Hoping to see you all on the unmissable live call this Saturday! Bring your questions for first-time author @Brett Gardner, who will share the joys and pains of writing his first book, which has already won glowing reviews, including in The Wall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/warren-buffett-early-investment-methods-brett-gardner-10e027fe?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAgb6k6WpYjvPFEFP-8DPErIkgU5kthPjbRgqdpJE8W1ms7L2Y3NNRnjvb9I3Ac%3D&gaa_ts=68937cfd&gaa_sig=8ww8jWeYOdinbs1GOt_P_WYXfHv7vt9RcZ6T4VIGnbWhHfXRvWPCCiwbOACLl7l4IAHD03byLsqmkGvA-mh8sg%3D%3D https://blogs.cfainstitute.org/investor/2025/03/20/book-review-buffetts-early-investments/ I had the pleasure of coaching Brett through much of the process. So, join us both for a lively (and honest) discussion about what it really takes to write serious nonfiction.

Lay them out to create accountability!

Hello everyone! I’m truly excited to be part of this vibrant community. I live in Naples Florida with my husband. I am here to grow as a writer and immerse myself in a collaborative environment. Writing, to me, is not just a form of self-expression but a way to serve, inspire, and uplift others. I look forward to learning, sharing, and building meaningful connections along the way.

Friends, One of the biggest myths about AI writing tools is that you don’t need to know how to write to use them well. That’s exactly why we’re seeing so much generic, bloated, lifeless content out there on the internet. The fact is, prompting is an editorial skill. If you don’t understand what good writing is—if you can’t tell the difference between something elegant and something awkward, or between clarity and clutter—then you’ll have no idea how to guide the AI or improve what it offers you. Mediocre inputs equal mediocre outputs. And unless you know what exceptional writing is in the first place, you'll have no idea how to fix either. This is why, as I said in another recent post, exceptional writers have an enormous edge right now. If you know how to write well, you will also be able to prompt well. You can shape, refine, and lift words to make the tool work for your own vision, rather than settling for the default, as most others are doing right now. Let's keep the discussion going within the community so we stay on top of this trend. Shani
