Episode Wrap-Up and Notes

Hey everyone! If you caught the latest episode of “Two Brothers Talkin'”, you know we went deep on my experience publishing a book using AI tools. It was a fun convo, let me tell you! Here’s the breakdown, plus some thoughts on the crazy potential of AI for writers.

The Struggle is Real: AI Publishing Hurdles

• Amazon Antics: Pre-orders, formatting, confusing reminders…let’s just say those guys don’t make it easy.
• ISBN Woes: Services like Bowker have a grip on this little number, and that means it can get pricey for indie authors.
• Reminder: Even with AI help, traditional publishing challenges still exist!

• Not Your Average Chatbot: This AI writes with personality. Think less rigid robot, more quirky writing buddy.
• Experiment Time! Every model is different. Test out ChatGPT, Gemini, and others to find what sparks your creativity.
• Power of a Good Prompt: Guide your AI to generate its best, most useful ideas.

From World-Building to Time-Bending Therapy

• AI, Build Me a World: Need a fresh sci-fi setting? A twisty fantasy landscape? Your AI can brainstorm crazy-fast.
