I write and talk a lot about generative AI. And as freelance writer and editor, I find myself increasingly targeted to 'get on board or get left behind.' So now seems the right time to make my professional stance clear…
The art of procrastination
For years I unsuccessfully fought against procrastination… but lately my attitude has changed. The barrage of pro-AI, outsource-your-brain, work-faster-not-harder, boost-your-productivity, don't-think-just-work content has made me take a step back and think again (geddit?!)
So it's taken me a while to get here, but I’m finally embracing procrastination – to join the dots, to write better words, and for my mental health.
Writing for children
My children turned six recently, and they were given some brilliant books for their birthday.
I'm so excited to see them developing a love for books and reading on their own. I remember that joy so well - the worlds they get to disappear into, the fantastical things they'll learn, and, right now, their pleased little giggle every time they recognise a new word. Hearing them read stories aloud makes my heart sing. It's honestly thrilling to witness, and is renewing my own love for reading, and appreciation for the craft of writing.
