Hey fellow authors! You’ve heard of this thing called AI (Artificial Intelligence) and I bet you have questions, such as:

• How fast can an author write a publishable novel using AI?

• Does using AI speed up the writing process?

• Can AI help an author write consistently?

• How does a writer adjust to using AI?

• Should you use AI to write your next novel?

• If you’re an aspiring writer, can AI help you start and finish your first novel?

• If you are blocked or bored or burned out, can AI revive your storytelling chops?

• How can AI help if you’re faced with the stress of looming deadlines?

• Can AI help you write to market and/or write stories that break boundaries?

If you have these and other questions about using AI in practice and not just in theory, then let ‘An AI Author’s Journal: From 0 to 70000 in 14 Days’ be your field guide. I’m USA Today Bestselling Author, Rachelle Ayala, the author of over 80 romance novels and the founder of the Romance In A Month method.

In this guide, I will present a few easily-available tools: Sudowrite Story Engine, ChatGPT, OpenAI Playground, and Bing Chat. I will show you how to set up these tools, use them to generate novel manuscript prose, and point you to resources to get you started.

Next, we’ll dive into my 14-day journey where I went from literally zero (no story idea) to 70000 readable and publishable words that form a coherent and complete novel.

Along the way, I’ll explain my decision-making process and the pros and cons of each method I used. You’ll get a ringside seat to my struggles to increase my AI word percentage, and I’ll show you how I made plot changes in midstream. You will see the exact (to the minute) time I spent in each phase with each tool, and you can judge whether I used AI effectively.

I’ll be candid about my thoughts and feelings, challenges and frustrations, serendipity and surprises while producing the AI words and mashing them with my own.

Finally, I’ll share the tips and tricks I learned, including shortcuts and methods. I’ll share screenshots and excerpts. Most importantly, I’ll provide the prompts and beats or commands I used as well as a list of common AI phrases for you to check your writing against.

My goal is to provide you with a simple, easy-to-follow, and reproducible method for you to write a novel using the available AI tools. I hope my advice and encouragement will help you achieve your own writing goals beyond your wildest dreams.

So come along and take this 14-day AI writing challenge with me. What are you waiting for? Maybe you will beat me, so let’s get going.
