"textContent": "_Sunday, March 22, 2026_\n\nGood morning, The Wonder Fell way.\n\nWelcome back. O/\n\nAnother day, some other rays of light to paint the World right.\n\nSlow words this morning... dreams adjust.\n\nHow'd you sleep?\n\n...\n\nYears ago when the writing wouldn't flow, I'd force it to. Nothing much useful comes from lines made like that.\n\nWord count doesn't count for much if your words don't count for much.\n\nLet's talk about quality.\n\nThere are so many fashions and fads on how to write more, more, more. There's even software designed to write for you. But you can never have anything, or anyone, write something for you.\n\nUsing AI to write for you is copying off someone else's paper during a test.\n\nTelling a bot to write you a story like Mark Twain doesn't produce an article of writing. That finished 'story' is nothing more than proof of winning a video game.\n\nCongratulations you entered a successful prompt!\n\nQuality of writing is found in the quality of experience of how you write.\n\nIt's why writers prefer quiet places to work; our best states of mind are found there.\n\nI've read many writers consider their best writing comes when they think of it like talking on paper.\n\nBut writing and speaking are no more similar than singing a melody or playing it on the piano.\n\nSo many more options are available with 88 keys and a pen or QWERTY board than with just a human voice.\n\nHarmony of the notes and words... timing for another.\n\nBack to quality: what it is and how to get to it consistently.\n\nImagine going to lunch with a good friend you haven't seen in years. You both sit, order food, get comfortable.\n\nThen you each take out your phones, open your Casual Conversations App, type in 'catch-up with an old friend,' sync your phones, and press play.\n\nYour phone speakers chat away while you both drool, stare out windows, and wait for your food....\n\nThe point of friendship is _human_ interaction. Now, if you both commented and laughed on the mock conversation from the app together that would be a positive life-affirming experience.\n\nSoftware can never replicate what it means to be human. There's more than flesh and bones to our flesh and bones.\n\nWhich is why we communicate... to share those qualities that make Scientists roll their empirical eyes: Our hearts and souls.\n\nEvery human being is a living story. Every story is about renewal, growth, and change in the hands of hope.\n\nSo when you write you are communicating a story within a story: This Tale of You.\n\nA writer is a play within a play called Life creating plays.\n\nQuality in writing comes from how well we match the moment of the creation of our words to the state of the moment in our lives.\n\nWhat's going on with your personal story while you write goes into every word typed.\n\nWords are always wholly representative of the moment they are created.\n\nSay _hello_ to a friend, a stranger, a business associate and that same word means something slightly different depending on the relationship.\n\nGet your relationship to writing to best suit your love for the craft. Sit down for romance every time you write. Make love while you make sentences and every word will sound your heart and soul. And perhaps, finally, give Scientists something to measure while they contemplate The Beautiful.\n\nTake care and make a wonderful day.\n\n#### ~ Wynn ~\n\nBrought to you by the emoji of the day: 🐥 __hatched_chick__\n\nArchaic Slab",
