@vickyweberbooks It wouldn't be easier to stop. Being a writer is a core part of who I am as a person. Even when it gets frustrating. Any time I have tried taking breaks from writing, I can't stay away. It would take ongoing effort to quit.
Friends, readers, fellow bookworms, I canโt believe I have to say this but:
Using em dashes in your book is not an indication of AI.

Spent the first day of the year recharging in Sedona. Got my aura photographed, worked on my book, did some 2026 planning, slept in a comfy bed, and relished the silence. #writerslife#NewYear2026
@Smith_ZadiBook I'm about halfway through revising my manuscript. My biggest win is that I keep showing up everyday, even admist the chaos. #TheHorrorsPersistButSoDoI
My favorite #NewYearsEve tradition is to 'Write in the New Year'. I started with my best friend in my early 20s and has always felt so meaningful. Closing one year and opening another doing what I am passionate about feels right.
Happy New Year everyone! ๐พ๐ฅโจ๏ธ

@AustinWyckes They're absolutely not an AI detector. AI learned to use them by being trained on human writing. Just because the average writer may not use them regularly doesn't mean the rest of us should be penalized. Use them all you want.
