I read and absorbed your very sincere and astute piece titled: The Writers Cafe. (past and present)
I agree. Things are much better here now, than they once were.
Not all which sparks my muse to write is everyone's cup of tea, and for good reason ...
Every once in a while some good person here will tea me off. I block'em for a day or so, so as to not permanently close the doorway of friendship over something which I may have simply taken all the wrong way.
I do write some very provocative material, and no offense is ever meant personally towards anyone. It is simply a matter of freedom of expression, a freedom that, so far, has not yet been taken away from us in writing that which our hearts and minds do deem as important and in need of saying ...
I got one of those AI generated reviews. I took it down, blocked the writer and continued on my merry way. If I wanted to be dissected by a computer I'd leave my brain to science. (laughing)
