You have the right as a human being to make art. That includes art that is not perfect. That includes art that is not good.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

An interesting warning for writers: There have been ads, making their rounds on social media, advertising writing contests with large prizes. Beware-- some of these contests are tricks to get you to submit files that will then be used to train AI models (LLMs). READ THE FINE PRINT!
