For the last two and a half years, I’ve been reworking my creative writing process to incorporate AI in a way that doesn’t diminish my voice or humanity while taking advantage of all of the ways that AI can make my writing faster and more efficient. I’ve got it down to a point where my books only take weeks or months to write, instead of months or years, and I’d really like to write a writing book where I can share all of that.

As with the other non-fiction that I’ve done, I’ll probably post it all here on the blog before combining it into a book. But there are a lot of different directions I could take this. Should I write this more for an amateur hobby/weekend writer, or an aspiring professional kind of like I was 15+ years ago? Should I focus more on how to preserve elements of humanity like authorial voice, creative vision, etc, or should I focus more on the AI side like prompt engineering and common AI-isms? Should I go into depth about philosophical and ethical concerns, or ignore that stuff altogether and focus on what I’ve found works for me?

What I need is to come up with a rough chapter outline. Once I’ve got that, I can turn this into a weekly blogging thing, until I’ve got enough posts for a book. And while I can run this brianstorming exercise through ChatGPT to come up with a good outline (and I probably will, at some point), I’d like to throw it out there and hear from some of you.

So what do you think? What’s the angle you’d really like to see me take with this?

By the way, here’s a mock-up of the cover:
