I hope that every child gains the confidence to fail. To make a valiant effort even if they don’t prevail. To roll with #unexpected blows and hold their heads up high. Success in chasing dreams is hard, but still it’s worth the try. #vss365 bookshop.org/p/books/catc...

A.I. consumes books and it spits them out #dead, so I don't use A.I. and I write books instead. #vss365 #booksky bookshop.org/p/books/the-... bookshop.org/p/books/catc...

The #sound of pages turning at a steady, measured speed is the sound minds make when learning, so please give kids books to read. #vss365 #booksky bookshop.org/p/books/the-... bookshop.org/p/books/catc...

I don't like reading poems or prose when they use words that A.I. chose. They really should post warning signs when writing wasn't done by minds so we could prune and #purify our pages from undue A.I. #vss365 www.dcswanson.com

A.I. will never have a catch or tell lame jokes and laugh too hard or put on socks that don't quite match or #putter daily in the yard. A.I. won't sweat the way you're raised or cheer the victories you've had so don't forget, on certain days, to drop A.I. and thank your dad. #vss365 #fathersday

I hear them say A.I.'s the way to make our future bright. But I still choose to only use my own words when I write. I hope that plots untouched by bots will always have a place. A #gamble, sure, to keep words pure, but that's what I embrace. #vss365 www.dcswanson.com

An open book can be a shield to hide your mind behind, concealed from angry screens and slop and worse- in books, our better thoughts #immerse. #vss365 www.dcswanson.com

Writing may not pay the rent. But those who write with good #intent Do not regret the time they spent. #vss365 www.dcswanson.com

To coalesce, a book encages unkempt words on #misfit pages. #vss365 www.dcswanson.com

I’m a fan of angels when a bell helps get them wings. I’m a fan of chronicles when they have #lion kings. I’m a fan of wizards found in Hogwarts or in Oz. Stories I loved years ago can still win my applause. #vss365 www.dcswanson.com

If you sweat them, words can shake you. If you let them, words can break you. If you fight them, words can #jade you. If you write them, words can aid you. #vss365

Thanks @bookspotlight.bsky.social - very kind of you to help other writers out. I wrote a holiday story about kids who discover a shop where they can create stories that come to life. www.amazon.com/Book-Cook-D-...
