AI vs. Craftsmanship

Hello! Pardon my absence! I have missed showing up online. That said, I have been absent for a very good reason—and that very good reason is the fact that I have doubled my writing and have been logging not 5000 words each week towards V: The Solar Queen, but 10,000. As a writer who both currently works a day job and has multiple creative projects in the works, 10,000 words is a lot to draft each week. Because of this, YouTube has not been a priority this January. I miss vlogging and creating videos, but this has been the right thing for me at this time.

I do plan filming a fun vlog the first week of February, but for now enjoy this ramble on AI vs. craftsmanship (I’m sure you already know what my opinion is!) paired with some footage of me drawing Winter Comes to the Greenlandian Forest, a soundscape I created back in December.

I look forward to talking with you in the upcoming vlog. Until then, be sure take care of yourself and stay cozy!

Sincerely,

MD Luna

Melancholy Winter Writing Vlog: Success vs. Happiness

Happy Yuletide! In this vlog, I reflect on what is more important in life: success or happiness? The answer, of course, seems very obvious when you phrase the question like that. But when you’re actually in the thick of things, making decisions both large and small, it isn’t always clear what the next right choice is.

This video feels a little heavy, but I want to show you all of the moods in which I create: the super inspired, borderline manic moods; the slow, calm, cozy moods; and the melancholy moods too.

Something I am happy about is this: two days ago, V: The Solar Queen reached 100,036 words. I achieved my goal! I hit 100k before Yule! Hooray!

This week, I am tying up the loose ends of other projects (such as this vlog). Then I will take next week off of creating entirely. I do this once per season, to refill the well. I see myself reading, playing video games, and sipping warm drinks.

After my rest, I will return to V: The Solar Queen, hopefully with ample amounts of energy and inspiration!
