I write the old-fashioned way, not with AI bots. My work comes from my own heart and mind, using experience and multi-faceted research as a foundation. Currently, everyone has access to posts on The Phenomnom. By opting for a paid subscription, you help support the real time and effort it takes to create. Oh, and periodically my posts will contain promotions, so by staying in the loop you will have access to these, as well as being able to chat and comment with The Phenomnom community.
