Only you can improve your writing. Through practice and experience you will improve the more you write. AI can only make you sound like everybody else, as it takes away your unique voice. I would rather my work be perceived as bad. At least I wrote it. #humanauthor03 Mar 2026 12:19 +0000at://did:plc:en2xlucl3gfvdyympsjzdwap/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg5quqd32k2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/andileighwrites.bsky.social/post/3mg36fzy3rk2lI wrote free verse and tanka this morning!
