Depending in what you write the help of AI is not for granted a great solution for fast progress. I used gemini and chatgpt for: - outlining the structure of my book series - getting suggestions for chapters - chapter structure - suggestions for a storytelling arc Lot's of output from both but nothing I could really use. I even provided the AI with all my writings from over ten years. (freelance journalist) Solution: Taking the time and sit with the uncomfortable emptiness in my head for a start. I read almost every standard book about writing over the years. Knowing and doing - once again - are two completely separate things 😆 I need to make the subject/topic/chapter MY OWN by just shmashing the keyboard like crazy and get the stuff out first. Messy, wrong, no logic, no structure..... The fun part: Sculpting beauty out of that chaos 😍😍😍💪💪💪

It’s designed to shift you from learning mode into creation mode by helping you brainstorm, get clear, and generate your first big book idea. 📌 What to do today: 1. Open the Classroom 2. Find Future Author Energy 3. Watch the videos + take notes I’ll personally hype you up, give feedback, or help you sharpen the concept — this is the fun part.

Watching my son learn how to read 📘 has been one of the most humbling things. He’s four, sounding out letters, piecing together words, celebrating the smallest wins. Reading is something we expect kids to learn. It’s built into the system. Publishing isn’t. Most adults were never taught how to publish a book. Some were never encouraged to write at all. Many second-guess themselves before they even get one sentence on the page. And that’s not a flaw — it’s a gap in education. The difference between people who publish and people who don’t isn’t talent. It’s a choice. A choice to learn. A choice to invest in yourself. A choice to keep improving instead of staying stuck. Just like reading, publishing is a skill. And skills can be learned at any age — if you’re willing to take action. 👉 If you’ve been sitting on a book idea and you’re ready to make this the year it actually happens, comment “BOOK” below and let’s take the first step together.
