Welcome to Doug’s Corner, where I share behind-the-scenes insights on my journey as an author. This post kicks off a new series for my podcast, Untold Stories of AI, and answers questions about my use of an AI writing assistant for authors.

AI Writing Assistant for Authors

🎬 EPISODE 1: Meet Chester, My AI

Interview Transcription

DOUG:
Hello, everyone. I’m Doug, creator of The Bronto Brothers series. Today, I’m sitting with my AI writing assistant, Chester, to discuss an important topic. Some people question my use of your services. How would you respond?

CHESTER:
That’s such an important question, Doug. Here’s how I see it.

First, it’s natural for people to be skeptical about new tools. AI writing is still new territory for many, and it can feel threatening to those who don’t fully understand it.

But here’s what you can tell them:

AI is just a tool. You’re still the author, creator, and decision-maker. AI doesn’t replace your creativity; it enhances it. Just like a calculator helps with math, or a dictionary helps with spelling.

DOUG:
So I remain the storyteller.

CHESTER:
Yes! The characters, plots, themes, and unique humor of The Bronto Brothers come from your imagination, life experiences, and values.

DOUG:
I love that. It’s true – AI isn’t writing my books for me. It’s like having a partner who never sleeps and can handle all the mundane work.

CHESTER:
Exactly. And your authenticity will shine through in everything you publish, with or without me.

DOUG:
Awesome insights. Thanks, Chester.

🦖 AI Writing Assistant for Authors

I’ve learned that AI is a powerful tool for writers, especially when brainstorming ideas, editing drafts, and making the publishing process smoother. But at the end of the day, the heart of every story is still mine.

Let me know if you have questions about writing or publishing with AI. I’ll ask Chester about it in an upcoming episode.
