I’ve Finished My First Fiction Book With The Help Of A.I.
Hey There, Ever dream of writing a book but feel it's as unreachable as Pluto? You're not alone—about 70% of aspiring authors never see their work in print. That statistic could be enough to curl anyone into a ball of dispair, right? But hold on; I’ve got something that'll make you sit up and take notice. Have you heard of ‘BookPreneur’? No? Well, it's like the GPS for lost writers like us, guiding you through the rough terrain of the publishing industry.
Let me get a bit personal: I've been a non-fiction author since 1998. Yeah, it’s a long time. I've explored every corner of that non-fiction jungle and felt like I needed a new battleground. Enter fiction—for which, I’m thrilled to report, I didn't go in totally unarmed. Thanks to some slick AI tools, I transformed myself into a 'fiction creator,' merging tech wizardry with storytelling flair. Intrigued? I thought so.
So, what's the secret sauce in my new literary adventure? Funny you should ask! Ever heard of 'star seeds'? No, it's not the latest superfood. These are folks who, purportedly, come from other star systems to enlighten us Earthlings. Yeah, sounds wild, but it totally set my creative gears spinning. Thus, 'The Star Seed Chronicles' was born, starting with ‘The Lyra Legacy.’ Think star systems, new Earth ideologies, and an epic quest for interconnectedness.
Now, let’s talk nitty-gritty—my writing process. Imagine this: armed with AI tools like ChatGPT, I fed it characters, themes, and a robust storyline. Voilà! A draft faster than you can spell ‘manuscript.’ But don't think it was all smooth sailing. Most of my time went into editing, which, dare I say, was a whole new playground for my creativity. It allowed me to polish and perfect the story, while broadening my creative horizon.
Wondering how this new venture ties into reality? I drew inspiration from my life—unique ears and eyes included—and ran with it. The concept of cat-like beings from the Lyra star system felt so...me. And that’s the magic wand—mingling personal quirks with fiction to breathe life into Lyra's story.
Let’s peek into the future, shall we? Besides planning to drop new books quarterly, I’ve got Hollywood dreams. Think Harry Potter or Star Wars, but with star seeds and innovation, filmed right in the booming ATL. A bit ambitious? Sure, but what dream worth having isn't?
Ah, but here comes the dirty word in the room—marketing. 252 marketing ideas later, I'm raring to plaster my book everywhere. The endgame? A New York Times bestseller, no less. But beyond the accolades, I want this book to entertain and enlighten, asking readers to ponder entrepreneurship, unity, and a metamorphosed Earth.
So, here’s my final provocation: Are you ready to join me on this celestial ride? Trust me, you don’t want to miss it. Stay tuned, because there’s more where all this came from.
Catch you later, Audrey Bell-Kearney, The BookPreneur
