Well said! The best pieces to read are the ones the writer enjoyed writing.

that is something to remember - if one is not working - put it aside, sometimes they need more time underground before popping up and blooming

Thank you for your writing, Lucy. I can tell you are “intoxicated by words, language, etymology, the craft and the transformative power of writing.” You are virtuoso in language. I am not so good in poetical English. Nevertheless, I understand your comparison. You wanted to say that due to AI we are deprived of the most enjoyable and exciting parts of writing and it is not faultless, fast, and easy made article, but it is creativeness and process of constructing sentences, selecting wording and arranging it to match our thoughts.

thank you so much - you are always so gernerous with your comments. It is a quandry I face with AI - as it is in and of itself not a problem, I just worry about as all being dumbed down. In all things it is the humanity, the individuality, and to be honest, putting the effort in, that makes life exciting, not easier and convenient.

you take care my lovely
