I’ve use ChatGPT nearly 100% of the time for my editing and bouncing ideas off of it. But I was wondering for all you out there, is it more of a preference thing? Or is one really better than the other?
I’m currently working on a novella series because novels take so much longer to write and produce. It’s my idea and mostly my writing. Just using for grammar and ideas when I have writers block. But I wonder, do people read novellas? My idea was originally supposed to be a graphic novel but I can’t afford an artist and AI isn’t there yet for consistent art. So I translated it into words. I figure a good 5-10 volume series with faster release would keep readers coming back. It’s a cyber-punk light LitRPG idea that came to me in a dream.
So I am 5 days post-op. My foot is all wrapped up in a partial cast and I am essentially couch bound. Before my injury I was fairly active. Exercising 5-6 days a week. Nothing insane like in my 20’s. But rowing, jogging and moderate weight training at home. But now all I can do is sit on my ass and recover.
So what did all you guys do to stay active(as much as we can with this injury.) I majorly lost my appetite and my energy level is low from most likely a mixture of pain, frustration, and no doubt a little depression. But I also know I can’t be sitting like this all the time. That isn’t healthy for me either.
Any recommendations from those of you have gone through it?
I ruptured my right Achilles 3 weeks ago. I got the surgery two days ago on Wednesday and I am still in an incredible amount of pain. Maybe I am just a whimp but it hurts way worse than the ruptured. When does the pain stop? The doc prescribed me weak painkillers but that hardly do anything.
Would anyone be interested in getting together a large group of people to do a scream at prospect park some day?
I have read it can be quite cathartic and help release stress. I know I have read a few articles of people getting together to do it in large cities and I have been considering giving it a try for a few months now.
“Screaming can provide immediate emotional and physical relief by acting as a "release valve" for pent-up tension. While not a long-term cure, it is often used in scream therapy (or primal therapy) to help process trauma and manage acute stress.”
Just an interesting thought. If we get a big enough group I think we should do it.
The use of AI isn’t going away and in my opinion most people are using AI tools across the spectrum of their lives and don’t admit it. So I struggle to understand the hate authors for using AI to help edit or bounce ideas off of. Editors and artists are expensive as fuck. So what harm does it do for someone like me who doesn’t have unlimited funds to shell out for a top notch editor or artist. AI for good or ill is here to stay, so why should someone be crucified for using a tool that is available to them.
I also think it’s interesting that people submit pieces of someone else’s work to an AI detector, which is another AI to then scream and shout and boycott them. It just seems very hypocritical.
Just my thoughts, I haven’t really discussed it with anyone online because people get so heated and lash out at anyone who even suggests using AI.
So I am about to finish Defiance of the Fall 6 and I have mixed feelings about the series so far. To me, it’s never been in my S-tier for LitRPG books but even so the first few books were entertaining and had me coming back for the next installment. But the story has kind of fizzled out and gotten a bit boring in my opinion.
Does it heat up again? Is it worth staying with the series or is it time to let go? To be honest I’m considering DNF’ing book 6 as I just don’t really care anymore. Thoughts?
