Let’s be honest and admit we all need a little (or a lot in my case) help with our writing. Whether it is in the form of line by line editing, or using spellchecker, or if we are needing a new perspective from a critical eye. It’s okay to admit it.

In the past, authors had no spellchecker, no editing, and sometimes no one to help them with a plot. Writers were on another level. There was Hemingway, Frost, Twain, Dickens, and Poe. And before them, the most copied author, Shakespeare. They all have a different writing style, prose, or language used. But they are all famous for having some of the best stories.

Today, we have many writers. In fact, there are so many authors that readers have a hard time keeping up with all the books being published every year.

Authors today have the technology to take their writing to “ready to print” phase with minimal proofreading by editors. With the new technology of AI writing apps some writers will not have to do much. Will this kind of work still be considered authentic? Will it sound plagiarized? Will readers find the voice of the writing to be nonhuman? Or will publishers deny writing using AI?

Some of the more popular AI apps I found in the Google playstore was:

Most of these apps have downloads in the 100 thousands. The more readily and user-friendly they are, the more downloads. What will the next generation of writers be like? Will schools allow it over time? How will any reader know if the words were made up by a human or generated by AI?

Share your opinions about these apps. Will authors fade away? Will writing evolve to a level we have never seen before? Change is not always a bad thing unless we lose our humanity.

Keep writing!😊

What Role Should Libraries Have in an Electronic World? | Nathan Bransford, Author.

I have said this before about libraries.  But I like how Nathan Bransford puts it.  That libraries could be going the way of the dinosaurs.

The only issue I have is that if I don’t want to buy a book but I have to read it then I want to borrow it from the library.  I would hate to lose an institution that provides a big service to those of us who just wants to read a book and give it back.

Only time will tell what will happen to the libraries in the world. What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you support your local library? Do you use a library to check out an author’s books before deciding on buying?

Osteogenesis Imperfecta- Cushioned In Love

Expressive and Emotional word content... poetic justice... my thoughts are perceptive, occasionally subjective but always dimensional. My career lies in psychology and my mind lies in philosophy. To question and ponder is to reflect. I am both reflective and directive. I never walk with caution as our steps need their footprints. I love this journey we call life.
