Abstract
An essay whose sole purpose is to be the output, criticism, and reflection surrounding matters of art and writing in the 21st century. It is thoroughly blunt and at times can be quite crass, but perhaps there is meaning and value to be found in these reflections, which come from a creative spirit, in a time when creativity is meant as nothing more than a means to profit. Thus, here are the Reflections of a 21st-Century Writer, where ruminations on technology such as AI are discussed, creativity, originality, and much more.
