I forgot some of the story content of my old writing, so it’s interesting looking back at the journal entries. And for anyone who doesn’t know, TAKS is Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, which already has a new name. The essay I mentioned was […]
I first started publishing in 2018, and this is something I could never have predicted having to declare. I do not use AI to write my books for me. I’m from a generation when you would write an essay in class with a piece of […]
