I must say as society grows, to become a nowadays writer who can make a living. Reading and writing are not enough anymore.
We have to step out of our comfort zone and try to know and understand what is available now for us to create something hidden in our potential.
I once took an online legendary writing class, and when I asked about AI and ChatGPT, the senior writer replied, "It's a dangerous thing that we shouldn't get close to."
Like it's a monster that would suck dried our thoughts, ideas, and inspirations.
