Shut The Fuck Up And... book series
SummaryDespite years of writer's block, I am committed to completing my first self-help book, Shut The Fuck Up and Sleep, while exploring how AI can support the writing, editing, and research process without replacing my voice or authorship.
I have helped publish three books by two different authors, working across editing, layout, and website development to support the presentation and promotion of their books. I have wanted to write a book of my own for years, but have struggled with writer's block and finding the time and motivation to complete it.
My goal is to develop a series of self-help books under the title Shut The Fuck Up And [insert here]. The first book about sleep is largely complete.
The project now has reached a different kind of obstacle. With the growing availability of AI tools, I am trying to determine how much AI should be integrated into my writing process. I do not want AI to write the book for me, but I have been struggling to get this book over the finish line. I see greater value in using it as a tool to help organize my thoughts, refine the writing, and support the research process.
The challenge now is to establish a clear boundary between using AI as an editorial and research tool and maintaining my own voice, ideas, and authorship. I want to use the technology deliberately, without allowing it to replace the work of writing.
