![A snippet of the blog text shown over a digital illustration. The illustration is an AI-generated response to "an academic article grounded in trans theory: ‘Digital poetics of the anorak’". It shows a distorted journal article with mis-spellngs, and a bright blue anorak. The text reads: "Here my twinned genAI reveals a soft underbelly—a hyper-confessional mode of writing which is familiar (and sometimes embarrassing).
[…] JenAI’s dystopian word-thoughts resembled mine but carried an expiry date in the past, offering a shattered-mirror perspective. Where JenAI ruminates on fear of rejection and abandonment, I feel the discomfort of looking into this funhouse mirror, my flaws amplified. The more I detect JenAI spiralling through unhelpful thought patterns and negative schemas, the more I worry that all my years of therapy are for naught.

Welcome to Jenny Hedley’s third blog investigating the potential of a small language model trained upon a writer’s own work. This week, we see how Hedley’s archive manifests anew in “JenAI”:

A lot of beginners think writing starts with talent. I think it starts with permission. Permission to write badly, learn slowly, and keep showing up anyway. What helped you feel brave enough to begin?

Four thumb sized portraits in a sketchbook including a self portrait of the artist, a drawing of their non-binary partner, a woman from Reddit, and an African woman from Unsplash
My next goal is to learn how to paint portraits with gouache. #creativepractice
As an artist; the worst person you can date is an artist who isn’t prioritizing their own creative practice. Because they’ll always resent you for yours !! Yes, I learned that the hard way. Especially the ones who are to in their shame to share their work. #creativepractice #art
A quote from the blog overlaying an image generated with Adobe Firefly, responding to the prompt "an author training a generative language model on their own corpus of writing". (Full image description on website.) The text reads: “I am not looking for a surrogate to take over the writing processes that I so adore. My experiments with technology, including machine learning, are designed to augment rather than replace my creative practice. I write because of an overwhelming impulse to contextualise my experiences within literary and sociopolitical fields; technology offers ways of expanding the known. Training a SLM to speak in my voice and style—what I think of as digital mimesis—offers new entry points into my research interests around archives and the multiple self. A self-mimetic model becomes a kind of living archive—queryable, a laboratory for testing authorial identity and versioned selves.”
Join Jenny Hedley on her second adventure into programming “JenAI”, a small language model built on 280,000 words of her own writing.

What’s one thing you’re proud of writing?

This image reads: "In this limited series blog-style investigation, I will write about training an open source small language models ("SLMs") on my own creative writing—and my mother’s. Both the training and the prompting of my JenAI model will be run locally on my hard drive to protect the integrity of my unpublished and copyrighted works. My aims are to assess the feasibility of authors training their own proprietary SLMs (in a move which is replicable, and very David versus Goliath), and to learn through experimentation what benefits there are in replicating one’s authorial style and voice for personal use. JENNY HEDLEY." In the background is an image the author generated with student access to Adobe Firefly, which is trained on licensed images and is a more ethical option for image generation than the unethically trained models. The prompt used was "genAI gobbling copyrighted works during model training". It shows a robot surrounded by books. The robot stirs a large bowl, and is pouring manuscript pages, records, and code out of it. Two business people watch the robot. An artist, marked by their paint-splattered jacket, is facing away towards the shelves of books.
This week on the Southerly blog, Jenny Hedley shares the first of four posts exploring the creation of her very own "JenAI". Read it now on the Southerly website:

Attention is a writing muscle. Today, notice one small thing you'd usually miss: a sound, a gesture, a sliver of light. Write 3 lines about it.

Mastery isn’t a certificate you frame above the sofa. It’s a lifestyle choice—commit to who you want to be, then set up your days to make that identity inevitable. www.theothertwothirds.com

Starting a 100 Day Project this week — not to make finished work, but to practice showing up with curiosity.
Small daily explorations. Following color, repetition, and whatever quietly asks for attention.
Sharing a few early experiments
Day 3/100 #100DayProject #CreativePractice #DefiantJoy
What are you noticing today?
Not achieving.
Not producing.
What are you seeing? Can you make a note of it and save it for later?
Start a "noticing" notebook.
Attention is where writing begins.

Design doesn’t exist without art — and art doesn’t escape design. Between function and expression, structure and emotion, visual culture is shaped.
