Martha Gouws

Welcome to my weekly Author Spotlight. I’ve asked a bunch of my author friends to answer a set of interview questions, and to share their latest work. Today: Martha Gouws – “Where fantasy begins with a costume, a spell, and a drop of spit.” Since childhood, I’ve had one foot in the world of fantasy. I dressed in costumes no one could recognize me in, danced with scarves late into the night, and climbed hills in search of strange fruit that might just be magical. On quiet Sundays, while my parents napped, I sat beneath the mulberry tree and tried … Read more

Point of View: Why Keep Writing When AI Can Do It Faster (If Not Better)?

by
Writer's Block - Pixabay

I keep my finger on the pulse of Generative AI, that misdescribed beast that’s really not artificial intelligence at all. One of my favorite descriptions likens it to a really advanced version of the predictive text thing that many of us use when typing out text messages. These systems have been trained on massive amounts of our own data, mostly without our permission or compensation, and are simply huge predictive machines that come up with the most likely response to any question we pose to them (when they don’t just “hallucinate” a false answer to meet the query). None of … Read more

Today I’m going to share something a little different, a heartwarming community tale. They are resealing our neighborhood asphalt this month, putting a new surface coat on it throughout this development. Last week, they did the other half of the development, and today they are starting on our side. Our community has an active Facebook group, and folks often share all kinds of happenings there, both good and bad. Last week the group was full of disbelieving posts. People who should’ve known better, including some of our neighbors, drove across the newly surfaced streets before they were fully dry, sometimes … Read more
