Sometimes you wonder why you put in the effort that writing demands. Then somebody writes something like “Fael is a master of building tension...” And you think what? They're talking about me? Keep going. The next thing you write could be your breakthrough.

Quick shoutout to Mike Fleming @Hiveword. I'm not a great plotter but I do like somewhere to jot down notes, organize ideas, tinker with running order, and link to online research. Hiveword is perfect for my needs. Check it out. hiveword.com

One of the biggest challenges in storytelling: Highlighting and exaggerating emotion. For the last 2 weeks, I’ve been editing the first draft of my book. This “Feelings Wheel” has been open in a tab the entire time: • 7 basic feelings • 43 mid-level feelings • 96 deep feelings I find it super helpful. Hope you do too.

AI can definitely be your writing partner in many ways. Research is one example and getting your juices flowing is another. Because it's a chat and remembers what you've "spoken" about you can ask further questions or have it refine what it provided.

Want to dip your toes in the AI waters? ChatGPT is a great way to get succinct answers to your every question or even generate entire scenes. A great way to dabble is to treat AI like a researcher. I recently wondered how locomotive smoke smelled. #writing

Things ya just don't like to hear from your orthopedic surgeon: "It's not the absolute worst that I've seen, but it's pretty bad." Sooo, going to get the necessary pre-work done, and get on the schedule for a hip replacement.
