by Musings w/Mookie - reflections on life
I’m a poet and the author of four books, exploring thoughts through both poetry and prose.

<p>The thing with be a writer is that you have to be clever. Life itself is about being clever and at times it is slow. In writing you have to keep the clever going either by explaining a thing in long flow where you don’t get lost in using so many words. </p><p>I learned in my last job not to bore the audience. You are here to deliver information and you have to tailor the information to your crowd. </p><p>Some people - civilians - would say I’m doing too much. Rather a retired civilian did say I was doing too much. I was but I was there to work then go home. I have fun at home. At work I had to bite my tongue a lot. So if I was doing a lot work, and providing requested results I was protected from having to be longwinded.</p><p>I cold just be like, “well General so and so want it this way”, then everyone shuts up. I adored efficiency.</p><p>With writing I have to be long winded and efficient in my storytelling. I had to learn to be comfortable telling it all but also skipping the slow parts in the story or what would slow the story.</p><p>I don’t know - that’s all I got. I have been drinking and I’m starting to feel it in my toes. </p><p></p><p>Mookie💜</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

<p>Today but not today because by the time you read this, today would not be today. I hope to persuade you that the previous sentence is correct. Or convince you that I have not used AI.</p><p>I haven’t used AI, at least not to write this.</p><p>I use AI is as a tool and to convince myself that I am great (I like being told that I’m good at writing and not believing it at the same time). Before I used AI, I was already convinced. Also some may say “great” is reaching for the stars - and it is. The earth's core is obviously too hot and too close to go that way.</p><p>Squirrel…</p><p>I use AI as a tool and not as helping hand for my writing. If I can’t find a word then I use it. Otherwise I would the definition of a word as usual. If I want to buy a face mask but need to if I'll have a reaction. I use it…</p><p>Now for cooking… I could cheat a whole cookbook. I would call it A.I.-cipes - LOL. Of course it doesn’t cook it or come up with the dishes. The measurements though. It has help me cut down on redundancy and over cooking - still doesn’t layer the seasoning like I want. But helping me develop a batter with fine ground corn and rice flours has been a game changer. </p><p>Taking a four serving recipe down to two or up to six, making a recipe concise, or using convection verses non-convection for baking has been some of the few ways I have found A. I. to be really advantageous.</p><p>We won’t get rid of A.I. but it does need limited access. Well, anyway, I turned a snickerdoodle recipe into a Blondie-Doodle using a cookie package. </p><p>Bloodie-Doodle</p><p></p><p></p><p>Mookie💜</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

<p>It’s something about being responsible and being a chaotic that has been my internal motto. Like sneaking out the house, but sneaking out with someone who’s been there before. Like kissing boys without guidance, but not all of them. Playing the odds with my grades in HS - I stopped seeing the future for a bit. Going to a frat party, drinking and then waking up to go run it off. </p><p>I love a good time. </p><p>Then there is this ability for me to extremely commit to a task or jump right to work sometimes cause me to be in awe. I believe if you work hard, you play just as hard if not harder. That if you are checking off all of the boxes, then you can afford the release. </p><p>I love a vacation with very few plans. Where you can wander and let the next person you bump into give you a direction to go or a place to visit. Where you can float and while enjoying the sun. Forgetting about responsiblities</p><p>Right now I am missing that. I need and desire a getaway at but that the moment I am locked in.</p><p></p><p>Mookie💜</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
