This week, I deviated a bit from my theme of finding your reader and message to talk about a topic that affects us as writers in a broad way—the use of AI in our writing.In this episode, I explain my three questions that I ask myself when considering the use of AI in my writing:* Is my use of AI God-honoring?* Is my use of AI causing my God-given creativity or other skills to atrophy from lack of use?* Am I valuing expediency over the longer writing process in a way that short-changes the end result and my own participation in that process?I also break them down and share some of the ways that I have decided not to use AI, some of the ways I currently do, and where I feel the area is a little grey.I don’t claim to be an authority on this topic or have all the answers, but this episode gives you a peek into my own thought process as I consider different ways to use or not use this new technology.(PS - I did not use AI to write these show notes!)Resources mentioned:Episode 105Sign up for Pen Points, my weekly email for Christian writersThe Purposeful Pen is a weekly podcast for Christian writers designed to help you build a writing life with eternal impact.
