Lots more writing, lots less planning. I have a document of ideas that I keep separate. I've completely rewritten every chapter at least once and it was a good thing to do.

Abby Emmons on YouTube recommends writing 100 words every day. Most often it turns into 1000 words and a nice part of a chapter.

I find myself in a bit of a conundrum.

Years ago I was keen on creative writing, was even accepted into a university program for professional writing.

Life happens, and fast forward about two decades; here I am building out a story world for my characters to live in.

By rights, my creative nature is messy and disorganized.

Enter AI.

It's been helping me stay focused and organized. I have established an encyclopedia for the story and each day, I contribute a bit more.

AI also helps me plug up the plot holes.

The conundrum lays with the use and pushback against AI.

I don't see any problems unless AI is creating the final output

Yeah. Although, what are people, but extreme in their righteousness and opinions?

Yeah man just do your thing 🤙 IMHO just don't let planning be the main character when you could be writing.

Oh I do write. Snippets and random prose. All can be used later, if it fits.
