The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
These are such good links, as always, Elizabeth. I'm glad there are some this time on the challenges authors are facing as we deal with AI and other technology. It's so much easier to use AI or another author's work than it was, just because we have better technology. So we have to not just have our own integrity, but also protect our work. It's not easy.
It’s a tough balance, for sure. We’re always getting tricky things thrown our way in this business!
Always interesting to see the handles and where these articles originated. Colleen Story always puts a lot of good ones out there.
I love her take on things. Always good articles from her site.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for this great list. I will enjoy opening the links!
Thanks for coming by, Gwen!
