This week I explore Artificial Intelligence helping me write stories and market stories. We explore two AI tools: ScoreIt! and Authors.ai. We also explore the life of a man who’s reality is being constantly shuffled by The Observer. What will become of our hero in this mixed up reality?

This week we examine Dead Voices by Katherine Arden as a mentor text. We also find out what happens in the cemetery when The Midnight Pets gather each night.

Dr. Kate Darling’s new book The New Breed: What Our History with Animals Reveals About Our Future with Robots is my latest Mentor Text read. I loved the book and it drastically challenged me to think about how I’m approaching AI. Some of the content confirmed my mental models for AI and others enabled new insights. I can’t wait to share this one with you so let’s get started.

Love chocolate? This post is all about my lessons learned from Hershey by Michael D’Antonio. I reflect on what I learned from the man who had dreams of a utopian town as well as how the author brought the tale to life. This is one of my Mentor Text series where I reflect on what I learned about writing and myself from the book. Enjoy!

This week we review The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones and see what I learned from the book. We also retell a creation my where when the wrong person speaks first, everything gets all messed up.

Let’s examine what I learned from Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds. This book had some great take aways beyond the good story and exceptional execution.
