What are some confessions you have about writing with AI that you're willing to share amongst friends in this safe space? I'll start - I have released several books I've never read. I have more but I'll jump in as this goes on, I don't want to be the only one. 😂

This is the prompt I start with when I am using Claude to edit a chapter. If I am writing WITH claude - I write the chapter then run this prompt: Review and refine this chapter for authenticity, voice, and flow. Work only within this chapter — do not summarize, condense, or alter the plot. Rewrite only where necessary to improve readability, pacing, and natural tone. Editing Focus 1. Flow & Authenticity Remove any phrasing that sounds AI-generated, repetitive, or mechanical. Keep the original tone, pacing, and emotional rhythm intact. Vary sentence structure for a natural reading experience. Strengthen transitions and paragraph flow where needed. 2. Dialogue & Voice Ensure dialogue feels natural and true to each character’s background and personality. Remove stiff or overly formal phrasing. Keep internal thoughts consistent with the POV character’s tone and mindset. 3. Outline & Continuity Confirm the chapter follows its outlined goal, complication, choice, and consequence. Maintain the correct POV character and emotional progression. Ensure relationships, motivations, and tone stay consistent with prior chapters. 4. Pacing & Scene Energy Tighten sections that drag or repeat information. Build tension and emotion through character action and reaction, not summary. End the chapter with forward momentum — emotionally or situationally — that leads naturally into the next one. 5. Genre & Tone Alignment Maintain consistency with the story’s world, tone, and genre. Keep any romantic, suspenseful, or emotional beats aligned with reader expectations. Preserve atmosphere and setting details without over-explaining. Output Goal: Produce a polished version of this chapter that feels natural, emotionally engaging, and true to the author’s intent — improving style and flow while keeping every plot beat and voice consistent with the original story.

Guys - I will ban (and just did ban) any member of this group who DMs people about services. It’s not allowed AT ALL That’s my mini TED-Talk I’m in a mood so I am not putting up with 💩 at all

So I want to get a couple things done: 1) the “premium” codex & outline workflow finished so they can start being loaded on the site - these are the ones with marketing 2) run more tests on the “write from start to finish” workflows 3) take a nap 😉 ok I do that daily anyways 4) Finish Joe’s workflow so he will stop bugging me if he can start making codexes again What are you working on this week?

So as I’m setting everything up (because why plan ahead of time that’s boring!) these are the planned classes: YouTube - from 0 to Monetization (It’s not instant!) Ideogram & Nano Banana Prompting for Book Covers AI Writing 101 (this one will be free once you reach level 2) N8N - this one is up there already 💗 dates and times TBD Novelcrafter (that’s up and set for Jan 8th - yes replays will always be available) Changing Your Codex with Claude (already up!) Using the Codexes and Adapting them for Plot Drive (I have a call set up with them this week to see if this will work well) Any other ones you can think of?
