Joyce, I restacked this nice piece, with the following cautionary comment: Let’s face it, only Luddites are NOT going to be using AI to help their writing. BUT please BEWARE OF the tendency to LOSE some of your creativity expression, because of NOT USING AS MUCH of your OWN creativity muscles. (Like when you started using GPS as a convenient guide for getting places, but started to LOSE some of your own ability to remember exactly what turns you took to drive there, yourself.) Best, Shughy -- :-)

Thanks for this. I edited for most of my professional career and felt I got better near the end. Talking with a writer about the piece or — even better — just talking and listening about writing can be so helpful. Talk before the writing starts. Better than blasting thru the piece and leaving a ton of notes.
