I wrote a book but I don't want to use ai to fix it. Am I being stupidly stubborn for wanting the imperfections just so that way it shows it hasn't been written by ai?

You can use a human editor

You can work with AI without it overtaking your work. It does what you tell it to do, if all you want is editing/suggestions you can do that. AI is a tool like any other, if you specify limits and bounds it's still your work and your effort. You might not even need it and are just overthinking things. Rest some and then look things over again, see how it reads and you might not want to change anything after that.

So long as you use it as a tool to improve your work instead of letting it do the work for you then you may as well take advantage of the tools you have. My process usually involves asking it “what problems do you see with this?” repeatedly and often arguing with the AI back and forth.

Writing a book is an amazing accomplishment! In my opinion, my favorite authors are always the ones where you feel like you get to know their personality by reading their book! Of course, good editor can be helpful but a book doesn’t have to be ai-polished to have a compelling story that people want to read!

They Don’t Want What They Want. Only Part of It [16/12].

Is it greed, or merely confusion? People fleeing from what they once longed for. It is both, yet neither. Rather, it is ignorance born of vague meanings and loose definitions. When they turn away from the desired, it is rarely the desire itself they reject, but what inevitably comes with it. Human... read more

Any advice?

I want to begin editing and shaping my new book soon. Writing has always been a deep passion of mine, but work pressure and constant responsibilities keep getting in the way. I often feel stuck in a cycle of postponing what I love because of daily tasks and exhaustion. What can I do? Any gentle,... read more

The colourful field of humans

To me each person on here is like a miniature world. I feel like a child in a toy store. Of course, human beings are not toys, rather I mean it is like the looks, the bios, the posts exhibit some variety of features that could be seen as something resembling colours of some interactive objects....

“It feels like life was set up wrong.” South Asian men in dating, the brutal reality, and what actually works

Let’s start with the truth: if dating feels painfully hard for you, it is very often not because you are inferior. But here’s the other truth, equally important: society is not kind. And in many Western countries, South Asian men (Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepali, etc.) can be... read more

A Poem Of Love, Forsaken

This little song is from nothing wrong of someone's great mistake. I was feelin' down, wearing a frown, and to write was my stake. Read along with me, and come to see a story of harsh fate. Of a man in love, though not loved, and how he realized far too late.

Feeling the burn 🔥

I wrote 3 chapters in the last 24 hours alone, definitely starting to feel the burn coming on. What's a good way to get rid of the pre burn out feeling and avoid burn out all together? Really want to finish writting my book without taking too long of a break that i end up getting lazy and push it... (edited) read more

Where the courage hide when love emarges?

Many rather seek validation for their current path than confront uncomfortable truths about where it's leading.

The truth will never sound kind to ears addicted to lies.

Bridges don't always burn; some collapse under the weight of truth.

People want honesty until it exposes their own weakness.

Your boundaries don’t fail; your enforcement does.

You weren’t too much; they were too limited.

If they keep crossing the line, it’s because you erased it.

Some apologies are bait to reset your boundaries back to zero.

Some call you “too much” only because you remind them of what they tried to suffocate in themselves.

The truth is people leave not because you changed, but because they finally saw your depth and couldn’t swim.

Flattery is the cheapest currency of manipulation, and it buys silence fast.

When a narcissist calls you “difficult,” it means your boundaries are working.

When your ego gets bruised, your intelligence leaves the room.

You can’t complain about what you continue to allow.

You aren’t stuck; you just keep drinking the same poison.

You can’t fake emotional intelligence; your reactions will always expose you.

Comfort fattens the thing that will devour you.

Until you're comfortable with yourself, you'll never know if you've chosen someone out of love or out of loneliness 🌅
