How did I do with my goal to write 10 AI-assisted stories? Not terrible: I did manage to write 6 stories, at least through the AI part. I also burned through about 40k word on my Sudowrite plan\u2014obviously, I didn&#8217;t include all of those words, but Sudowrite charges you for all the words it generates, whether you use them or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six stories falls short of my goal of ten, but I&#8217;ve learned quite a lot from the experience, and feel confident (and eager) enough to move on to long-form fiction now. However, I should probably take another week to rework and finish most of these stories, just to see how it works. I&#8217;m sure I will learn a lot from that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are all of the AI-assisted stories I&#8217;ve written so far:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Quantum Worlds:<\/strong> A near future SF story about a struggling science fiction magazine editor who gets swamped with AI-assisted short stories, until he figures out how to turn it around and use AI to make his magazine successful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Knight and the Half-Goblin:<\/strong> A fantasy story about a half-goblin half-orc, a pacifist dragon, and a struggling hedge knight, and how they use their unlikely skills and friendship to save the land from a rising dark lord.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Last Voyage of the Pioneer:<\/strong> A space opera story about a clandestine mission to find the Voyager and Pioneer probes and recover or destroy them before an invading alien race uses them to locate humanity&#8217;s homeworld.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Unforgotten Dream:<\/strong> A flash fiction piece about a woman who lives her life backwards, and a man who recognizes her.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Mother&#8217;s Last Goodbye:<\/strong> A zombie story about a mother who gets bitten while her three year-old child is taking a nap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On Wings of Redemption:<\/strong> A fantasy story about an ancient dragon who has to overcome a curse to save the land from the wicked sorcerer who controls him.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Lonely Planet:<\/strong> A space opera story about a planet that gains sentience after humans terraform it, but is almost destroyed by contact with an ancient artificial intelligence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Wingwoman:<\/strong> A near future apocalyptic story about a professional wingman who gets approached by a woman who wants help being a mother. It&#8217;s\u2026 different.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Princess and the Professor:<\/strong> A humorous fantasy story about how Jordan Peterson uses his 12 rules for life to defeat a dragon and save a princess.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alex-29XT:<\/strong> A prequel to my military SF story &#8220;Lizzie-99XT.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On the Eve of the Flood:<\/strong> A near future apocalyptic dystopian story about\u2026 a lot of things. It started with a really vivid dream I had, and I didn&#8217;t know how to finish it, so I just played with it in Sudowrite until a plot appeared. Hard to describe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all at various stages of production, though, and most of them need a lot of work\u2014or to be completely reworked, now that I&#8217;ve figured out my process more or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not bad for two months of writing, though. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it&#8217;s Saturday night, which means the end of the work week for me.
