Why I still love to write (despite the arrival of chat GPT :/ )
The act of expressing personal thoughts, feelings, general life experiences and observations into written form is a healing release valve that fulfills in itself, without any need of external validation, likes, approval or monetary rewards.
I am convinced however, that when we can get to that level of authenticity in our writing we automatically attract a unique audience of discerning readers that are adept at detecting quality content, artistic value (and possess the gift and skill to differentiate between the work of an imperfect human and chatGPT). Where we as bloggers, writers and journalists can count ourselves lucky, highly privileged and honored in having gained a fraction of their valuable time, attention and intellectual energy.
…..and who knows, maybe it could still ultimately lead to that ‘fame, riches and glory’ as an unexpected, added bonus.
Thank you for reading.
