Writing the third in this gothic trilogy now. Spurred on by reviews of the first. It's quite a process as my memory is not what it was. Continuity errors are a very unique kind of writer's horror!

Warm thanks to all who have just started following me here after I announced I was leaving Fbook over the big theft of authors' works.
I am wondering about AI versus human creativity. Is it the case that what emerges from inside of us is limited to whatever we have absorbed in our lifetime?
