AI Writing:
Technology is constantly advancing-even in writing! This doesn’t mean that AI will do everything you want it to, but you can definitely save time when doing your writing by using this program. Remember it isn’t perfect which is why today I am covering the baselines of what to expect when using AI in your writing.
Key Points
● It doesn’t understand funny.
● It doesn’t do name recognition.
● It is totally great at titles, subtitles, and outlines, but when it comes to outlines, you need to ask it for more detail. You need supportive points that bolster each chapter's objective.
● You may have a hard time-saving the prior version as you are working through different versions of your content. At times, edits may go too far, and, in that case, you will need to re-paste the version that you like.
● It’s not great at using details
● It’s fabulous as defining and explained quite well the foundations of algebra and calculus.
● When you ask it to edit existing content, it will clean it up as it dehumanizes it. This is very effective for business writers that want to be straightforward and use bullets and teaching to explain methodologies, and so on.
● It will get smarter, but it will take time.
● It refuses to write hateful language - yay! It did write a little bit on supporting LGBTQ+ peeps, which was so heart-warming.
● It even explained the pros and cons of using AI to write a book.

On today's episode of WEN, we’re meeting the characters who are just dying to get to know you in your own book, whether fiction or non-fiction. This is a storytelling element you don’t want to skip!
Why character development is important. People relate to people. We want to make it enjoyable for the reader and easier for them to make sure they can use their emotions so they can connect.
Connecting to someone emotionally means you need to define their character.
1. What are the nuts and bolts? Who are they? Why are they acting the way they do?
2. They need to be likable.
3. They need to be believable.
4. They need to be multi-faceted - you have to feel sorry for the villain.
5. Make them human - they are not perfect.

Co-Authorship can be sticky sometimes. It takes the right partner and the perfect amount of communication to be successful when working with someone else. You wouldn’t purchase a house without viewing it- so don’t do that when picking a Co-Author. Look at their credentials and writing styles.
Remember this is a partnership- create improved skill sets from each other's Strengths and Marketing. I also have 5 other bonus tips that you need to keep in mind during this process.

When we decide to write it’s more than a pen hitting paper, or your fingers pressing on a keyboard. It’s an expression of emotion and storytelling. You want people to feel what you’re speaking about and to remember the moral of what you are portraying. You are here to entertain, share your pain, provide hope and inspiration. That’s what it means to become an author.
Writing isn’t easy, but it’s important to keep working diligently at your craft.
Over time, you will share something that others connect to and in many cases, transform their lives. As a result, you become a better writer, speaker, and a better teacher of the craft.
