This one is a little off-the-cuff, but I’ve been thinking about how we’re using AI as writers and the results our clients are seeing with generative AI tools.
The inspiration for this episode was a recent debacle involving LLM hallucinations. It had me thinking about AI workflows a year ago versus today, and I found myself questioning where we’ll be a year from now….
Will we all need to quit writing and raise alpaca on a homestead? Or is this the beginning of the end for AI-generated content? You decide what you think. This is only what I’m seeing on the ground.

I Tried to Write a Novel with AI. Here's How it Went.
You’ve seen the videos in your feed. Use AI to write a novel in only hours! But, does it work? I put two models to the test to see if I could generate a readable novel in less than a day.
Spoiler alert: I only got four chapters in before deciding whether it’s possible or not.

Will I finish and publish that novel? Yes! But not with AI. Watch this space for details.

LWP Business of Writing Ep. 03 - Break out of a 'broke freelancer' mindset
Ever felt stuck in survival mode? You're not alone—and you don’t have to stay there. In this episode, I break down what I’m calling freelance poverty thinking and how to shift into a more strategic, sustainable mindset as a freelance writer.
Hear tips and questions to ask yourself to shift out of a “grind or die” mindset and into something more realistic, more sustainable, and more aligned with how you want to live.
You’ll also hear two stories from the road to full-time freelancing: one about the time I burnt out on low-paying content work, and another about a colleague who finally gave herself permission to quit the grind and build a calmer, more aligned freelance life.
If you’re ready to stop scrambling and start leading a focused freelancing life, this is your mindset reset.
🎧 Listen in—and get more actionable advice in the companion blog post at LiveWritePublish.com (https://livewritepublish.com/how-to-stop-thinking-like-a-broke-freelancer/) (link goes straight to the post!)
