I know at least one or two MyLotters have also written other things. Now I’m wondering how many members have written a book? And was it published – if so how, where and by whom? Did you send the manuscript to a publisher in the...

A Returning Writer

Lainey57 @MaXeN57 (5) 18 Oct 23

I never would've guessed that I'd be returning to myLot after a few years of not writing on this platform. What's even more interesting to me is that the platform still exists in 2023. As I'm rediscovering my love for online...

I have recently heard some feedback on the f-word that got me thinking. I never liked the word. My ex would come home from work as a construction manager spewing it about every other word. It sounded horrible. Here I was a writer...

Hundreds of Books by ChatGPT Flood Amazon

Jo Ann @akalinus (44366) • United States 24 Feb 23

People have been using ChatGPT to write books on Amazon and most likely, other sites also. This upsets me greatly. Real authors struggle to develop their own plots, characters, and ideas. The article I read claims that ChatGPT...

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 6 Jan 23

Or maybe I just forgot (quite possible!) that Edward Lear (1812-1888), famous for his nonsense rhymes and limericks and of course for ‘The Owl and the Pwssy-cat’ (apologies for the MyLot-approved spelling), was also a very...

Hi, everyone. Hope that you're all doing well. The last time I was here I was given an initial cancer diagnosis. It's my third bout. At first they thought it was ovarian & that it might have metastasized. It had. It turned out to...

Question: "How important are pictures in posts?"

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 14 Apr 22

Personally, I am not satisfied if not attaching a photo to each of my posted discussion here. It is just an opinion that it can convey the real idea of the composition. As they said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Pictures...
