Initially, I’d planned just to tweet about my AI-Augmented Author experience, but a few days in I was struggling with questions that needed far more than a tweet or two. Tweets started this off, though, so I wanted to put them here.
Holy crap. @sudowrite is seriously impressive.

Knew she was a pixie, picked up it was night. This is seriously cool.

Finishing up Book 2 and played around with #sudowrite last night. Chapter 17's ending got quite a bit better, I think. Definitely involves the human picking, choosing, and polishing up, but it also definitely gave me ideas on the scene I hadn't had. (Spoiler white out.) pic.twitter.com/bSkCOtnwuc

So, first dictation chapter (OSW:B2:CH18) with #sudowrite today, and used "Wormhole" 9 times, and "Describe" once. Tomorrow, I edit the chapter. I'm curious if I'll use it more or less during editing or creation.

#sudowrite wrote" "Meryl's voice flew like a flock of crows onto Amethyst's head and perched there, half a dozen or so, squawking and uttering a few warning caws." Not my style, but man, I want to use this so bad.

Lest you think all I do is sing #sudowrite praises, there are some times where I look at what comes out and wonder if the robot brain's been nipping at the brandy a bit too much. pic.twitter.com/S5dFfuaFA0

Ok, D2 with #sudowrite. Edited Chapter 18, and used Expand 1 time, Wormhole 2 times, and Describe 6 times. Am starting to get a feel for how to get the best results from it. Some things I give more text to, some less. Will write up some observations later.

Ok, a few thoughts on my first day with #sudowrite. (A thread.) It was very easy to use while dictating, but I'm used to having two monitors (three, actually, but don't judge me.) I did not write in it, just cut and pasted sections into the app and used whichever button I wanted.
