I let AI help me with my novel

-

This morning, I asked my AI assistant to rename a character across thirty-one chapters of my novel.

It changed the name across all chapters in about four seconds.

Without AI, that could well have taken me an afternoon.

I use a file management tool called VS Code that connects all my written chapters to AI, and it handles the drudge work that used to eat hours of my week, like checking timeline details, reorganising files, and keeping track of things across hundreds of pages.

This is all the dull stuff that has nothing to do with actual writing but often takes up half the time or more.

And I'm realising something, here guys.

AI is proving itself to be a genuine way for more people to make their creative dreams real, even if they only have a small window each day for their next novel, a piece of music, or whatever they've been putting off for years.

AI makes things more accessible and faster. If managed well, that doesn’t mean you end up creating slop. AI can make your work BETTER. That’s huge.

Many people get uncomfortable when AI comes up anywhere near creative work. I get it.

I was nervous about it for the entire last year. And yes, it will lead to a LOT of AI slop.

But it can also be a force for real good, and I'm seeing it with my own eyes.

I've always wanted to write fiction, and I just never found the time or patience.

My AI tools are changing that, and I'm creating quality work faster than I thought possible.

What might AI be opening up for you that may otherwise have been kept hidden away?

Even with AI making creation faster, you still need people who actually want to enjoy your creations when it's done.

Finishing a book and having no audience waiting is like cooking a banquet and eating it alone in your kitchen.

If you want to make the most of AI for your creative dreams, whether that's writing fiction, becoming a footloose entrepreneur, coaching, or making a music album, you'll want an audience built in advance. Ready and eager.

If you need help building that audience from today, regular online writing has been the best way I've found to do this, building over 200,000 readers over the years.

Online Writing Alchemy is the course I made to show you how to save time by writing stuff people actually want to subscribe to.

The course is $197 this week, down from $397.

Later,
