Seeking Ideas


  Hello, have you ever tried to come up with ideas for short stories? I am in the process of writing short stories and trying to find out where to get my ideas from. Some say people watch and see if a story will come to you that way. I tried that it didn't.  Some say just write down ideas that  comes to your mind. Tried that nothing came to it. Some say ideas come from the movies you watch or the television programs  you see. These are all good suggestions. What works for me is that I just wait, and then an idea pops into my mind. Personally, I think I have a ghost in my head telling me what to write. By that's my crazy side talking. Anyway, if you write short stories, where do you get your ideas from?

K'Wan Foye: Speaking about Writing and Publishing Urban Fiction

                       


                                 Hello all, I  thought you might like to listen to how an urban fiction writer like  Kwan's. Talk about how he got started writing his books and how he had to hustle in the beginning. Did I mention I love his stories? They are funny, realistic, and so much more. Enjoy

A.I. Is A Hot Mess!

 


Hello, all.  A.I., which stands for Artificial Intelligence, is a hot mess in a good and bad way. Here are my thoughts on it from a writer's point of view.  A.I. allows you to do so many things as a writer, get story ideas, make outlines, story titles, character information, and so many things that a writer needs to write. A.I. can do it for you. Heck if you look on YouTube, you will see where people are talking about how A.I. has written their books for them and they published them on Amazon for money. You can also see how A.I. Characters have taken over YouTube with characters that do talk shows, podcasts even movies. which I did see a movie that was totally A.I. generated, and it was good. I'm not knocking A.I. I'm just saying when it is too much. Using A.I. takes away your ability to think for yourself. Especially a writer. I will admit I use A.I. just for story ideas and maybe to give me information on writing styles, but then when I write a story, it's in my own words and most of it is from my own thoughts.

 Is A.I. making us lazy writers? We want to make that fast buck, so we let something else do the work for us. Remember, even if you use A.I., you have to re-read what it has written for you because it's emotionless and can't grasp a lot of the feelings and concepts you might want to add in your book. I tried to create a character using A.I. just so I could get a visual when I write the story, and A.I. got it all wrong. 

So, all I'm saying is think about your stories. yes, let A.I. help you if you need it, but don't let it take your creativity away from you because you're too lazy to use what god has blessed you with, which is your brain.  Also, remember when using A.I. it takes from many sources, so putting your complete faith in it who knows if you're not using someone else's stuff as your own? Just my personal thoughts.
