La Bene Vita

by Brandiwyn🎶 v.2026

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #1411600

The Good Life.

I am a professional musician, teacher

, (former) worship leader

, small business owner

, songwriter

, aspiring author

and freelance nonfiction writer

with a chemical engineering degree

.

But that's just my resume. My eclectic profile of vocations is only one of the ways in which I am uniquely me.

Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the business I run, I am always a work in progress.

That was really awesome! I should steal copy that idea for my own writing habits.

Don't forget to carve out time from your schedule. Can't believe I'm saying this, but it does help to know you're going to be busy from, like, 10:30 to 11. Or whatever.

Goal, resolution, commitment... language is fun.

I don't do resolutions. But the concept of Dry January is offensive to me, so I'm committed to having at least one drink a day this month.

So far, so *hic* good.

In response to "Can I Copyright My Work If I Use AI?"

Agree with Jeff.

Will add that there are authors who are copyrighted? because they have published novels, at least on Amazon if not other places, where chunks or more have been written with AI.

I'm sure as some of those lawsuits are decided we will learn more about this whole thing.

In response to "Can I Copyright My Work If I Use AI?"

Generally speaking, using AI for research purposes is not considered copyright infringement. Using AI output in the creative work itself can be considered infringement, depending on the AI model used and the data it was trained on. Pretty much every major AI model is currently defending against multiple active, ongoing lawsuits over copyright infringement for training their model on other people's intellectual property without permission.

In your specific case (and with the caveat that this is not legal advice), I personally think it's relatively low risk because common phrasing is generally not copyrightable. In order for someone to have a legitimate claim of copyright infringement, they first have to demonstrate that they own the material in question... and I don't know that anyone can claim to own generic, nonspecific, widely-used slang or idioms.
