I like what you are doing tremendously. What could be improved is tossing AI for your images - you can pull any images you need off of Google that are already there, and I almost didn't get to read your story, such is my [and most of the "more srs" writers here on Substack] distaste for .
Trigger warnings are dead. You'll notice no one really puts personal pronouns on their profiles anymore, either. They were both born out of the same era, and both superfluous when it comes to serious writing. Gun violence is another nouveau-term that just repeats itself. Violence is violence. Most of the gun violence that really stands out [such as it is when children are massacred at schools] are just lunatics who no one bothered to put down [sometimes even when having been sworn to do so, as it was in Uvalde]. I'm not Mr. NRA or anything, but this is deck chairs on the titanic when the entire kit and caboodle is looking to upend itself.
I am a writer. All of the words belong to me. No one gets to tell me what I can do with them. That is part of what makes this platform incredible. It has single-handledly reversed the cancellation of men and women's lives for their written opinions.
It is a good policy to have. You are a good writer. I am sure you are a fine copyeditor. This sort of thing will only help increase your scope of work and range of clientel.
Thank you Ichristopher ๐ I very much appreciate you reading and commenting!
I know my audience, and feel the warning is needed. The AI images are fun, and I'm no visual artist. And frankly, I'm not to worried about how everyone else is doing it. Happy Writing!๐ค ๐ค
