Stepping Foward

Tuesday, March 11, 2025

Today, I’m off from my part-time job. I will start working on my short story, “Little Miss Merry,” and consider using AI to illustrate it.

Yesterday, I re-read the story after years of not seeing it. I liked it well enough, but my writing style has changed over the years, and now, the story’s flow could use improvements.

I’ve played around with AI’s editing capabilities. On a lengthy document, it’s not helpful enough. I’ll practice more with AI, maybe achieving better results by feeding the story in small sections for editing instead of the entire document at once.

If I can’t get AI to edit adequately, I’ll have to roll up my sleeves and work harder. I trust that my ongoing writing experience has given me gains in self-editing skills over those of my past.

Stepping ahead, completing the story, filling in the blanks, editing, and illustrating will be one thing. Following all that, another biggie will be to learn the ins and outs of self-publishing.

I feel motivated and energized this time to do the necessary work on a good story draft.

Dear Friends: I won’t let “Miss Merry” fade away again. Diana
