I've been thinking on this as well. I'm worried AI programs will soon be capable of producing substantive, qualitatively passable written works and whether this will be the end of creative writing as a profession. I know AI is currently not capable of producing competent creative writing, but technology is advancing so fast that could change soon. That said, I don't currently make any money from my creative writing, so the worst is that will not change and I'll continue to just do it for the love of the work, abandoning any dreams of success. Which I've all but done now, anyways.

I've completed a first chapter of a first draft of a novel. It's a young adult novel I've had in the back of my mind for some time now. I'll keep working on it and I hope I can finish a complete first draft within 3 or 4 months. It will take me a minimum of 1 year to complete this project fully. I hope I can stay committed and work through doubts.
