TECHNOLOGY OF WRITING HUB

AI, software, and the technology writers actually need

Richard uses AI tools every day. He also knows exactly where they fail. After 33 years in enterprise IT (20 of them as Director of Computer Operations at Trader Joe’s) and a current writing practice that produces 2,000 to 12,000 words daily, these articles cover the technology side of writing from someone who works at the intersection of both fields. AI assistants, writing software, digital publishing, security, and the emerging technologies reshaping how books get written.

The articles below are honest assessments. Some of these tools are genuinely useful. Some are overhyped. A few are actively harmful to writers who don’t understand their limitations.

AI and writing technology

AI is the most significant shift in writing technology since word processors. These articles cover what works, what doesn’t, what to watch out for, and the copyright implications every writer needs to understand. Richard uses AI daily in his own work, and he also knows exactly where it falls apart. For the complete, dedicated collection, see the AI & Writing Hub.

Digital writing tools and platforms

The tools you use shape how you write. These articles cover grammar checkers, publishing platforms, workspace setup, WordPress, security, and the practical side of running a writing business on digital infrastructure.

Internet history and digital culture

The internet shaped how we write and read. These articles look at where digital culture came from, what it got right, what it got wrong, and what writers can learn from platforms that no longer exist.

Technical and professional writing

Technical and professional writing demands precision and clarity, often about complex subjects for readers who aren’t specialists. These articles cover documentation skills, the tools modern technical writers actually use, and how to produce user manuals, policy documents, and instructional content that gets read instead of ignored.
