I've been trying to spend ten minutes a day articulating my abstract thoughts and publishing them privately. I'm really trying to avoid the domination of AI! I would really like to start publishing my articles/entries publicly...

What’s stopping you from writing shitty prose on substack??? I don’t fancy myself a writer but I would love to be able to better articulate my points and I think writing consistently helps,,,,,plus It’s a fun little thing to do?

Write every day. So no to other things in order to write.
Share what you write on here and everywhere else. Publish on a blog or a Substack, share links to your work. Don't heed the feedback all that much—good or bad. You know what's in you. Work the muscle of putting it in front of people.
Go to a public library and volunteer to start a writing workshop for an underserved group, like people facing homelessness. Write with them when they write.

to speak is human
one of the most defiant ways that we can assert our power—our not-duplicable, non-algorithmic, dangerous, and history-altering power—is to write.
yes you can feed your prompts into a generative AI chatGPT butthole and it will produce a precise and perfect and appropriate piece of text — but that isn't you!
it isn't you to have apple intelligence or google fartelligence rewrite your emails or text messages or essays or love letters
It is you to drag your pen across paper, or cursor blinking on screen—to discover, question, argue alone, to know yourself.
It is you to write what you shouldn't write—what you aren't allowed to say. To consider the impossible, the illegal or immoral, to wrestle with those things that others would censor or suppress.
It is you to yearn, love, grieve through writing: to gift yourself, and maybe others too, that record of your pain and beauty and dynamism.
