Yep, but if you want to write well, sometimes you have to hash sh*t out.

well, I have put a general example of what I often use AI for. in the end, I probably throw away 90% of it's suggestions, but that ten percent helps me clarify where I am going with a book. Do not read if you are checking out my book, because it may contain spoilers. BTW- I don't let ai write...

Well, I know that AI has shot down the careers of more than a few third rate artists on deviantart, so I guess I can understand their hate. After all, hostlers had a lot of justified hate for henry ford, too. But I figure new job opportunities open up as technology closes them. Also, you have to...

(shrug) ai isn't ai either, but that's a technicality. I just use 'expert systems' to do the irritating and time-consuming stuff I hate. To be honest, five million text-to-speech programs exist, and then having AI run down your work text to make sure it sheds any coughing fits, accidental...

Writers who don't love reading tend to write crappy "I was reborn as such and such character from this TV show and banged everyone in the series" True. Writers are more introverted- Partially true. Writing requires lots of time free of distractions, but true introverts make bad writers. Most of...

there are some tags that seem to shortstop recommendations. That's why I recommend writers put as few tags as possible rather than jamming all 25 of them. The more tags you have that don't match another novel's tags, the less likely your novel will be recommended when someone reads the the other...

I write. I am very proud of my writing, but sometimes I use a bit of software assistance. I am trying to figure out when people expect me to put a tobacco-style AI warning on my work? Frankly I think it's baloney, since true AI written works suck creatively, but I do use assistance for certain...

It looks better than scifi covers from the 60's at least.

yup, ai art. Not a judgement, I use AI art regularly, cause I ain't paying a teenaged nerd two hundred bucks for two hours of work. I have worked in my field for forty years, and I don't make that with forty years of training and hard work. Artists used to starve, for good reason. Paying them...

When I send them to Kindle unlimited. Until then, I have like two fans, and don't make rent.

catgirls. nuff said.

There are literally a hundred reasons to do that to enhance a story. Just off the top of my head: 1. use it as an excuse to bring the reader closer to the character's mindset. (breakfast helps me build up my energy, especially when I drink Power-drink.) 2. Use it to flesh out the world (do...

Meh, fantasy is like really good peanut butter sandwiches. It's familiar, comfortable, and makes you feel better than some experimental stuff. I despise authors who break the mold in order to make it 'edgy', like GRRM, because it isn't original, it is simply depressing and trite. It's like...

There's no such thing as originality in fantasy. That's the point of the genre. Authors that try create boring, trite garbage and call it 'original'.

It really depends on your audience. I find that the American West Coast, after dinner, or right after school, is when I get the most views, but in the mornings is when I get actual feedback. Of course, no one ever bothers rating books anymore, so I am personally getting disillusioned with he...

Yes and no. On the one hand, an outline, at least an idea of where I am going, helps enormously... not just in making sure that the book gets from point a to point b inside the 4-500 pages of a volume. but hardcore scripting? I find that actually ruins the creative flow of a volume. basically...

Are they dead? Unless they are protected by trademark, they are a target. Whining readers? Well, you are going to get those no matter what you do. Just avoid literal trademark or copyright infringement. Remember, there is no such thing as bad press for an artist's work... not when people will...
