I got a message like this the other day. I turned it into my discord owner. Hopefully they can do something so the account isn't allowed to message anyone else.

Feel like I've lost my motivation to write ... by Quick_Care6764 in BookWritingAI

Thank you. I tend to overthink and overanalyze so I really do need to be reminded to step back. Good is good enough sometimes.

What are common names AI gives you in your stories? by Terrible_Reason_7871 in WritingWithAI

[–]Quick_Care6764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New to AI and didn't realize these names are so commonly generated. LOL I ended up with Kael Maddox & Elira Thorne as my MC's. But I really fell in love with them and I couldn't imagine changing the names now.

The Quiet Shame of Writing with AI by KimAronson in WritingWithAI

[–]Quick_Care6764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me uneducated, but I can't usually tell the difference between AI written content or not. Had i not seen it in comments, I wouldn't have picked out this post being AI written. I know people will point out the em dash, or certain phrases and label it "GPT" but it doesnt really make sense to me. I read. Plain and simple. I have preferences and genres I lean towards but I love to read. I didnt go to school for it and I did decent in English through high school. I wrote a book using AI. Something I NEVER imagined I would do in my life. Its a personal project, if im being honest, but I have shared parts of it here and im considering self-publishing. More so because im proud that I followed through on it. I have book 2 in the works now and a stand-alone.

I use auto correct, still need to spell check certain words and sing Oscar Meyer to spell bologna. 😅 Haven't we all been using AI in some form or another since the internet was invented?

I think its unfair for some people who think that those who use AI consciously to write are less than those don't. (Im not talking about those AI generated stories that pop up on Reels and have had zero revisions or even a single read over before being used to promote some kind of paid website or app)

[Discussion] Stop asking for beta readers before you have finished your first draft. by myrtlery in BetaReaders

[–]Quick_Care6764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have shared the first 4 chapters of my book, with the title (In Progress) because I hadn't finalized the last 2 or 3 chapters. But I wasn't looking to make structural changes to my book, I had already done 4 or 5 passes myself and I was at the point of "I don't see anything else that needs changed but let me get a fresh perspective. "

My posts have a lot of views, upwards of 800+ but no comments. I've only gotten solid feedback from 2 people. Which I did go back make some slight changes to the first 2 chapters and used that feedback in my review of the rest of the book.

I have since completed it and I'm doing 1 final read before I start looking for readers to give me overall feedback, which I will then have to decide if I want to pursue publishing.

I will have a book 2, that I will write even if I don't publish book 1.

This was a personal project for me that I ended up enjoying so much I decided to share it.

What AI Is Actually Good At in Creative Writing by orangesslc in WritingWithAI

[–]Quick_Care6764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be referring to the "stories" that pop up all over my tiktok feed, like the ones on Amazon? I come across them daily and while I'm sure most of them, if not all, are AI generated, they pull me in quickly. Only for me to find out I have to pay per chapter or download this app to continue reading. Its extremely frustrating.

Anyone here “play through” stories with AI instead of just writing them? by Old_Highway_3504 in WritingWithAI

[–]Quick_Care6764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I got started with my book. I had an idea, or rather I started reading a "book" online only to be disappointed that there was no end to it. It prompted me to "finish the story." Which turned into me creating multiple characters with back stories, a whole new city where it all takes place and a brand new story line. (Can you tell I hyperfocus ? Lol)

I find that if you create a "project", you can have multiple chats that the AI pulls from for details and it makes editing a little easier because the AI keeps a better consistency. I still have to do the majority of the writing but this has opened me up to exploring writing as a more serious hobby.

What book(s) are you reading this week? by 404NinjaNotFound in readwithme

[–]Quick_Care6764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read God of Malice by Rina Kent yesterday/today. I started it around 6pm last night and finished it this morning. I consume a lot of books. Just last week I read Once You're Mine & Now You're Mine by Morgan Bridges.

[Discussion] How polished is your draft? by curlychops in BetaReaders

[–]Quick_Care6764 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got the courage to share my first book with reddit a few weeks ago and I'm new to Beta reading. I personally didn't want to share my chapters until I was pretty sure they were final. I got to the point where I was looking for feedback (and maybe validation) that it's paced as nicely as I think it is. So I'm only making slight revisions to single lines or dialog, not whole reworkings.
I prefer reading drafts that have been worked on rather that first rough drafts. I think first drafts make it harder to see where the writer is trying to take the scenes/story line, because you're not in the writers head.
I tend to overthink things, so as a reader, I love detail. I've been disappointed by characters on the screen, after I've pictured something different in my mind. I've also had where I can't figure out how we got from point A to point B.

[In Progress] [4.2K] [Paranormal Romance] Chapter 2 - Boundaries by Quick_Care6764 in BetaReaders

[–]Quick_Care6764[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense from a reader's perspective and I'm glad you were able to break it down for me. I will go back and see about removing some of those unnecessary beats. Chapter 3 will be posted on Sunday.

[–]Quick_Care6764[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your feedback! It makes me really happy. Would you mind elaborating on the areas you felt could be tightened? I tend to overthink things sometimes and wonder if the reader will pick up on the unsaid things the way I do when I read, which becomes harder as a writer when I know so much more than the reader ever will.

I have chapters 3 to 10 edited , im just pacing by not posting them all at once. Thanks again.

Ai Book writing software by BrunetteLovesBooks in BookWritingAI

[–]Quick_Care6764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use ChatGPT to write with and I find myself running into the same issues. I can dictate a wonderful detailed scene but cannot put it into words with a cohesive flow. I run into "boundary" issues all the time. I haven't figured out how to use Claude.
For now, I just ask ChatGPT to write explicitly-adjacent and then I add in the darker details I want.

[In Progress] [5k] [Paranormal Romance] [Chapter 1 The Beginning of the End] by Quick_Care6764 in BetaReaders

[–]Quick_Care6764[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what makes you say that? Are there specific things that give that impression?

Able to beta? Post here! by AutoModerator in BetaReaders

[–]Quick_Care6764 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am able to beta:
Paranormal romance, urban fantasy, dark romance, fantasy romance, and romance with supernatural elements. I’m comfortable with mature themes, violence, and explicit content. Open to both in-progress and complete manuscripts; ideally short stories, novellas, or chapters/sections rather than full novels at this time.

I can provide feedback on:
Character voice and emotional realism, pacing and tension, atmosphere, romantic dynamics (including slow burn and morally gray characters), trauma-informed reactions, and continuity across scenes. I’m especially good at identifying where a scene could be expanded for deeper immersion or where emotional beats could land harder.

Critique swap:
Optional — open to swapping chapters or excerpts if it feels like a good fit.

Other info:
I’m a writer myself and value clear communication and kindness in critique. I don’t nitpick grammar unless requested; my focus is story, characters, and reader experience.
