    Careful with your research

    I’m not sure about writing specifically, but at the institution where I study, some people use AI summaries to complete their assignments. They also use tools like ChatGPT, not only for APA style corrections but to develop brand new paragraphs. Since we’re supposed to at least have some...

    Careful with your research

    The AI summary is tricky. It exposes you to information that may be misleading, especially when it takes platforms like Reddit as reference, where most content is opinion-based and often not research-quality.

    A story idea I've 'scrapped' twice now is taunting me again...

    I've felt that way when I started writing. What worked for me was that instead of starting on chapter one, I would write a scene that seemed interesting and build the story from there, helping me stay engaged with the project. Then I would come back and fill the beginning. If you are keen on...
