I ran the modular / listicle test I mentioned last time by doing the following: Chose a narrow self-help niche Used the multi-brain method (research pass → writing pass) on each individual section Aimed for short, self-contained chapters/sections so I could avoid context window issues and keep...

Thanks as I say I do t know yet with regards to editing. Open to suggestions and ideas.

That’s an interesting question and I am not sure I have an answer at the moment. I have been primarily focused on creation up until this point. Thinking off the top of my head I envisage that there will be some AI assisted editing followed by human input. For the ai assisted I can see the...

I remember reading about the reply guy method a few years ago and was intrigued by it. I have used a few versions of it over the years. I think getting in early on a conversation can be very beneficial but it’s a lottery as to which ones grow and become something. With a few different accounts...

I have noticed in my AI experiments so far that the flow of sentences doesn’t follow a logical or sequential pattern. For those into theology it’s a Markian sandwich. Here’s A here’s b and here’s A. Interesting and not obvious choice by the machine. I do have writing style to complete later on...

So I think I have an idea to test based on multibrain and it goes back to the books I bought earlier. One book I liked was Brainfluence and I have kept going back to it. Perhaps to write a good book I shouldn’t be writing a traditional non fiction but rather a modular or listicle style book...

I have been running some experiments in my journey thread and what I have come to realise recently is that one prompt doesn’t work. You are asking the AI to do too many seperate jobs at once. My hypothesis is that breaking it down into a chain of prompts will produce better results. So on a...

After my last post I wanted to test whether breaking the writing process down into separate tasks helped produce noticeably better output. For this experiment I want to do a single variable test. The first experiment which we have done before was simply a one and done prompt Prompt: One-shot...

I think I had a bit of a eureka moment today when YouTube played a random video on a phd level paper. It got me thinking about the process of writing and so I went across to several AI chatbots to see what they would say. The consensus was that to write a book or chapter AI has to: 1...

AI is like a good football referee. They shouldn’t draw attention to themselves but their presence should make the game better. I think the issue is laziness in using AI and expecting it to do everything in one prompt.

My other books arrived and I think I have found an author I really enjoy reading Erik Larson does this creative non fiction. The Devil in the White City was a really interesting read. Not sure if there’s any practical implications for writing Good books with AI. One thing I am going to try...

Have you tried these? They almost look too easy

I agree. Any advice on what to try? I almost feel like it should be done at the same time as creating the book. One thing I have seen is tik tok looks popular for authors

Pop your image into google and do a reverse image search. See what comes up. If you are happy that the ai hasn’t directly copied I would go with it

I believe non fiction is the way to go as well. I think the ceiling is higher with non fiction but way tougher to get into. I saw a stat recently that 75% of profit for publishing houses comes from legacy books. A book nonfiction like say influence can be sold for decades. That makes a lot of...
