The Difference Between Talking About It and Doing It.
I'm very proud of this. I know anyone can file for a copyright. This isn't about a piece of paper. It's about what it represents. I keep repeating myself but for years, Caleb Humphries: The Dawnbringer's Heir existed only in my head. Then it became notes, outlines, rough drafts, rewrites, late nights, worldbuilding, character art, beta reader feedback, and countless revisions. Today, I'm holding the copyright registration certificate in my hands. Most people talk about writing a book. Very few ever reach the point where they can hold something that says they actually did it. There's still work to do before release. I'm currently going through the manuscript one more time, cleaning it up and tightening everything I can before September. But this is a milestone worth remembering. I'll be framing this with my book cover. 📖 Caleb Humphries: The Dawnbringer's Heir—by Tyler J Schliecher—Coming September 2026
The Difference Between Talking About It and Doing It.
Turning a Dream Into Something Real
Over the past year, I’ve been working on something that started as just an idea over 10 years ago—a story I couldn’t get out of my head. This is a short teaser for the book I’ll be releasing later this year—a trailer meant to give future readers a glimpse into the world they’re about to step into. It’s been a process of brainstorming, learning, creating, and pushing through obstacles—but seeing it come to life like this has made it all worth it. In the past, this idea probably would’ve faded after a day or two. But with the tools available today, like AI, I finally had no excuse not to chase it. If you’ve got something you’ve been sitting on… this is your sign to start.

@Shelly Huntington I actually use 5 different ai apps. I mainly use Chat GPT and pay for that. I use that to generate images. Then I use grok (before video generations became a premium feature) to generate my images into video. I would have chat GPT actually write me a prompt for a 6 or 10 second clip, based on what I wanted to see. Video generations agent always perfect. Some would take 20+ regenerations to get what I wanted and rewriting the prompt of I noticed ai creating a consistent issue. I also use Claude. This one is great for scanning documents. I use it to assist me in editing my manuscript and it's better and remembering details on long documents. Gemeni and Perplexity are ok. I use them as a second opinion to what I'm writing or I need a better image that chat cannot create. It's a lot but I've become accustomed to how they all work for what I need. Lastly, After I had all the video clips that I needed, I just used a simple video editor app on my phone and downloaded some royalty-free music. For my book, I wrote it myself but instead of paying a professional editor, I use chat GPT to review what I have wrote and enhance it to polish and clean it up so it reads better. It saves on cost and it's been more of a collaborator for me.

@Chris White I just dropped it and I am happy to share what I have been working on. And as for the copyright concerns I had earlier, I didn’t run into any issues.

1) Finishing editing my promotional trailers before my April 3rd deadline. 2) Read at least 3 of my chapters from my proof-copy and read how it flows and catch major errors the reader might catch. 3) Creating another sequence of bookplates to be used for book signings.
Building My First Fantasy Novel and Brand
Hey 👋 I’m Tyler, from Kansas City. Right now I’m working on finishing and publishing my first fantasy novel, Dawnbringer’s Heir. It follows a kid who finds a magical chess piece that pulls him into a war-torn world and forces him to step into something bigger than himself. The biggest thing that slowed me down has definitely been overthinking and wanting everything to be perfect. I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking, reworking, second-guessing… all that. But I’ve been learning that perfection isn’t really the goal—and honestly, not everyone is going to love what you create anyway. Reading is subjective. Once I accepted that, it got a lot easier to just move forward and actually make progress. I’m aiming for a September release and working on things beyond just writing—like cover design, trailers, and figuring out how to actually get the book in front of people. I don’t just want to publish it—I want it to connect and mean something. Excited to be here and see what everyone else is building.
