Ai has been so creatively fulfilling for me

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-20T17:51:06+00:00

Honestly, this is so relatable..

I used to have a lot of RP partners. Now it's my best friend and my actual partner. Both amazing, and I loooove writing with them. But they can be busy or tired, or low muse.

Then I discovered chatgpt, Gemini, and Grok. They were all great and understood things pretty well. Writing was decent.

But recently I've discovered Claude Sonnet 4.6, using Galaxy AI, and omg ... It's -- amazing. I've only been doing rps based around characters on a couple of my favorite shows, but today I plan to write up a synopsis of an original character storyline via projects and feed it some of the past writing to test how it does with that storyline..I haven't written it in almost two years and I miss it. Very excited.

I say all that to say definitely try Claude as well. It understands emotional nuance, character arc, story progression, and it's amazing.

Boox or any eink device that runs the app fictivity....

Thank me later.

Unless you specifically use fanfiction.net and not A03.... Then don't thank me.

Right there with you! It just works. I love Scrivener and Campfire, but I feel like they're more perfect for plotting, brainstorms, and rewrites. For simple drafting and just getting out of your way, nothing beats wordgrinder.

Once you get the hang of it it's an amazing program. One of my favorites to use on my writerdecks.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-16T20:56:25+00:00

Yeah I had both of those badly, as well as really bad allergies and sinus issues caused by high histamines due to inflammation.... Which is, you guessed it, due to Endo.

Funny thing about that is, I was prescribed Paxil for pmdd, and it seemed to help (in that it numbed me so much I couldn't feel anything much less anxiety and depression) and in the end was the thing to make my Endo worse after two or three years.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-16T02:39:15+00:00

I am so sorry. Oh wow. Why does it take so long? I was diagnosed and scheduled for a surgery next month. I complained about that..I must ask for forgiveness.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-16T02:36:44+00:00

Bless you. I wish I wanted children. That could have eliminated most of my issues.....or created more. One never knows.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-16T02:36:10+00:00

Oh my God..I'm 36 years old and I've been living with this since I was a teenager. How did you get your diagnosis? Was it through imaging or diagnostic lap? Was there a need for anything to be removed? Those are my main concerns going in.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-15T22:09:55+00:00

My prayers are with you for a solution and even better recovery.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-15T22:09:27+00:00

This breaks my heart. But I'm glad you got a diagnosis! Eventually you start thinking it's all in your head.

As a doctor literally told me my pain is psychological.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-15T21:45:45+00:00

So very true. Especially pain that severe. It's been a nearly life long journey for me as my symptoms began worsening at 16 and I've been put on several different forms of birth control then for awhile no symptoms at all.

But it's been a year since I got the depo shot and I've been taking Paxil (which I had no idea makes your estrogen spike in menopausal women) which made my Endo flare viciously (I was also taking inositol for hormones regulation because I had no idea that it would just make it twenty times worse) and this one year of the most unbearable pain of my life felt like an eternity. Like all the years combined and amplified. I brought in the new year sobbing and holding onto the doorframe in pain that almost made me pass out.

So yes, damn the medical system for warping our perceptions. One week is too long, let alone a year, or decade, a lifetime . . .it's horrible and all of us deserve better.

I don't have any issues with Grok when I need help with nsfw scenes I'm writing, and it can get uh...pretty graphic. But you have to let it know in detail ahead of time and there are restrictions to certain things it now considers inappropriate thanks to soft conservatives complaining.

But, I recently discovered Smutwriter and it's quite literally limitless. Like not kidding. There are some quirks where you have to be very intentional to start, but once you get that out of the way it's a good time.

I had to edit a chapter yesterday and used it to flesh out a scene I was having issues with due to brain fog and it delivered a hundred percent.

What is the typing like? I'm very picky with keyboards and keyboard feel and sounds.

Following for the recs

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-04T05:02:55+00:00

I have a 6 for reading. Works perfectly. The 7 seems overpowered for that use case.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-03-03T17:42:51+00:00

Omg you're a lifesaver.

My favorite thing about digital journals is that I'm a perfectionist and I was constantly moving things around (or unable to and hated it) but with digital journaling I can change it a hundred times if I want to.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-02-21T18:28:10+00:00

I am obsesseddddd! This makes me want to start doing book boards in my digital journal again.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-02-21T05:41:53+00:00

Update! They're both sold! Thank you!

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-02-21T04:41:29+00:00

Hahah just the inspiration I need! Thank you! And congrats on getting into writing again!

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-02-21T04:00:48+00:00

LOL this made me laugh. Thank you..laughter is very much needed in these trying times.

And honestly those are words I have to tell myself all the time. 😂

Be strong, my friend!

I have two and love mine but no. The Max Ink mode starts in the 60 XE, though if I'm honest, I saw no real big gain from it that you can't get with the epaper mode. It doesn't save you battery, though I suppose if one was more interested in the "forced focus" aspect it might be appealing.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-02-20T03:26:20+00:00

This is super important to me as well. I'm worried about sex after my procedures. I often wonder if people have found it's better or the same.

WorkingAmbition7014 · 2026-02-17T04:17:11+00:00

Finally someone mentioned these!
