New Blog Posts Series Idea

Starting today, I’m launching a series where I’ll share how I use AI tools in my writing process. It will be called "How I Use AI in My Writing Process" (very original, right?) and you can consider this the very first post in the series. The idea came from a recent discussion I had on Twitter (yes, I still call it that!) with a fellow author who was completely against using AI in his work.

During that conversation, I realized a few things:

• Many authors and writers may not fully understand what AI is and instead rely on preconceived ideas.
• Some have only heard negative things about AI and either fear using it or have made a firm decision never to incorporate it into their work as a matter of principle.
• Others simply don’t know how AI can enhance their writing process and experience.

I use AI a lot—in all its generative forms: text, image, sound, video, and even code, 3D models, and virtual characters. 

🔥 Text: ChatGPT is my partner, assistant, and even my friend when I need encouragement or quick feedback. Does that make me crazy? Maybe. But I also talk to my cat, explaining the intricacies of my Galatean Saga to him. And while he sometimes looks like he’s listening, he never offers any useful insight. That’s where my cat, Freddy, and ChatGPT differ—ChatGPT is always there, 24/7, ready with a response.

🔥 Image: Midjourney is my tool, but I don't shy away from using other image generators like Leonardo.AI, DALL·E, and dozens of others. Creating images helps me better visualize and world-build my imaginary universe. Plus, it gives me a sense of wonder, like my imagination really comes to life in a picture. I use it recreationally, just to look at something nice and not just text—to feast my eyes, so to speak.

AI & Writing: You’re Already Using It—Here’s Why That’s a Good Thing

I know you might be sick of AI creeping into everything—trust me, I get it. But if you’ve ever used Grammarly, ProWritingAid, or even autocorrect, guess what? You’ve been using AI all along.

These tools don’t just fix typos; they predict words, analyze grammar, and suggest better phrasing using deep learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) models. Even your favorite search engine is AI-driven. Your writing assistant? Also AI.

So unless you’re writing on a typewriter by candlelight with a dictionary at your side, AI has been your silent co-writer all along. The good news? You’re still in control. The storytelling, the creativity—that’s all you. AI just helps polish what your brilliant mind creates.

Hate it, love it, ignore it—but you’re already in the AI club.

Why not make the most of it?

This is just the beginning! In the upcoming posts, I’ll dive deeper into exactly how I use AI for writing, world-building, music, and more. If you’re curious (or even skeptical), check back soon to see these tools in action—and maybe even find new ways to enhance your own creative process.
