Some of you don't know First Drafts
So some of you do not know what First Drafts is and even being in here - I don't say a lot about it - but I'm sharing because of the new people and you'll hear "codex" "outline" and be thinking WTH are these crazy people talking about. In one of the courses (free) there is a "What a Codex & Outline" actually are... but you may be wondering where they are.... This weekend is a "drop" - I usually do these 2x per month. 1x is usually Chaos on Facebook and then the next one is Chaos on the website. Here was my FB post about it and the image is just some of the covers I made for the drop - there are close to 200 dropping again this weekend - no there is no set schedule except the times: 🚨 THIS WEEKEND = DROP CHAOS 🚨 (aka… set alarms, hydrate, and don’t blink) We’ve got a full weekend of website drops coming, and yes—things will move FAST. Everything happens on the site (not in the group), and trust me on this one: 👉 Register an account ahead of time ⚠️ Guest checkout = slower + riskier ⏰ DROP WINDOWS (approx, not guaranteed) Drops hit every 3–5 minutes during these windows 👀 SATURDAY 🕛 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM EST 🍺 Beer-Thirty w/ Joe: 3:00 – 4:00 PM EST 🌙 Late Night Drop: 11:00 PM – 2:00 AM EST 🇦🇺 Australia: This lands Sunday daytime (roughly 3–6 PM AEST) SUNDAY 🕛 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST 🍺 Beer-Thirty: 2:00 – 3:00 PM EST 📚 GENRES IN ROTATION (order not guaranteed) You’ll see a wild mix cycling through, including: ✨ Paranormal Romcom 💕 Standard Romcom 🖤 Mafia Romance (including MM) 🔥 Dark Fantasy Romance 🧙 Cozy Mystery & Cozy Mystery Paranormal 🩸 Horror + YA Horror 🐉 Romantasy 🏒 Sports Romance 🍞 Cozy Fantasy 🎮 LitRPG + Cozy LitRPG 🧠 Psychological Thriller 🚀 Hard Science Fiction 🤠 Western 🌆 Urban Fantasy …and yes, some genres show up multiple times. IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ✔️ Drops are website-only https://booksandbiz.com/shop ✔️ Items go fast—refresh is your friend ✔️ Schedules are a guideline, not a promise ✔️ Beer-Thirty = chaos + deals + good vibes

I'm new to this codex-buying idea. I assume that when you buy one codex, it is for a single book, but you can use it to build the world and create a series from there. Is that right? Are the RomComs listed all completely different, or would they be in a similar world? Wondering if I get to purchase more than one, if they would go together, or if I would be purchasing the foundation for multiple series.
Different LLMs almost exactly same output
I just started writing my first chapter, and using the same beats, I had 3 different models generate the chapter. They are almost identical, except for a word or phrase here and there. Did I do something wrong? I expected them each to have a different style or voice, maybe start the scene a little differently, so i could choose which sounded most like me, and which created a story that fit my vision. But they are pretty much the same! Is this normal?

Do you switch between them in the same book?

@Jeff Kirkland Thanks! That's good to know!
Editors for AI books?
Now that I have Novelcrafter, I'm thinking of trying a new pen name for a little more heat. My current editor is booked for a year, so I doubt she'd have space to take on more from me. Do you hire human editors for your AI books? Who do you recommend for small town romance 🔥🔥?

@Jason Cahoon Prior to this, I was just using ChatGPT. And even though Chat thought it was perfect, my editor had tons of changes for me, mostly developmental, and she was right. I'm hoping that these models will do a better job, so maybe I could get away without hiring it out. We'll see.
ScribeShadow Translations
For the first time my translations are getting bad reviews for terrible translations - I haven't done anything differently so it's just a translation provider issue - does anyone use anything different? The german and french ones are getting the worst of the reviews, Italian and spanish seem to be fine

@Jason Cahoon That sucks. Interesting that you had Gemini do the translation in SS, and outside had Gemini check it and say it was bad. Are you in the Scribeshadow FB group? I'd ask about it there.

I just translated 6 books into German, and have 3 of them live so far, but don't have any reviews yet to know if I'm in the same boat or not.
Dreams, goals, chaos... what’s yours?
Random question for the group... What are you actually aiming for with writing + AI? Is it just getting more books finished? Playing around with different genres? Making money? Entertaining readers? Or something else entirely? I’m realizing we probably all have very different reasons for being here, and now I’m curious 👀 For me, honestly? I want to hit a bestseller list and get one of those fancy letters someday (ideally for a few different pen names LOL). What about you?

All of the above? I want to make a living doing this, but I also want a life. Using AI helps me to be more productive, write more books, and hopefully make more money, but in a way that keeps me from getting burned out. I want to time to do other things that I like to do, like travel.
