Writing Workflows with AI: How to Write a Book in Days (Not Years)
Most authors waste 80% of their time doing one of two things: 1. Staring at a blank page 2. Editing the same paragraph over and over Here’s the truth: it’s not a writing problem. It’s a workflow problem. When you don’t have a system, every writing session feels like starting from scratch.But when you build a repeatable AI-powered writing workflow, you can go from idea → finished draft in a fraction of the time. The 5-Part AI Writing Workflow I Teach My Authors 1️⃣ Brain Dump → AI Sorting Get every idea, story, and concept out of your head without worrying about structure.Then, give it to AI and say: “Sort these ideas into 10 logical chapter groupings, each with a working title.” 2️⃣ Chapter BlueprintingBefore writing a single word, create a chapter map with: - 1 opening hook or story - 3 key points - 1 action step or takeaway - Prompt: “For Chapter [X]: [title], write an outline with a hook, 3 main points, and 1 takeaway.” 3️⃣ Draft in Chunks Stop trying to write a whole chapter in one go. Use AI to expand bullet points into 300–500 word sections.Prompt: “Expand this bullet point into 400 words with examples, teaching moments, and a conversational tone.” 4️⃣ Edit for FlowOnce the draft is done, run it through AI for clarity, pacing, and engagement.Prompt: “Edit this chapter for clarity and flow. Keep my tone [insert tone], remove fluff, and highlight key phrases.” 5️⃣ Format & Prep for Publishing Use AI to generate: - Chapter summaries - Pull quotes for marketing - Social media teasers - Prompt: “Summarize this chapter in 3 sentences, write 3 powerful pull quotes, and create 2 social media captions to promote it.” The Point If you don’t have a workflow, you’re not writing, you’re wandering. AI doesn’t just make writing faster. It gives you a system that makes it impossible to get stuck. You don’t need to wait years to finish your book. You just need the right workflow. 💬 Comment WORKFLOW and I’ll send you my AI Writing Workflow Blueprint so you can map, draft, and edit your book without the burnout cycle.
