Manage episode 474865710 series 2996633
Can AI truly enhance your creativity without taking over? Our previous episodes left us wondering, but in this episode of "Words to Write by," we interview educator Kate Scott of the "AI for Squishy Humans" newsletter who offers some refreshing answers.
Kate reveals her practical framework for taming AI's "enthusiastic toddler" tendencies and transforming it into a genuine creative partner. Drawing from her own experience with her just-published indie fantasy novel, Kate demonstrates how she leverages AI for targeted marketing strategies and discovering innovative ways to connect with potential readers. She shares unexpected ways AI can serve writers beyond just generating content—from personalized writing coaches to creative problem-solving tools that actually strengthen your unique voice.
If you've been curious but cautious about AI in your creative process, this conversation with Kate on "Words to Write by" explores approachable methods for conquering blank page syndrome and organizational hurdles that might be exactly what you need to hear.
Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
