Thinking Out Loud

The Vanishing Act 

“What if the machine is actually better at both writing and editing than I am? Not by accident, but genuinely. Better prose. Better structure. Better at catching what doesn’t work. I want to sit with that uncomfortable thought for a moment instead of rushing past it. If that’s true, then what am I doing here? I’m not the writer. I’m not the editor. So what role am I actually playing? Maybe the answer is that I’m becoming something we haven’t quite named yet. A curator of possibility, sure, but that feels too grand for what might actually be happening. Maybe I’m just the one who says yes or no. And maybe that’s enough.”
