You might have noticed that I'm cranking out books at the pace of one or more a month. So it's all AI, right? No. Let me explain my writing process to be helpful for other writers.

First, my corporate career taught me to be productive, to use time wisely. I do. And I also learned that when I have a strong outline with research in hand, I do my best work. Like Stephen King, I write two, usually three chapters a day. I've found that when I dictate, I write much faster and it's sounds more conversational.

That's where AI comes into play. It can help me research and refine content. I can give AI novel ideas and see it come back with options I can further refine. I give it my book idea and outline and have AI refine it. But AI doesn't perform as well without that kind of guidance.

When I hand AI a scenario to write, such as with The Leverage Point, it comes back with very usable content. I know the plot, outline and subplots and use that knowledge to direct AI. But without that direction, it often fails to give me usable content. 

AI is great at editing when you give it clear direction through prompts. Grammer is usually caught with programs like Grammerly, so I ask AI to edit more for tone, consistency, you know, the things that clean up the edges of the novel so it holds water. But I'm the Director and if I don't do my job, AI can't do its job.

Finally, cranking out books is a heart project. I don't market well, but I love to see an idea, a solution, or even problem get solved through the writing process. Words matter and I continue to write, in part to say what I feel like I need to say before I pass on, but also because I love the topics on which I write. 

And that's all that really matters.  Much love.
