7 ways I ACTUALLY use AI to help me create as a fiction author (8 videos with ChatGPT prompts)

I don’t need AI to write FOR me... I may need it to KEEP writing. Writers are drowning. AI is like the life raft I didn’t see coming—and I'm glad for it.

Modern life is brutal for creators. Writers are busier, more distracted, and more overwhelmed than ever — not because they lack ideas, but because they lack time, clarity, and energy.

And most of them have no idea how to use AI… because the online slop of anti-AI slogans keeps peeing in the pool for the rest of us.

This post is about how I use AI as a creative sidekick — not to write for me, but to remove friction, organize chaos, and help me keep creating in a world that never slows down.

AI helps me brainstorm faster, rewrite clearer, plan smarter, and stay in momentum — so I can protect the most human, sacred part of my work: writing stories that actually matter.

AI won’t replace the hard work. But it can give creators their time back — and that changes everything.

I’m a writer. A founder. A creative constantly juggling too many ideas and never enough time. Sound familiar?

For years I felt stuck — scribbling half-finished ideas in notebooks, losing story hooks in the middle of errands, staring at blank docs late at night when my brain was already fried.

But what if that didn’t have to be normal?

What if you had a creative partner who never got tired, never judged your bad drafts, and could help you go from messy brain dump to marginally better draft in record time?

That’s exactly how I use AI every single day.

Not to write for me.

But to think with me.

To clear the clutter, sharpen my ideas, and get me back to what matters most — writing books, building brands, and creating things that actually make a difference.

This post isn’t about hype or hacks. It’s how I actually use AI in real life — to move faster, stay focused, and protect my creativity in a world that never slows down.

Let's get into it.

But first, who the heck is writing this?

About Me: An Absent Minded Professor (without a degree) who has no choice but to succeed

Santa, I want an Anduril lightsaber for Christmas. I’ve been good, I promise.

I'm Dominic, an artist, writer, and creative who works full time and runs a few fun projects: Heroic Men, Saga Brand, Legend Fiction, and HaloZest. I love building things that mix faith, stories, and community.

My big goal? To help people live with more adventure, purpose, and real friendships. I like creating spaces where ideas come to life — and where people feel inspired to take action and make a difference.

Like most of us writers, we’re probably all under a ton of pressure. Family, work, careers… plus random crazy stuff like the stupid AirBnB next door that keeps booking new guests who slam every door possible and roll bowling balls down the stairs at 1am…

*cough…

Sorry. Did I say that out loud?

Like I said. Random crazy.

Moving on…

I've been using AI since the very beginning, and honestly, I've done my best to stay out of the endless war of opinions — the loud, messy arguments both for and against it.

From the start, it was super clear to me that I care way more about real creativity, beauty, and art than most of the people chasing likes with their dramatic YouTube hot takes.

At the same time, I'm not blind to the real power and very real limits of AI as a tool. I can appreciate its incredible usefulness while also cringing at the people pumping out lazy, low-quality slop just to make a quick buck, or the others building gated communities of 'purity culture' who act like using AI is some kind of moral failure.

It's never been either extreme for me — it's a tool. A powerful one. AI is the answer to all the tedious work we didn't ask for, and everyone expects from us.

Like every tool, it's all about how you use it, who you are while using it, and what you're actually trying to build with it.

A lot of this conversation has been one-sided for way too long.

Now that we’re getting past the loud reactions and silly trends, it’s time for people to focus, clear out the noise, and get back to doing real good in the world.

Why I Actually Use AI, and Where I Definitely Don’t

I don't use AI because it's trendy, flashy, or because everyone online says it's the future.

My personal inner Weta Workshop!

I use it because it's like having a creative team in my pocket — one that works at the speed of thought. It helps me bridge the gap between inspiration and execution without getting trapped in perfectionism or burning out.

AI doesn’t replace creativity — it keeps you moving.

You're already fast-thinking, full of ideas, and ready to create. But what slows you down is friction — the stuff that gets in the way:

• Struggling to name things

• Turning messy thoughts into clear language

• Organizing chaos into action steps

• Rewriting endlessly until it "feels right"

This is where I use AI like my creative sidekick:

• A strategic ghostwriter

• An improv partner

• A content lab that never runs out of coffee

But here's the key: AI doesn’t replace me. I can do my job faster, better, and with more joy. It helps me stay creative, stay in flow, and keep shipping great work without losing momentum.

Here's what I will not use AI for — and that is the specific, personal process of writing the stories and novels that matter most to me.

• I might ask for help with dialogue, skits, or outlining.

• I might get help brainstorming weird ideas.

• I might ask hard questions to challenge my plot.

But the act of writing — of sitting down with an empty page and wrestling through my thoughts — that is mine. That is the moment I meet the Muse.

That is where I feel closest to who I am as a writer and to the stories that feel like they're trying to break into the world through me.

This isn’t just about spitting out words on a page.

It’s about what is actually, deeply me. It’s about that mystery of writing at all.

No tool, no matter how smart or fast, can ever replace that sacred space of discovery and struggle.

Try out these prompts in ChatGPT:

"Hey Chat, here’s a messy idea I had—can you rewrite it clearly and ask me any questions that would make it better?"

"I’m stuck naming a character and outlining a story idea. Can you help me brainstorm something fun and original?"

My vision for creativity is far weirder, nobler, and more sacred than what most people talk about online. And yet, I’m also more practical than many of the creators I follow.

I believe in using every tool available to remove tedium, clear the clutter, and give myself more time to sit in that mysterious space of writing.

AI is a tool to protect the real work I want to do — not to replace it.

2. A Clarity Engine for Messy Ideas That Deserve to Be More Than Just Notes in Your Phone

Most of my ideas start as scribbled notes, half-formed voice memos, or chaotic streams of thought. My brain moves faster than my hands, and if I don’t capture an idea quickly, it’s gone.

AI helps me catch that thread. I’ll open a new chat while driving, cooking, or walking at night — quickly typing rough ideas, even if I’m half-coherent. Then I ask ChatGPT to rewrite it for clarity or ask me hard questions to sharpen the thought. This helps me break out of my own feedback loop and stay honest.

AI turns brain fog into frameworks. It rephrases the thing I meant to say but couldn’t quite land on my own.

This saves me hours — especially for:

• Client messaging for tough conversations or end-of-day clarity

• Drafting new sales pages to test fresh campaigns

• Testing new brand positioning (How would my brand sound if it was built for someone totally different?)

• Writing YouTube descriptions when I’m exhausted but still need to ship Why AI is the Best Writing Partner You Can’t Afford (But Can Actually Use Today)s, blog posts, social captions, engagement questions — and a thumbnail

• Helping me brainstorm and shape fun story ideas for projects I'm working on — whether it’s naming characters, outlining plot twists, or dreaming up wild settings. AI helps me keep the creative energy flowing when I’m stuck or need fresh inspiration.

Chat is so smart these days that you can talk to it at 1am with slurred speech and no sentence structure, and it will do a good job organizing and giving it back to you.

This is especially powerful for authors who feel busy, overwhelmed, and stretched thin.

When you’re juggling a day job, family life, and creative dreams, it can feel impossible to switch gears and write social posts, newsletters, or marketing content without draining your energy.

Some sample ChatGPT prompts:

Help me brainstorm this idea. I need someone to think it through with me. Ask me smart questions to uncover what's missing.

Look for hidden clues in what I’m saying—are there themes, patterns, or contradictions I’m not seeing?

Give me a list of fresh ideas based on this concept. Don’t hold back, go wide and weird.

What are some comparable books or titles in this genre that match the tone or theme of what I’m working on?

Challenge my assumptions. What am I taking for granted in this story idea or character arc?

Push me outside my comfort zone. Suggest directions I wouldn't have thought of, especially things that feel risky or bold.

AI helps take the pressure off. It gives you a head start, clears the noise, and lets you focus your best creative hours on what really matters — writing your book.

It’s like having an assistant who handles the small stuff so you can stay focused on the big story you’re called to tell.

3. AI for Novelists: Sound Like You and Stay On-Brand Everywhere You Write

I'm picky about words. Obsessive, even. Weird. I know.

Because I work with multiple different brands — some that I own, and others for my clients — every brand has its own voice, its own style, and its own rules. It’s like managing a cast of movie characters, each with their own way of talking to people.

That’s where AI comes in. I use it to help me stay consistent with brand voice across emails, blog posts, social posts, and marketing campaigns.

First, I set clear rules for each brand — things like what words they use, what they avoid, and what tone they have. Then, I do a big brain dump of what I want to say — messy, unfiltered, fast.

After that, I ask AI to rewrite it using the style, voice, and speech patterns of that brand or character. Usually, it gets me 50-60% of the way there. I still have to tweak it, clean it up, and add the final touch — but it saves me a ton of time.

This is one of those areas where someone with more time might write everything from scratch. I don’t have that luxury. I’m juggling client projects, managing brands, and creating YouTube videos almost every day across different channels.

I know that my strength is having real conversations, coming up with ideas on the fly, and staying creative.

AI helps me move fast. It drafts posts for me, writes video descriptions, suggests catchy titles, and helps me get past the blank page faster. It’s not about writing the next great American novel — it’s about writing a human, clear, and helpful post that connects with people.

And it helps me do that without getting stuck or burning out.

This is especially helpful for authors.

Sample ChatGPT prompts:

“Rewrite this in the style and voice of [my brand / this character].”(Used after pasting a brain dump to make content match a consistent tone.)

“What is the persona behind this content?”(Ask AI to read your writing and reflect back the tone, personality, and brand traits.)

“Draft a social post / email / video description about [topic] in the voice of [brand/character].”

“Suggest 5 catchy titles for this blog post / video about [topic].”

“Summarize this chapter / idea clearly and helpfully.”(For outlining or distilling complex ideas.)

A lot of writers love creating quick content — social posts, newsletters, short updates — but their real passion is writing their novel. The problem is, short content takes energy too. It pulls time and creativity away from their main project.

AI can help speed up the small stuff — drafting posts, brainstorming hooks, or summarizing chapters — so that authors can protect their best creative energy for their actual writing.

It’s like clearing the runway so you can take off faster when it’s time to write your story.

4. The Best Brainstorming Buddy You'll Ever Have (Who Never Gets Tired) - So You Don't Burnout Your Friends

When it comes to having ideas, I know that's my superpower. It’s what I’m best at.

Sometimes you need 50 ideas just to find the one that works — or to realize the other 49 were terrible. And that’s okay.

But it can be exhausting for a lot of people.

That’s why marketing agencies exist, why consultants get hired — because sometimes, it's just not possible to know everything or have the creative energy all the time.

For me, this used to mean grabbing time with friends at coffee shops or sitting down with family members, just to brain dump everything swirling in my head. I’d talk it all out loud because that’s how I work best.

Talking helps me focus — it pulls my scattered attention into a single point. It engages my brain, my voice, my hearing — it forces me to process ideas in real time.

But let’s be real: most people cannot keep up with us authors. The insane levels of creativity, the constant need to start something new, sketch it out, then abandon it two hours later…

Sometimes, it was never about finishing a new project.

It was about testing the idea, seeing if it had legs, seeing if it could breathe.

Sometimes, we have to start things to know if they’re worth finishing.

And that’s where AI comes in like an absolute lifesaver.

Instead of burning through your family’s patience or wearing out your friends, you can open up a chat with a bot and say: “Help me think this through.” It will ask smart questions. It will look for hidden clues in your thinking. It will suggest ideas, give you comparable titles, challenge your assumptions, and push you outside your comfort zone.

This has made me a far more functional human being.

I’m no longer expecting my family to help me hold and sort the wild chaos that lives in my brain — chaos that, let’s be honest, is sometimes bigger than me.

Instead, I have a creative companion that never gets tired, never gets overwhelmed, and never runs out of curiosity. It lets me be as wild and messy and curious as I need to be, without burning out the people I love.

AI helps me break past the blank-page curse. It doesn't just give me one answer — it gives me 20, and I pick the best.

This is especially true for fantasy fiction authors who are creating entire worlds from scratch.

A hundred years ago, an author might have spent months or even years slowly crafting their world, letting ideas simmer in quiet rooms with long walks and handwritten notes.

But that’s not how most of us live anymore.

Life moves fast.

You're dreaming up new worlds on your lunch break, sketching character arcs while waiting in traffic, or outlining plot twists on the subway.

AI lets you capture that burst of inspiration on the go and then helps you build it out later. It's like having a worldbuilding partner who never gets tired and never runs out of ideas — ready to help you fill in the details whenever you come back to it.

We can absolutely argue that it is a better way to live slower, more measured, and more intentional. I 100 percent agree — that’s my life goal too.

I want to create that space where I can slow down, breathe deeper, and be more thoughtful about what I create and how I live.

But for a lot of us, especially in the modern world with its pace and pressure, that slower lifestyle is a dream. It’s a beautiful goal — but not always a practical reality for today. Life moves too fast, demands stack up, and the pressure to create and produce never really lets up.

So we use tools.

Try out these ChatGPT prompts:

“I’m brainstorming ideas for a fantasy novel. Can you help me come up with unique story premises or worldbuilding concepts?”

“Here’s my current story idea: [insert short summary]. Help me think it through. Look for hidden clues or themes in what I’m trying to say.”

“Can you give me comparable titles, genres, or authors based on this idea: [insert idea]? I want to see where this fits in the market.”

“Challenge my assumptions about this story. What might not work, and how could it be stronger or more original?”

“Push me outside my comfort zone. Suggest bold twists or risky ideas I wouldn’t normally consider.”

“I have a vague character in mind: [describe]. Help me flesh them out with motivations, flaws, backstory, and arc.”

“Help me build a fantasy world for this story. Start with geography and politics, then magic systems and cultures.”

“I’m stuck on this scene: [describe]. What are some ways it could unfold or twist?”

We choose to outsource the heavy processing, the busywork, and the repetitive tasks. We use AI and technology not to replace us — but to give us breathing room. It’s not about cutting corners; it’s about protecting what matters most.

Because the most valuable thing we have is not our ability to hustle harder — it’s the fragile, tender shoots of creativity.

That spark of imagination that needs time and space to grow. That inner voice that needs to be listened to, not drowned out by noise. And that’s the part we have to guard and nurture with everything we’ve got — because it’s the part that makes the work worth doing in the first place.

5. How AI can turn big Fiction Ideas Into Action Steps You Can Actually Follow

Having ideas is the fun part. Turning them into clear, simple steps you can actually do? That's where AI becomes your best tool.

I’m always coming up with new ideas — whether it's for a client, a brand I’m building, a story I want to write, or some new project I’ve dreamed up.

But having ideas is just the first step. The real challenge is turning that idea into clear, practical, step-by-step actions I can actually take.

Sometimes I need to think about what will happen long-term — like what will this project look like a year from now? What steps do I need to take now to make that happen later? For most of us, thinking that far ahead is really hard. We're usually trained to think about today, maybe tomorrow, and only have a few vague ideas about next month or next year.

That’s where ChatGPT becomes an incredible tool. For example, if I’m working on a new story idea or a novel, and I have a word count goal or a deadline, I can ask Chat to create a simple plan.

It can break down my big idea into tiny tasks that I can check off — things like write this scene, outline that chapter, set a goal for word count this week. It helps take the huge idea in my head and turn it into a clear plan I can actually follow.

And it’s not just for writing. I use Chat to create business plans, content calendars, marketing strategies, and project timelines. I can take what was once a wild, messy, exciting idea — something that felt impossible to figure out — and in about 20 minutes, I have a practical, easy-to-follow plan.

This helps me make smarter decisions much faster. I can decide whether the idea is worth my time or if it was just fun to think about.

And I can let it go without feeling bad if it’s not something I need to work on right now. How many times have we all started projects, spent months or even years on them, only to realize later they were never worth all that time?

“Act like a writing coach or act like a consultant who can help me structure my time and my thinking.”

“I want you to challenge my ideas and read between the lines… help me identify what I'm actually trying to say here.”

“Hi, I’ve got this idea. Here’s what I’m thinking. I want you to challenge my ideas and read between the lines… act like a writing coach or consultant…”

AI gives me the power to think through the future quickly. And it doesn’t just help with big ideas — it helps break them down into super small, achievable tasks that fit into real life.

That’s huge for busy people who are juggling jobs, families, and other responsibilities.

It’s like having a project manager, business coach, and creative partner all rolled into one.

It helps me test ideas faster, plan smarter, and avoid getting stuck in that endless cycle of starting things without finishing them.

It’s a tool that helps me move forward with confidence and clarity, without feeling overwhelmed.

6. How I (Fiction Author) Use AI for Reader Objections & Feedback Before I Publish

Sometimes the best way to improve your ideas is by testing them out with real people.

This is something that a lot of professionals do all the time. They share their ideas with others, get feedback, and figure out what works and what doesn’t.

People can sometimes tell you if your idea is clear, helpful, or just not very good. More often, if they’re not yelling at you and throwing ripe fruit, they’re trying to spare your feelings and say something they hope is helpful. Which never is. We all do it. Don’t judge.

I’ve spent years writing ideas, posting them online, and waiting to see what people thought. In my head, everything sounded great. But until I got comments, feedback, or questions, I didn’t really know if my idea connected with anyone.

That can be a slow and sometimes hard way to learn.

But now, we have AI. And it can help speed up this whole process.

You can ask ChatGPT to help you figure out what people might say about your idea.

• What questions would they have?

• What problems might they see?

• What might confuse them?

Instead of spending hours searching online, reading comments, or asking around, AI can help you find that information really fast.

This doesn’t mean you should stop reading books, doing research, or talking to experts. Those things are still very important. But AI is a great tool that can help you understand your idea better and faster.

It helps you see what your audience might care about, what your project is missing, or what parts you need to explain more clearly.

Some sample ChatGPT prompts:

Hi ChatGPT, I want to write a [blog post/story/YouTube video] about [insert topic]. This matters to me because [explain why]. Can you help me find out what people might not understand or might disagree with in this idea? What questions would they have?

ChatGPT, please research and list the top 10 objections or complaints people have about [insert topic]. Include the source of the objections like Amazon reviews, Reddit threads, or Quora discussions. Please also include the links if possible.

Here are the objections people have about my topic: [insert list]. How might my story/blog/video address these concerns? What could I improve or explain better to respond clearly?

Please look at these reviews or complaints: [insert text]. Can you highlight the key phrases or language patterns the audience uses? Then help me rewrite my idea using their words so I can better connect with their concerns.

You can also use AI to help you come up with answers to tough questions, practice how you might respond, or write content that solves problems people have. This makes it way easier to improve your work quickly.

It means you can learn faster, make fewer mistakes, and avoid wasting time on an idea that was never going to work anyway.

Honestly, that’s a huge deal.

Saving time, energy, and effort is priceless when you’re trying to build something new. If you want to create things that people care about and love, you need to understand them first. And AI helps you do that better — and a lot faster than before.

7. How AI helps me Find More Time to Write - Even When I'm Drowning in Work

For authors who are money-strapped like me — who don’t have a lot of time, who wish they could spend hours lost in creative work but just can’t — getting help is essential.

Especially if you’re like me and have ADD or extremely demanding job requirements.

Most of my creative energy goes into keeping my job running, paying bills, and making sure life stays afloat. And that means, by the time I get to the evening — exhausted — I’m staring dumbly at the thing I’m most passionate about: my writing.

Honestly, this is a silly situation for humans to be living in.

I don’t think it’s good or sustainable.

But it’s real. It’s where I am.

So when I have a new idea, I drop it into ChatGPT and ask for help.

I would love to hire an editor or a writing coach. But even though I’m the founder of multiple communities, all my extra income goes toward medical bills.

So for people in my situation, ChatGPT has become invaluable. I can ask it to act like a writing coach — to study the chapter I just wrote, suggest improvements, spot potential plot holes, or offer ideas to enrich my characters and story.

It’s especially helpful in the ideating stage. I can ask it to pretend to be my favorite author and recommend how they would structure a plot. Or I can ask for advice from the perspective of a professional — like a psychotherapist for character development, or an astronaut for accuracy in worldbuilding.

Sometimes I’ll ask Chat to help me unpack my characters — why they matter to me, what motivates them. This is work we sometimes only figure out after writing an entire novel. (Which is exactly what I did — 120,000 words later, I finally began to understand my character’s heart and motivation.)

How helpful would it have been to have a brainstorming buddy at the start? Someone to put my character through different frameworks, ask me questions, and help me clarify why their story matters?

This is what authors do. We create through the process of discovery. But life is hard.

We’ve all had genuinely good ideas fade because life demands too much attention. And the tiny bits of energy we do have? They often get lost because creative work requires focus, time, and heart.

Try these sample ChatGPT prompts:

"Hi Chat, I just wrote a chapter. Can you read it like a writing coach and suggest ways to improve it? Are there any plot holes, weak spots, or ways I could enrich the characters or story?"

"Hi Chat, can you act like [insert your favorite author’s name] and help me structure my plot the way they might?"

"Hi Chat, I want you to act like a professional psychotherapist. Here’s what I’ve got on my character so far. Can you profile them, infer their motivations, and suggest what might be missing?"

"Hi Chat, act like a NASA engineer. I’m building a space station for my story. Based on real science, give me 6 things I should include to make it realistic and creative."

"Hi Chat, act like a family law attorney in California. Here’s my story setup. What would a real lawyer recommend or critique to make this more authentic?"

"Hi Chat, here’s my character. Can you run them through the Save the Cat framework / Pixar storytelling framework / Hero’s Journey and help me brainstorm what they might go through?"

If there’s a tool that can help us move faster and further — so we don’t lose those fragile ideas — that’s worth its weight in gold.

Especially when you’re stuck in a life you can’t control, can’t fix overnight, and can’t escape to a dream writing retreat with endless sunlight, healthy food, and no bills.

We don’t live in that world. Not anymore. A hundred years ago, people didn’t have to stress over endless notifications, distractions, and impossible workloads.

The demands are higher now. The tedium is relentless. And I believe there’s a reason AI showed up when it did.

AI arrived right on time — not to replace us, but to empower us. To help us handle the cosmic level of nonsense we’re buried under.

And the only way we’re going to get through it is by empowering more creators and artists to create — and to create more often.

The Secret Every Overwhelmed Creator Needs to Hear: Choose Your Own Path

Not everyone will use AI the same way — and that’s exactly how it should be.

The things I choose to automate, cut corners on, or streamline with AI are often the exact things that someone else will guard fiercely, hand-crafting every detail with passion, sweat, and hours of careful attention.

And the flip side is just as true — the things I stay up late at night working on, pouring my heart, creativity, and yes, sometimes my sanity into — those are the things someone else will happily outsource to a machine without a second thought.

That’s why this has never only been about speed for me. It’s never just about doing everything faster just because you can.

It’s about growth. It’s about choosing what kind of person you want to become through the work you decide to do by hand.

Everyone’s journey looks different because everyone values different things. And that’s what makes this space exciting — and human.

So just be honest about it. That’s the real key here. Own your choices.

Be clear about what you value and why.

We can’t expect the same wonder, admiration, or respect from a mass-produced, factory-style print-out as we would from an artisan’s one-of-a-kind creation.

They’re not even playing the same game — and that’s okay.

It’s not about better or worse. It’s about owning your process, staying rooted in your values, and respecting that others will accelerate different parts of the process.

I'm with most of us on this — if you simply hit a button and generated something, don't ask for the acclaim of being a real creator with real skills.

Creation is about intention, effort, and adding your heart and vision into the work. Tools can help, but they can’t replace the human behind the ideas. Generating is part of that process. It doesn't replace it.

We would never want it to.

Final Thought: AI Is The One Tool Helping Creators Keep Creating (When Everything Feels Impossible)

I’m not here to let AI replace me.

I’m here to let it amplify me.

AI removes friction. It maintains momentum. It keeps me in flow. It helps me get unstuck faster, finish what I start, and move through creative problems without burning out.

It’s the difference between slogging through creative mud with worn-out shoes and driving a four-wheel-drive content engine that’s built to handle rough terrain.

If you’re a founder, writer, or creator trying to do a lot with little time? AI is the quiet teammate you didn’t know you needed — one that’s always ready, never tired, and doesn’t care how messy your first draft is.

It can help you ship good ideas faster, clearer, and with less burnout. It helps you get back to what matters most — making things only you can make.

Let's be real. Someone will probably use it and abuse it faster than I will. They will 'win' and 'get ahead' and 'earn acclaim.' They might even rip me off and keep running.

Frankly, humans have been doing that before AI anyway. That doesn't bother me. It was never about them.

It was always about me learning a skill, because all this around us? It's not everything. Life here is the proving ground. Creativity is a sacred calling. And our culture has no respect for it, or for the wild and beautiful truths that we hold dear.

So if someone wants to game the system, that's on them. I want to get off the carousel and out of the rat race. That game is rigged. And if people build tools to play monopoly faster, that's their call.

But we can use their tools to play the long game better. The infinite game.

So that’s what I think, so far.

Because life isn’t slowing down.

But with the right tools?

Neither am I.

I hope this is helpful, and opens new doors for you. DM me any time. I’d love to know what you think.

Or you can help authors out, and share what you think (or your favorite line) in the comments!
