Sometimes you wonder why you put in the effort that writing demands. Then somebody writes something like “Fael is a master of building tension...”

And you think what? They're talking about me?

Keep going. The next thing you write could be your breakthrough.

Students at NYU asked the creators of South Park the million-dollar question:

“What makes a good story?”

They gave one of the best explanations of story I’ve heard:

@RobertFael Thanks, Robert. You made my day!

One of the biggest challenges in storytelling:

Highlighting and exaggerating emotion.

For the last 2 weeks, I’ve been editing the first draft of my book.

This “Feelings Wheel” has been open in a tab the entire time:

• 7 basic feelings
• 43 mid-level feelings
• 96 deep feelings

I find it super helpful. Hope you do too.

If you want to give it a try, check out ChatGPT: https://t.co/3wqGhm6oEH

[Mike Fleming @Hiveword]

Want to dip your toes in the AI waters? ChatGPT is a great way to get succinct answers to your every question or even generate entire scenes. A great way to dabble is to treat AI like a researcher.

I recently wondered how locomotive smoke smelled.

AI can definitely be your writing partner in many ways. Research is one example and getting your juices flowing is another.

Because it's a chat and remembers what you've "spoken" about you can ask further questions or have it refine what it provided.

@AuthorTOBurnett I’d nuke it from orbit. Shouldn’t take too long.

@jasonprovencio How did it hold up after all these years?

@Your_Screams Living in the same state, I see these guys a lot and they bring it every time. They have a newish album, too, if you're interested.
