Let’s keep creative human minds in creative space. Design and development and organizational assistance is one thing; writing a whole book, novel or series from conception to market, audience is not a writer make. We can’t begin down this descending slope or intellectual thievery.

As someone who is disabled, this is absolutely spot on.

Hugs. Can't send money because I just lost my 3rd job and now need to replace it... but just know you're not alone. 💕
