@thejnicholas Personally, yes, I think it's cheating. However, I don't think it matters that much. If someone needs AI to help them write a book, the end product is going to be poor no matter what.

@kwok_xian I’m from GenX. If you didn’t eat what was on the plate, you went to bed hungry. But I’d just sneak food later at night. One time my dad told me I couldn’t leave the table until I ate my spinach, so I put my head down and went to sleep right there. lol, I was stubborn.

Hello, #WritingCommunity , I'm a 48-year-old wildlife biologist who started writing after I fell and hit my head on a rock in 2018. Nothing like a traumatic brain injury to jiggle loose some hidden creativity.

@thejnicholas AI is shockingly flawed at this point, so someone who relies on it to write is going to have a seriously flawed end product. i.e., google the gatorade baptism suggestion. Now look at Plath, Neruda, Thomas, Cummings. AI could never string words together in such an emotional way.

#Readers , when approaching your TBR shelf, it’s best to close your eyes, spin in circles, and then pull out the first book you touch. That way, the other books understand it’s completely random and they don’t feel bad. Which is super important. #WritingCommunity

KidLitPit was my first pitching event on Twitter. I'm not that good at it & only about 300 people saw my pitches. BUT, I'll tell you this: I was expecting zero agent likes & I got one. And that's all it takes to keep my hope alive and my motivation intact. So I'm celebrating. 🥳

@karinbeery When you bounce ideas off of or brainstorm with other writers, they are gifting you with their talent. When you use AI, you are taking the sum of mediocrity. So the real question becomes: which kind of writer do you want to be?
