Everything you said here was spot on. I especially love the point you made about not going this hard road alone, though. Isolation only amplifies the overthinking our creative brains love to do, ruining our chances of writing faster. The seeds of self-doubt will hinder our efforts to writer more human. That is why our team of editors/story coaches at One Brilliant Arc Media are so passionate about what we do helping to mentor writers, amplify the authenticity and power of their words, and putting them in community with other writers who can keep them encouraged and motivated along the way. ✨

That was a big lesson I had to learn. I'm a loner myself -- it wasn't until I got here on Substack that I realized the difference being a part of a community makes. You're doing great work over there at OBA, keep it up :D

By constant learning, we're becoming better writers. And we already smell bad written AI content from a mile away.

It's becoming obvious that only the good writers know how to train or prompt AI to get to the juicy stuff.

Good article and I agree on all points you've made, James. Thanks for sharing.

Creating systems is something I'm exploring now.

Once I've gotten clear of what I am about I'll explore a system that jumpstarts creativity for content generation and use AI to help put together ideas fast that I can edit and select down to authentic ones.
