Glad you agree! It's a real struggle these days. I love the creative process and I admire people who put real effort into their craft. AI has it's place, but not in the creative process of novel writing. Thank you for sharing.

Exactly what I have been telling my creative writing students. I am glad to see this kind of messaging on more and more literary agents' submission guidelines.

Elizabeth Gilbert’s Latest Epiphanies

Reposted by Erin C. Niumata 📚🖋️

The New Yorker @newyorker.com · Aug 26

Upon hearing that Elizabeth Gilbert has written another memoir, readers may imagine that they’re in for the type of adventure and revelation they found in the author’s blockbuster book, “Eat, Pray, Love.” But her new book is not that.

“Eat, Pray, Love” was a huge hit in part because readers imagined they could be like its author. Her new book, “All the Way to the River,” shows how dubious that notion was.
