I am gathering that evolving AI programs can assist effectively in the design, writing, and editing of a novel. Years ago, I created a book-length story I still like and hope to complete someday. I am creative but lazy and short on the technical skills and the patience needed to do the complex editing to finish a work.
I intend to re-involve myself with that story by experimenting with AI writing-assist programs. Maybe that could complete it without finding and hiring outside help.
Over the years, and especially in writing this daily blog, I’ve faced challenges. I’ve had to learn to introduce ideas in ways allowing for quick comprehension while keeping topics brief for readability.
My long-ago story has good bones but is overwritten, wordy, and with awkward transitions. Its finish has needed two outside assistants: a professional story editor and a skilled illustrator.
Perhaps AI could fill both needs. I often tap AI for blog illustrations and usually am satisfied with its outputs. If current AI text editing actually helps, my story may again come alive.
I will find out by initiating a learning experiment, that teams my good story bones with today’s AI capabilities. That could enable illustrations that are integrative and, with editing assistance, improve my story’s readability.
Ohmigosh! If successful, my improved story might become a candidate for self-publishing, and by then, with assistance from even newer AI.
Dear Friends: There’s always hope for better options for those with patience. Diana
