Just created a custom GPT today. In about an hour, I used it to generate rough drafts of Chapter 1, Chapter 11, Chapter 19, Chapter 26, the epilogue—and a one-page synopsis. Is it polished? Not even close. But that’s the point: I’m using AI for speed and structure, then doing what I do best—editing, shaping voice, tightening scenes, and making it human. Now it’s time to drain a few red pens and take this book from “AI attempt” to “human-polished.” If you’ve built a GPT for a creative project, I’d love to hear: What part do you let AI handle—and what part is strictly you?!

Fellow authors, quick one 👋 If you could sit down with another writer for 10 minutes right now, what would you want to talk about most? craft consistency publishing marketing or something else entirely? I’m genuinely interested in learning from others here and exchanging ideas. I’ll reply to every comment and keep the conversation going. 👇 Drop your answer below, let’s connect

Tony says ‘Proximity is power.’ Let’s find out who’s in proximity... Tell us all where you’re from… without actually telling us where you’re from 🤣

Hey friends. I've been playing around with this and thought I would share this prompt for you to try out. It could probably work for more than just overwhelmed moms; that was just how I was framing things. Disclaimer: I am brand new to prompt creation on this level, so no guarantees. The "Overwhelmed Mom" Life Audit Prompt Copy and paste the text below into an AI assistant (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) to get a personalized Life Operating System. Fill in the [bracketed] information with your specific details. PROMPT STARTS HERE I need you to act as my expert Productivity Guru and Life Coach. I am an overwhelmed mom trying to balance running a household, [working/other major responsibility], and maintaining my own well-being without burning out. I need a realistic, sustainable Life Operating System. Not just a rigid schedule that breaks the first time a kid gets sick, but a flexible routine that helps me focus on what matters, tames the chaos, and ensures I don't lose myself in the process. Use principles from "Atomic Habits" (habit stacking), "Getting Things Done" (brain dumping/capturing), and "The 7 Habits" (prioritizing big rocks first). Here are my details. Please analyze them, ask me clarifying questions to find my blind spots, and then help me build a routine I can actually stick to. 1. My "Big Rocks" (Non-Negotiables) These are the things that MUST happen for me to feel like a human and for my family to be okay. - [e.g., Sleep 7 hours, Daily Prayer/Meditation, Feeding the kids, School drop-off at 8 AM] - ... 2. My Daily Load Things I try to do every single day. - Self-Care: [e.g., Shower, get dressed, 30 min exercise] - Household: [e.g., Dishes, one load of laundry, tidy living room before bed] - Relational: [e.g., Read to toddler, 15 mins connecting with husband] - Work/Other: [e.g., Check emails for 20 mins] 3. My Weekly Rhythms Things that happen once or a few times a week. - Work Hours: [e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri from 9am-2pm] - Fixed Events: [e.g., Church on Sunday 10am, Soccer practice Tue/Thu 4pm] - Chores to Distribute: [e.g., Groceries, deep cleaning bathrooms, mowing lawn, paying bills]
