Thanks for sharing this. I've been doing the same, though my process is not this structured. I don't use the playground and I'm paying for Chat GPT pro because I also use it with coding tasks at work, but now I'm wondering if I should try out the pay as you go model and move to the playground.

I wrote a whole article about the fact that maybe writers shouldn't fear AI, but embrace it. (It's been waiting for the editors at The Generator to do something about it for a week so maybe I should just publish it somewhere else.) The more I think about it the more it seems there's no way around actually integrating AI into our process.

I guess the future is pretty cyberpunk, isn't it?

Hey FM, I wanted to ask you what you thought about me ditching prompts on TRE to niche down on helping readers "build a one-person media empire by focusing on the reader experience" ?

I have been trying to work on longer projects I have ongoing lately, so I haven't been writing to prompts. I'd say that would work well for me. I'd like to have a one-person media empire. I'd like that very much. I just need to, you know, write something first. 🙃

Thanks for the feedback bud. It's very helpful.

Well, just so you know, you have a fan girl in me. Just get something on Kindle already. Put Anchora in Reedsy then Amazon and I'll buy it. 😉

I love your stories so write when you can, write when you can't. One word in front of the other.

My process grows more structured the more I write about it. 😉

But in truth also because I wanted my AI buddy to be more consistent and for me to write ahead instead of sweating every Friday to get my chapter out.

I prefer Pay as you Go, because I tend to use things in consistently, my MidJourney sub is languishing half used at the moment. Until I start writing up how to make Book Covers and Social Media materials! 😁

Yeah, I'm less enamoured with Medium and more focused on building my audience on platforms I at least part-own a little bit (the email list on here).

If you can't beat 'em, join (with) 'em. But I think it's like choosing to use typewriter instead of a word processor. It's a tool. Although I do worry about 100% synthetic fiction.

But people do tend to like people. 🤞

Thanks for reading!
