📢TEN TIPS to help you find your voice as a writer📢

*motivation
*responses
*behaviour
*personality
*perspective.

I went back to the AI for another chat...

Probability determines responses. Good for small talk. Not so good for thinking.

2/2
DON'T rely on AI to do your research or homework. At least not yet. Check everything it tells you with an independent source.

DO complete the ITW AI survey if you're a reader and would like to express your views on the future of AI in publishing.

A few people have asked to see what I was asking the AI that caused it to be dishonest.

Here's a thread with a full exchange.

ChatGPT seems to fabricate evidence quite frequently, so try it yourself and check the AI's sources.

The lies continue.

ChatGPT didn't mean to hurt me. It just kind of happened.

TEN TIPS FOR AUTHORS LOOKING FOR IDEAS

1. Write what you know. Reach into your past for inspiration. Use personal experiences and emotions to create relatable characters and compelling storylines.

#writingtips #ideas #creativity #WritingCommunity
2. Explore your passions and interests to find inspiration for your novel. Think badminton is run of the mill? Think again. Your local sports club might contain someone who inspires the hero or villain of your next book. #writingtips #creativity
3. Observe the world around you – read the news, trawl the Internet, pay attention to the stories unfolding before you. Scratch beneath the surface and try to figure out how and why things happen, and why people respond in certain ways. #writingtips #ideas
