18, 2024
Met a really nice lady on one of the depression and anxiety groups on Facebook. It was interesting because everything I want to accomplish; she has done and she's only few years older than me. She published a book and has a YouTube channel. She's a go getter and it got me thinking what exactly&he...

Too Excited to write lol

Elizabeth Barstone - Novelist
November 18, 2024
I've gotten so much momentum going with my novel (think: a fun, feel-good escape—think The Golden Girls meets The Bucket List with a side of laugh-out-loud absurdity.) that I'm currently too excited to write this morning, lol. Sometimes this happens. I've only had this experience two other times,...

So Much Writing in on my novel!

Elizabeth Barstone - Novelist
November 17, 2024
I am so excited about my book! I've gotten over 24,000 words written on it in the past three days, writing nearly nonstop. The only other things I've been doing is eating and sleeping, and barely either. I eat at my laptop because I'm afraid if I stop writing I'll lose the ideas in my…

Finally Got Some Writing in!

Elizabeth Barstone - Novelist
November 14, 2024
Well . . . I wrote 6,885 words today, but not on the last novel I was writing (I will have to finish that at a later date) but on a brand new novel that I've been thinking about for a few years aimed at a middle-age audience. It is going to be hilarious! I've been…
