"I only use AI to generate ideas." Why? You're carrying around the greatest idea-generator in the history of the world right between your ears. All you have to do is oxygenate it, feed it, and prime it. It's ready to adapt to whatever use you decide is important to you.

I bet there's a ton of journals who'd love to see subs from those of you who didn't make it in! (and/or those who end up getting rejected.) let's create a little thread of cool, good journals open to subs who'd love to see ~290 word single paragraph prose submissions?
