When AI Lends a Helping Hand
Steph and Danica are all about harnessing AI ethically to support authors. Need a break from brain fog or relentless typing? AI can lend a hand to brainstorm ideas or even draft parts of your next masterpiece. The bottom line? AI exists to boost, not replace, the distinctive creativity that sets your work apart.
Nipping Bullying in the Bud
The duo tackles a more serious issue—the bullying some authors face for embracing AI. They remind us that every writer should have the freedom to explore these tools without judgment, as long as they adhere to ethical practices.
Crafting Masterpieces, AI-Assisted
Steph shares her experience using AI to craft her stories, particularly when her fingers beg for a rest. But don't fret—every word still gets that signature, personal touch from its creator before it reaches eager readers. Danica reveals her reliance on AI and dictation tools, allowing her to focus on the essence of storytelling rather than the endless typing.
Creative Collaboration with AI
Both hosts agree that AI has nudged them to become better writers. By challenging them to reassess common phrases and expressions, AI has spurred them to grow more creative and insightful in their work. It's not all about simplifying the writing process; it's about enhancing it.
Welcome to the Future: Meet Raptor Write
Steph introduces a groundbreaking tool, Raptor Write, from the Future Fiction Academy. This comprehensive, completely free AI-assisted writing platform is geared towards fiction writers, offering features such as:

Although it doesn't offer as many organizational or world-building tools as some other AI software, it more than makes up for it with its user-friendly interface.
