AI writing tools are great at generating content—but they don’t track whether scenes actually increase pressure or reinforce stakes. They don't scan for tension escalation, emotional cost, chapter pressure...

The tool I'm building does.

For example, in Chapter 1 of The Hunger Games, almost every interaction tightens survival pressure. That’s a big part of why it works—but current tools don’t see it.

Feels like this is the next layer writing platforms will need.

Teachers are often told to “add creativity,” while also being told not to deviate from standards, pacing guides, or assessments. That contradiction is a big reason creativity so often feels unsafe in practice.

I quietly published a short book this week.

It grew out of a tension I kept seeing in classrooms, one that made creativity feel riskier than it needs to be, even for thoughtful, experienced teachers. I hope this helps

Heard from a past physics student. He made this great music video, a Black Sabbath cover, but in a vastly different style. Check it out. I hope you like it as much as I do. If you're looking for something Peaceful and Soothing, this is it!
