You know what you want to say and how you want to say it.
As a writer, which do you do - trust your instincts, or second-guess yourself?

We have about a 20% chance of snow Saturday night. And the wind chills will be in the single digits?

I was born and raised in Northern Indiana? So you aren't surprised, are you?

Um, I've lived in Florida for nearly 40 years.

Any questions?

I don't share sensitive or identifiable information. I also change names when writing a character based on a real person.
I am currently involved through a publisher in a class action suit against an AI that used illegally obtained ebooks to scrape my stuff. There is nothing you can do because people have allowed AI and their companies to steal whatever they want. Allowing any AI to work for you is allowing all AI to steal from everyone.

Teah, I'm angry about this - deal with it.
S🤦‍♂️ Author Icon - I initially thought 'Everyone' meant this site, then in a moment of boredom, I googled 'writing.com findingfeet' and found it meant public, everywhere. Then I went into 'AI' mode and it was entertaining what AI inferred base on my public portfolio at the time. When the site had it's troubles, I removed almost everything.

I just did it again and found that AI said, "While "findingfeet" is a specific user, the phrase often leads users to a massive sub-community of Interactive Stories centered on foot-related themes:".*Smile* So apparently, since it has little to go on, I have an unnatural fascination with feet??? It apparently has access to my profile and can read the titles and descriptions. Maybe there is a way to restrict that.

AI doesn't understand that the name refers to finding a writing style, getting on my feet in terms of writing.

Best of luck, you have a right to be angry.

Some events are so intricate, we can't tell if the crime has been solved -- or if there even was a crime at all.
Do you enjoy an open-ended mystery where it is impossible to tell if it has been or will ever be truly solved?

I do if the execution supports it.
Yes, I written two.
I prefer having a definite solution. That said, I make an exception to the movie Clue (which like the board game had 3 different possible endings).

I just got back from Vegas yesterday. Took my wife there for her birthday. Stayed for 5 days. Because of the weather it took an extra day to get home.
