About the Author
My writing is ALL MY OWN. 💯 I never have (and I never will) utilize AI-powered writing tools (this means no AI suggestions and no AI text completion). It might sound mean, but I believe that if you require artificial intelligence to replace your own intelligence 🧠 and complete your sentences for you, then it's inauthentic: You are not a writer, and your work is not your own. I write 📝 mostly creative nonfiction and memoir, but I also write about politics and poetry. This is most of what I wrote and does not include what I post on my socials.
