They want to maintain their humanity… But they also want AI to do all the work and hand them a perfect story. The result: they're confused and feel like crap when it’s done. Here’s what’s really going on: You can’t feel creative ownership over something you didn’t contribute meaningfully to. It is impossible. When you let AI carry the majority of the creative load, the result might look impressive but it also feels empty. Because it doesn’t contain any part of you for the simple reason that just how painting uses color, and music uses notes, stories use emotion and without your input... well, you get it. But also - just as importantly - ownership has always come from effort. Even when people used to outsource on a writer-for-hire basis, they paid for it in money that they acquired through time and sweat. That exchange created value. But now, AI does it for basically free. So if you don’t invest your intellectual capital - your taste, your creative fingerprints — there’s nothing binding you to the work. That’s why you feel worthless, and the content itself is worthless. So there's a clear contradiction: Writers want AI to deliver perfection quickly and still feel human pride. But you can’t have both. And this is an important principle, because even if AI does happen to give you something "perfect", it is encumbent upon you to raise the bar. You cannot settle for what it gives you... You have to elevate it. So clearly the only way around this is the way it’s always been... You have to do the work. Not busywork. Meaningful work. Direct, decide, refine, sculpt — step by step. Continuously raise the bar. That’s exactly what I built Scriptmatix Story Engine to do. It gives you structure, speed, and creative support... But keep your hands on the story at every stage so you can raise the standard. AI is helping us write the best screenplays ever... it's just people need to learn to use it. Because if your fingerprints aren’t on it, it’s not yours. AI doesn’t rob your humanity... skipping the work does.

Hey all, i've been MIA as I get ready for a hard launch of the app. But i wanted ya'll to know that I have deployed the Adaptation model in Story Engine. You can paste your chapters from a novel and get back an outline inside of the Story Engine development process. From there, you all know what to do. Let me know if you have questions!

My creative mind never stops working. Lol! Amid some recent heart surgery news I received, I came up with a new story to develop using Scriptmatix. Last week I was told that I need my left heart valve repaired or replaced ASAP, which may require an open heart surgery procedure. That being said, my schedule is full with doctors appointments this month, followed by surgery, then 1-3 months of recovery. Nevertheless, I started thinking about my current situation and decided to come up with an "Enemy of The State" type of premise. HOSTILE HEARTS by Freddy L Robinson LOG LINE (working): A heart surgery patient unknowingly becomes a billion dollar target after his surgeon embeds espionage secrets in his mechanical heart valve replacement. The log line is a little rough around the edges so to speak, but I have plenty of doctors to gather some research information from until my surgery is scheduled. 🤣🙌🏾😃 Hey, as a writer I see it as an opportunity to ask questions, take notes, and develop the story in the Scriptmatix beat plot tool. Happy holidays to everyone, happy writing, and God bless you all. 🙏🏾 Freddy

Can I upload a pitch deck to the writers' room?

Do you use the Mike AI chat in the bottom-right corner of the dashboard? It’s there to help soundboard ideas and assist with technical issues, but I’ve noticed it doesn’t get much use. Any thoughts on why that might be?
